So cozy, and comfortable with a large open living room full of games, books and social areas. Tea cookies and coffee self service all day. Super clean and walkable to town.
Great little cottage!

We stayed at Wisteria for two nights and had a great time. It is a very clean, cozy and comfortable space. Len greeted us upon our arrival and the check in process was very easy. I had spoken to Len a few days prior as I was having issues with the ferry schedule and he offered solutions to help. The guest house is a short walk to the main area of the island where you can find many stores and restaurants, as well as the Saturday market. We had a great stay and would certainly come back in the future.

We enjoyed our week at Wisteria. Our bed and room was comfortable. Steve the cat was always there to greet us. The common area is a great place to have a cookie or a tea/coffee.
We sometimes got food to go and enjoyed our meal in the common area. There is a high likelihood of meeting other guests to exchange notes about SSI.
The communication with Wisteria was clear that they prefer self check in with many directions of what is expected of guests. We met Kim at check in and Len a few days later. Coming and going as we pleased was nice.
The rooms aren’t sound proof so others’ comings and goings also are heard.
All in all, it’s a nice place that we’d return to next time in SSI

Wisteria is a fantastic get away, and the atmosphere and amenities are incredibly relaxing. Staff are super nice and informative, and the location is close to the Ganges town.
Be sure to say hello to Steve the cat :3 Steve was a great and cuddly host!
