We can offer a car exchange (Kia Rondo) and have 2 bikes for your use. BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION A CAR IS NOT REALLY REQUIRED, except of course for journeys out of town.

About the location

We look out over our own small green park area to downtown Vancouver. A 10 minute small ferry ride and another 10 minute walk takes you to the centre of town. Or just walk across the Cambie Bridge for 20 minutes.

The well known Granville Island with its market and craft shops is a 25 minute easy walk along the seawall; or you can take the small ferry there and to other locations along the False Creek inlet. Kayaking and other small boats are available for rent.
Public free tennis courts are just around the corner.

From our home you can walk or bike for hours around the continuous seawall, around Stanley Park and the English Bay and Kitsalano waterfront, with numerous opportunities to stop for coffee or eats.
