Ask a questionAbout Shelley or Jan Nielsen
We love to travel: whether a road trip, camping/canoeing trip; trips by air or on the water in our classic wooden boat. And as travelers, we love the ease of staying in others homes/apartments. It offers a warmer, more personal and local experience. We invite you to experience the Wild West Coast of Vancouver Island (Port Renfrew) and warmly welcome you to Bjørn Holm. We appreciate a thoughtfully equipped property with hosts who understand travelers’ needs. Let us provide this for you. As first time hosts, Jan and I have put our passion for details and wood into our home and hope you will enjoy Bjørn Holm and Port Renfrew as much as we do. Good weather; lots of wildlife sightings; fabulous scenery. My husband (born in Denmark) and I (born in British Columbia) have lived and worked together for 40+ years selling custom, quality lumber and wood flooring at West Wind Hardwood Inc; located in Sidney (Vancouver Island), BC, Canada. We have two adult girls. One lives locally and the other lives far, far away in Broome, Western Australia. Our bucket-list is still full of adventures yet to be lived.
Why Shelley or Jan Nielsen chose Port Renfrew
Why not? I've been driving up here; first with my parents and later with my husband/family since 1966. It has the feel of Ucluelet/Tofino in the late 70's; long before it was discovered; still wild and woolly. Our home was finished with heart and soul and a dash of Danish 'hygge'. Every time we open the front door and look out across the water, we feel a sense of 'wow' wash over us. It is this feeling we hope to share with you.
What makes this House unique
Port Renfrew is the gateway to ancient forests, epic hikes, and mighty surf – to eagle and the salmon and Sitka spruce. From here, you can trek, paddle, comb the beaches or cast your line. Frommer’s describes Vancouver Island as “a mountainous bulwark of deep-green forests, rocky fjords, and wave battered headlands. For an area so easily accessible by car, the range of wildlife here is surprising: Bald eagles float above the shorelines, seals and sea lions slumber on rocky islets, and porpoises and orca whales cavort in narrow passes between islands”. Port Renfrew is on the verge of transition. Visit now.
