Owner's Profile
Owner Description
We came to Canada from New Zealand in 1975 and only intended to stay 2 years, but fell in love with the Okanagan. We have seen many changes from the valley being predominantly fruit to now, a large well established wine region. We have travelled extensively and enjoy the company of our guests.
Russell has a passion for photography and Christine is an avid gardener.

Beautiful private gardens to relax and enjoy the quail.
Only five minutes walk to town, and 10 to the local tennis courts and public swimming pool. Tuc El Nuit Lake provides non motorized water sports, only a 5 minute drive away.

Christine and Russell's warm hospitality made this a perfect getaway experience. They have the suite nicely decorated with a comfortable bed and beautiful linens. Russell is very knowlegeable about the local wine industry and tourist opportunities the South Okanagan offers. With our extended stay, we did appreciate the complimentary bottle of local wine. Soaking in the hot tub after our days of wine tasting and cycling was the perfect way to unwind and relax. We would highly recommend Absolutely Suite.
Owner response:Thanks for the feedback. It was great to have you stay with us. Hope to see you again if you are travelling abroad.

We stayed at Russ & Christine B&B for a few days and had an amazing time. The place itself is very clean and quiet but what to say about the beautiful patio and view on the valley. My 2 years old had so much fun running arround the flowers and little quails. We will for sure be back next time we come in the Okanagan. Thank you guys, Great Job!!!

We had a very lovely vacation in Oliver; the suite is clean, fully stocked and very lovely, complete with cool coffee table books. Russell & Christine are very friendly owners with many helpful suggestions of things to do in the area; to wit, they recommended a nearby fossil bed that is not mentioned in the tourist information that completely blew our 2 & 5 year old's minds. We highly recommend this property and we will return here for our next vacation in Oliver.

That was just our luck! The suite is located on a beautiful street, it's clean and cozy, with a beautiful mountview, hottub, patio & BBQ. The food was fantastic! Christine and Russell are sweet and very hospitable people. We really enjoyed their company! Our 7yr. old kids loved the place too and going to miss it:). We all want to come back next year and years ahead and we feel very comfortable to reccommend this B & B to all the people who we know going to Okanagan every year. Thank you Christine and Russell and all the best!

We really enjoyed staying here in Oliver. We rode down the river in our tubes and went bicycle riding on the trail that runs parallel with the river. Thanks for the use of your awesome bikes. Thanks so much for the comfortable suite and nice gardens.
