Gorgeous place to stay on Salt Spring Island

The resort is an exceptional place to stay both from a design perspective and outdoor retreat. I would highly recommend this place, especially for a couples getaway.

Light Water Cove is one of a kind, beautiful and relaxing oasis. Almost hard to believe a place this beautiful exists. A must see and stay on Salt Spring Island. I would love to come back soon.

Me and my girl friends loved staying at Lighteater Cove. The owner and staff were so welcoming and friendly. We loved how well maintained and beautiful the property was. The breakfast was amazing as well! Will definitely be back!

Stunning view. Wonderful relaxing ambiance. Exceptional value for the money.

10/10 Exceptional

This property has one of the most beautiful multi-tiered gardens I have ever seen, with access to a tranquil beach at its base. That alone accounted for the value, and one would be wise to book here before this property established itself as The Place to stay on Saltspring.
Vernon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our visit was magical, peaceful, what a wonderful place. The property is stunning and the staff was welcoming and attentive. We enjoyed a wonderful tour of the farm on the property. There's incredible attention to detail everywhere you look - in the architecture and the gardens. Luxurious, romantic, great venue for a special occasion, yoga retreat. Well worth a visit.

8/10 Very good

Incredible property, architecture and landscaping. The staff were very timid and solemn. We expected the sauna and hot tub to be included in the room rate. The yoga/sound bath room is spectacular but no classes were offered during our stay.

10/10 Exceptional

During the few days I spent here, I sighed from the bottom of my heart every day: How lucky I am to choose here to stay! What a great place this is! I call my family every day and tell them they must come here for their vacation. The entire resort a perfect work of art. All the details are exciting! I like her warm and meticulous checkin and unique checkout. If you want to experience it, book now! You will be very satisfied.

A sanctuary is an understatement, this is a hidden gem on Salt Spring Island! The privacy, exclusivity, and the integration with the nature, along with all the landscaping and orchard, is truly impressive. This masterpiece took over 10 years to prepare, incredibly lucky for the owner to call this home. This is the place you’ll want to come to unwind, heal, and rejuvenate. Expect nothing less than perfection! The house dog Maple is also lovely, she’ll greet you and play for fun!

There is only thing I did not agree with: after a massage they wanted to charge extra to use hot tub steam pool and sauna. The massage was great however!
Loren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a stunning site. Peaceful and restful and just lovely overall. Massage therapist was incredible. Continental breaky was light but delish and just enough. Might suggest some couples games in the shared living room in the lower house like crib boards and extra sets of cards. We found some in the upper building library late on the second day but a crib board would be nice. And maybe a coffee machine in the lower house as well instead of just the upper building. But truly incredible.

We had a restful time at this beautiful property. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful. We appreciated the low key vibe of the place. It felt more like a retreat than a hotel. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the complimentary coffee throughout the day. Very comfortable beds and linens as well. Thank you Lightwater Cove!
