Accomodation information

Salt Spring loves visitors! You may have just one night away from normal life to attend the retreat - a hotel room may be best for you. If you're making this a family trip, consider a short term rental through vrbo or airbnb.

We're encouraging a fend-for-yourself approach, here are some ideas to get you started.

Hotels near our venues

Both the Salt Spring Island Public Library and the Salt Spring Island Multipurpose Space are conveniently in downtown Ganges. Here are a few hotel options within a short distance:

Jen has put a lot of work into researching available housing options

These are her recommendations - thanks Jen!

Availability for April 3-5 as of Nov 2 - Book soon, accommodation is limited on the Island and it is a popular getaway site. Check cancellation policies.

Word of warning — when you search for Salt Spring accommodation on various sites be sure to double/triple check the rental is actually on Salt Spring. Frequently, rentals in Vancouver Island towns/areas that are close to Salt Spring (eg Crofton, Cowichan Valley) show up as “Salt Spring” — you could get to Salt Spring fairly easily from these places but you would have to take ferries, and would be constrained by ferry schedules
