About Graeme and Helga Farquharson
We have lived in White Rock since 1985 and are local business people. Helga has been a realtor since 1977 and Graeme a travel consultant since 1986. In 2010 our nest became empty so we are sharing our unique setting.
Graeme and Helga Farquharson purchased this house in 1988
Why Graeme and Helga Farquharson chose Vancouver Coast & Mountains
Our home backs onto a 26 acre nature park with over three miles of hiking trails and year round streams. Many different species of birds as well as wild rabbits, racoons and squirrels roam the area and frequently visit our feeders. The view is ever changing.
What makes this house unique
We love to sit and watch the sail boats in the bay or the kite surfers at play. Paddle boards are the latest rage here as well as the kayak school in the evenings. There is always something to see.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you for you hospitality. This suite- so well appointed, open and spacious, cozy and welcoming was just what we needed during the trials of the last week.
Your kindness, baking cookies, card and the loan of your printer, were well beyond expectations of a host. Even Graeme's jokes were some joy in the midst of sadness.
We wish you all the best with your repairs.
These acts of human kindness especially when we are so far away from our own supports made the week bearable
With gratitude

Exceptional!

Fabulous Retreat
Superb location, beautiful view with easy access to promenade. The kitchen was very well equipped , and enough food provided for many breakfasts. Helga's home made cookies were a real treat! The most positive part was Graeme and Helga being very flexible , accommodating and helpful in many situations, they are amazing hosts. I would like to return and most certainly would recommend this place to others.
The best spot in WhiteRock
One of the finest places I've ever stayed.
( and the hosts matched that standard of excellence )
A perfect place to stay!
This is an absolutely perfect place to stay if you're coming to the Vancouver area. We like to divide our time between the city and beautiful countryside around Vancouver, and the location makes it easy to get around, an easy drive to Vancouver but surrounded by fabulous ocean and island views. The suite is comfortable and has everything you would want, and the view is spectacular. It's a short walk down to the beach at White Rock (though longer walking up the hill) and there is a nice park nearby for evening walks. Our hosts couldn't have been more accommodating. We arrived tired after a long day of traveling from Philadelphia, and were amazed and delighted to find not only freshly baked chocolate chip cookies but a kitchen stocked with fresh bread, home-made jams, cereal, eggs, juice, milk -- everything we could want for breakfast (and in our case, for dinner too). A great home away from home. We will definitely be back next time we are in Vancouver!
5 stars arn't enough
perfect getaway home from home. Graham and Helga had everything we needed from bread and milk to fresh from the oven cookies. Stunning views from the private veranda and only 2 minutes from the beach.
Felt right at home as soon as we arrived and really sad to leave.
Hoping to come back soon as we have whale watching vouchers to redeem
Vacation Suite
We have rented for a month for the last four years in White Rock, and this suite is by far the best we have had. The location and view of the ocean is fabulous, with a beautiful covered patio, garden and barbecue area. It is minutes from the beach where you can walk the boardwalk and pier for three miles. Graham and Helga are most gratuitous hosts and will do anything for you to make your stay great. There is everything you could ever need contained in the suite. We will definitely try to stay here if we come again
Feels like my second home
Once again had a wonderful time at this home. Graeme and Helga are so gracious. The location is perfect! We will continue to visit each year.
Map
Just minutes from the U.S. / Canadian border and 30 minutes to the Vancouver International Airport and ferries to Vancouver Island.
Steps to the waterfront promenade and pier with lots of local eateries. Golf, wineries, and loads of shopping minutes away.
Vancouver, just 35 minutes away.
Transit just steps away.
