Comfortable and sweet!
2 mins away from the terminal. The host got the house ready for us way earlier and allowed us to move in right after the ferry arrived the island. Check in was quick and easy. The office is very cute and very convenient. The separated houses were little but very comfortable. We loved our staying in the property. Our kids enjoyed the badminton and volleyball games. The little ponds and gardens are very beautiful. We will definitely recommend this property.

I stayed at the garden suite, their biggest cottage on site and was very happy with my stay. The cottage is super spacious and I love the sky light they have in the living room area. Also the kitchen is well equipped for cooking your own meals. Furniture is not new but the entire suite is super clean. I feel like living a home away from home. There are apple trees on site and the staff even showed us where to pick nice apples! Staff can also be reached easily by phone or txt. Check-in and check-out were smooth, just followed the email and note provided in cabin. Location is perfect for walking to Bellhouse park, easy hike to The Bluffs to overlook Active Pass. Also, many deers in the neighborhood. Just a note to bring your own coffee/tea, shower gel/shampoo. They do provide some but if you’re staying for multiple nights, may not be enough. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would love to come back again!

Great location and beautiful property. However, there was no air conditioning in the cabine and was very hot in the cabine making it hard to sleep. We were able to find mosquito screens for only 2 windows. The rest of the windows didn’t have screens. We were there 3 nights and I never saw a staff on the property, the small office in the parking lot was empty the whole time. Very rustic experience.

Réponse de Fred le 21 juin 2021
Hello Anonymous. Thank you for staying with us and for taking time to post a review. I am sorry that you did not sleep well due to the heat. I wish I knew which cottage you were in. In these times of social distancing, it is common that guests check themselves in and leave without contact. I suppose the best we could have done is supplied you with an adequate number of fans to move air, and with extra screens if you needed them. We usually put only two or three screens in a cottage depending on which cottage it is. (I sleep with windows open but with no screens on the warm evenings to maximize air flow, although really warm nights are not overly common on this island.) We are readily contactable by phone and text and encourage guests to contact us with any questions or concerns. We try to respond to the needs of our guests quickly, but if we don't receive a request during the stay, there is not much that can be done after the fact. And I am sorry about that. Lastly to respond to your observation that there is no one in the kiosk office, that is usually the case. I do however live on the property, and Paul and Heather live just down the street. Kindest regards Fred

This is the second time I’ve stayed at Driftwood Village and have no complaints! Heather and Fred are fantastic and more than happy to answer any questions about the local area. I’m always on foot and they’ll assist with hikes nearby, pristine shore access, and are available if their guests have any needs. Would recommend!

Weekend getaway
We stayed at Driftwood for 2 nights and it was a very well-kept property and incredibly close to the ferry (2min drive). You can hear the sosunds of the ferry horn as it docked. The curb appeal is nice as there is a lot of open grass area and the cottages themselves are very charming. The interior of the cottages are quite dated. There are shag carpets and older furniture. There were a few unpleasent musty smells emanating from under the sink and the bathroom ceiling had a few spiders and webs. They had clean towels, toilet paper and a bar of soap, so we brought our own shampoo, hair dryer and paper towels. Overall, it is what we expected at 3 stars. We didnt mind as we did not spend much time in the room. To put it in context, if you are seeking a low cost, no frills option, this could be a good choice.

Basic very clean cabin, the kitchen had everything we needed. Very clean bathroom. We stayed in a 1bedroom cottage, but there was no door to the bedroom so there was no privacy. Not sure if all the cabins don’t have bedroom doors, but if you are traveling with children that go to bed early, you won’t be able to isolate them and have time alone...

Hi Mari: It was a pleasure to host you, your husband and your adorable little girl! Cottage #3 is the only cottage with that "doorless" idiosyncrasy and I am sorry to hear it caused challenges. That cottage is a favourite with couples travelling without kids, so I am very glad to get this input. I wish you had said something so that we could have moved you to a larger cottage with more separation. When you return, I suggest the #8 Georgia Queen Suite which has 1 separate bedroom and is quite a bit larger, or one of our 2 bedroom cottages. Thank you again for staying at Driftwood Village!

This was a lovely property with great ocean views and very clean cottages in good condition . We were very close to great beaches, restaurants, hikes and viewpoints. The owner was very kind and welcoming too. Loved being able to sit on the deck while our kids ran around the grounds and we all watched ferries pass by. Would love to return!

Hi Terry I was looking to see if you had made a studio reservation but could not find any for the "extra" studio (that we do not advertise with Expedia. All the cottages here are "custom" and only the Lilac has a small, low ceiling. Could you let me know when your reservation was made? We typically replace appliances on a regular basis. I would like to know more.

Hi Glen. Sorry your experience here was not good. I must say though any of these things could have been easily rectifiable if we had been made aware. The hot water has never been a problem before or since, but it needs to run a bit before getting up to temperature. As to the coffee, we would have gladly brought you some if you had asked..right to your door. And yes, I do not hang out in the kiosk office, but I, or someone else is usually available either by phone or in person to assist with questions or requests. We are not a hotel. We are housekeeping cottages. Clearly not what you were looking for. Sorry.

Quaint Cabin for a Tranquil Stay
I stayed at Driftwood Village for two evenings to explore Galiano Island and it was lovely. The vibe was very laid back, the surrounding area and gardens were lovely, and the hotel staff were considerate and responsive. Though I like the cabin feel, it might be good to do a little bit of updating to some of the furniture/bedding and a bit more cleaning/dusting is needed in the cabins. It's a lovely little place though, and you'll enjoy your time on Galiano Island from this vantage point.
