Cob Cottage

Channel the pursuit of pause in this one-of-a-kind earth house. The cozy retreat was hand-sculpted using local and sustainable natural materials, and features a central living space with cantilevered slab stairs leading to the loft bedroom. Guests have access to the entire cottage and surrounding property. We live in the neighbouring house, and are happy to give advice or answer questions to help you make the most of your stay. The neighborhood is quite rural and mostly agricultural with several farms and a small private vineyard. The home is a 10 minute walk from the beach and a 20 minute walk from a family grocery and deli specializing in local organic produce. Mayne Island has a small community bus. Times and routes are limited, particularly in the winter. It will stop at the driveway. We also have an official hitch hiking system with signed Car Stops where you can wait for a ride. Usually you don't have to wait long. We are happy to offer pickup and drop off at the ferry dock as a courtesy to encourage car-free travellers, on days when the community bus is not running. Please let us know ahead of time that you'll be coming without your own transportation, and we will make sure that either we or the community bus (which will drop you off at our driveway) are there to meet you when your ferry arrives. The BC Ferries terminals near Victoria and Vancouver are easily reachable via public transit from their respective airports and downtowns.

All about Pender Island

Lying between the coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island, Pender Island is, in fact, two islands — North Pender and South Pender — separated by a canal and joined by a bridge. Long known for its coastal views, forested hills, and pristine waters, Pender is the kind of place that allows you to leave the world behind for a while and enjoy the outdoors. Even though this is the second most populous of Canada's Gulf Islands, there isn't even a town per se, just a plaza housing essential services like a grocery store, emergency care, and pharmacy.

The coastline is riddled with coves and beaches for swimming, fishing, and kayaking opportunities for all skill levels. On land, you’ll find more than 60 hiking trails, including those in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, and the island's narrow, twisting roads provide plenty of scenic adventures for cyclists. Stop for local produce or fresh home baking at one of the farm stands you'll pass while you’re out and about. Every Saturday from May through October, you can shop at the farmers market at the Community Hall, where you'll find local produce and artisan foods as well as arts and crafts.

What are the top things to do in Pender Island?

North Pender Parks

Pender Island has several beautiful parks to explore. In North Pender’s Roe Lake Park, you’ll find a 1.7-mile loop trail that takes you up to the lake through Douglas fir forest. Roesland, part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, is a lovely seaside park that makes a wonderful picnic spot. You may spot sea stars or harbor seals on the beach or eagles overhead.

South Pender Parks

South Pender boasts the spectacular Mount Norman Park, over 247 acres of wildlife-filled forest. A 30-minute hike on the main trail will lead you through towering fir trees to an unsurpassable view of the gulf. For swimming, you can try Beaumont Park, which offers a sandy beach as well as a selection of hiking trails.

Arts Tour

While you won’t find a formal arts tour on Pender, it is easy to put together your own. The island is dotted with studios, galleries, and independent shops that feature local handiwork. Painting, pottery, photography, needlecrafts, and locally crafted jewelry are just some of the treasures.
