Winter Sea Kayaking Our approved sea kayaking tour company, Majestic Kayaking, is offering 3-hour harbour tours during the winter months. This is the first year that this tour has been offered and it has proven to be a huge success.

The 2010 Winter Olympics has brought attention not only to the Vancouver/Whistler area but to the entire province of British Columbia. We all hope that the many visitors to the Olympics will plan either a pre or post-olympic visit to Vancouver Island. A trip to Vancouver Island would not be complete without a visit to the rugged beauty of the west coast region. To celebrate this very special event we are offering a $20.10 discount off our regular room rates. In addition, we will donate $5 to the Special Olympics British Columbia Society for every reservation made up to June 30, 2010. For those guests that decide to stay with us during our Storm Watching months of January and February you will also get the standard $50 or $100 discount on your stay (see Storm Watching page for details). Our 10 Year Plan When we bought the Inn almost 10 years ago we decided that we would spend 10 years running the Inn and learning everything about Inn management. With a life-long dream to travel the world we are now equipped with skills that will allow us to do just that. Professional Innsitting is a growing industry and good innsitters are very much in-demand. As we are in our 9th year as innkeepers we are anxious to get on with our next life challenge and we have put the Inn up for sale. For those who have dreamed of someday owning an Inn we can only advise you to pursue that dream, as we have. It has its challenges but the rewards are huge especially when you get to live in such a spectacular property. The nature of our business attracts many interesting guests from all around the world. No day is the same, new guests, new personalities all with great life experiences to talk about. We invite anyone interested to view the details of the sale on our special web site www.rareopportunity.ca
