Ahhh... the soothing sounds of gentle music as you blissfully lay beneath a soft sheet, cocooned in relaxing smell and dim light. You find your nerves unbunding and your trouble slipping away.
Swedish massage is designed specifically to enhance circulation and blood flow to the large muscle groups.
The strokes of the massage relax individual muscles, while the overall experience eliminates mental stress, and removal of of bodily waste.
Price for 1 hr is $90.
HOT STONE MASSAGE!!!!!
Hot stone massage is a natural therapy in which warmed basalt stones are positioned on the parts of the client's body to maximize the therapeutic benefits.
Hot stone massage are beneficial on both physical and psychological levels. The heat from the stones helps your muscles relax, allowing the massage therapist to manipulate more effectively. As the heat from the stones penetrates into your deeper body tissues , your blood vessels open, resulting in improved circulation.
Price for 1 hr is $125. Custom spa packages may be available on request.
Please leave a message for the date you want and for the type of massage & number of requested guest treatments, and Catherine will get in touch with you to book your spa services.

About Property Manager
Catherine's love for people and caring service brought her into the profession of person aesthetics and fitness. My interest in people and healthcare brought me into a profession working in youth care. In 2004 I started a new chapter in life, opening Konrad cottages, and moving shortly after to Welcome Beach on the Sunshine Coast. In 2007, I was joined by Catherine, who for the next several year, was indispensable in our growth and raising level of service. Now with her return to work in aesthetics, she is starting to offer, spa services here at Konrad Cottages. We make it our goal to create the care free, comfortable, home away from home, were you our guests, can create special memories that will last a lifetime--be it by showing you how to paddle a kayak, setting a campfire on the beach, or by offer helpful local knowledge on the great activities to choose from her on the Sunshine coast.
Property Manager purchased this Cottage in 2004
Why Property Manager chose Sunshine Coast B
My parents, Peter and Maryanne Konrad, were looking for a vacation property with a safe accessible beach for swimming and boating for children and grandchildren, and for my sports fishing father who due to illness, had limited mobility. In the spring of 1984, when they saw this property on the quiet esplanade at Welcome Beach, they know their search was over. Over the next 20 years they enjoyed gathering family with them each summer at the cottage, to enjoy family times, swimming, boating, and fishing. The property changed over those years. We added a second bedroom to the Beach Cottage first, then built the Chalet in 1992, to make room for our growing families. My children, Theresa and Christine, and I have know this--peace of heaven--since they were born. Spending several weeks at the cottage each summer, as well as, many weekends each year, many wonderful family memories have been created here at the cottage. With the love we had for the Halfmoon Bay area, and the special spot on Welcome Beach, my parents had discovered many years before, after the passing of my parents, in 2004 we took a leap of faith, and took over the property, and since then, it has been our pleasure to shared it with other families, couples, and groups, as a vacation rental.
What makes this Cottage unique
The Sunshine Coast has long been a destination for cottagers, dating back to the turn of the century when the Union Steamships used to bring the wealthy ‘summer people’ up to the area, dropping them in Gibsons, Selma Park, Trail Bay, Halfmoon Bay and Pender Harbour. The tradition still exists, but these days its usually people traveling by car and looking to jettison their everyday cares for a while where life goes at a slower pace, nature is ever-present, and old-fashioned activities that promote adventurousness and togetherness dominate. Welcome to our world at Konrad Cottages in Halfmoon Bay! Konrad Cottages offers one of the best cottage/vacation rental experiences in Coastal British Columbia. Located in Halfmoon Bay, in a neighborhood referred to as Welcome Woods, our cottages are right on the water in one of the Coast’s most beautiful ocean bays – Welcome Beach. Welcome Beach is one of the few truly sandy beaches on the Coast, and is one of the better-kept secrets too! Limited parking for day visitors and no major facilities means that crowds typically head to Davis Bay or Porpoise Bay Park. Meanwhile you wake up in your own beachfront cabin and step right onto the beach any time you like, with all of the amenities you need handy and close by. You can walk the beach (it’s great for off-season storm watching too), swim along the shore or out to the float, put in your kayaks or small rowboats, or just sit on the beach and soak up some sun and watch the marine traffic go by while birds like the red-beaked oyster catcher, blue heron or bald eagle hunt along the shore and shallows. You can choose to stay either in the Cottage, a 2 bedroom bungalow with level beach access, or a 2 bedroom chalet nestled in a cedar grove, with a sunny spacious deck and views of the ocean. We hope to see you soon. Members since 2004 of the Sunshine Coast Bed and Breakfast, Cottage Owners Association.

Cozy cottage right on the beach
Incredible location
Wonderful stay
Our Stay...
Dear future guests,
Kindly keep in mind that we are always pleased to provide information on local amenities, such as restaurants near by. We encourage you to ask about these and other amenities, such as guided tours, boat rentals, etc...
There are a couple very nice options just a 10 min drive away in Secret Cove. Also, there is a fantastic chef that can be booked to prepare a lovely three course meal right in the cottage, at a very reasonable cost. However, he is very busy, and you should book him as soon as you book your stay.
If you would like an early check-in, this is sometimes available, however please check with us in advance so we are not caught off guard, as was the case with Barb. Her check-in was the day after Catherine and I had returned from my oldest daughters very lovely wedding. Being tired from all the festivities, I agree I wasn't as helpful as I could have been when Barb surprised me, arriving three hours before check-in time we had given her. I am so glad to hear my wonderful partner Catherine came to my rescue.
From time to time, unscheduled repairs are required, as was the case with the hot-tub at our Beach Cottage during Barb's stay. As we are operating at capacity throughout the summer, we sometime need to address these repairs during your stay, even if, as in this example you are not planning to use the hot-tub. In these case we will always endeavor to undertake required repair as unobtrusively as possible, and with the utmost consideration of our guests privacy and enjoyment of our property.
We hope to see you soon...
Ray and Catherine
