We had a nice stay at the Hobbit House. Nancy was a wonderful host- very easy to communicate with, and so welcoming of myself, my three friends, and my dog. The place is a functional spot- works just fine as a base camp and had everything we needed/expected. The home itself was a bit damp/humid- totally fine, but just something we noticed. Great value, and the hot breakfast included was such a lovely touch! Thanks for a lovely stay on Gabriola!

Relaxing stay at The Hobbit

We used The Hobbit as our base for a three night trip for Gabriola. Clean, comfortable and well hosted by an available but privacy-respecting couple (Nancy and Gregory), we really enjoyed out stay. Breakfasts were a nice touch and were well tailored to our considerable dietary needs. Would absolutely stay again.

We had such a lovely stay here. It was very tranquil peaceful and the hosts were just spectacular. All the little details that these guys add make such a big difference and let me tell you that breakfast that they make, is absolutely delicious. We took our infant, who is only nine months old and our puppy, and they made a little puppy plate and a little plate for our boy. We had such a lovely day and created some fantastic memories and hope to be back. We cannot thank these hosts enough.
Breakfast was delicious
