Helen is a wonderful host, very friendly and accommodating. The only thing we wish she had provided was an extra arm chair. There was one very comfy one but if there are 2 people who want to read and relax in the evening one will have to sit on the bed or on the dining chair.

Quiet & Beautiful Island Home

My chi& I arrived to visit friends who live nearby on Bowen. Upon arrival I found a handwritten book with all information necessary for Bowen Island (BI)! I saw bumper stickers with “BI” assuming lots of bisexuals lived on the Island!! The suite is one big room with a queen size comfortable bed & I slept very well. The kitchen runs along one side of the room and Helen had thoughtfully left a small basket of snacks plus all the basics needed in a kitchen. A big glass bottle of cold water in the fridge!! For it! The bathroom is beautifully done with stone walls. Good water pressure & temperature in the shower. There’s a large TV opposite the bed and beneath is the small table (where the book was found) with two chairs. Theres wireless access (which worked great for me). Opposite the kitchen a large window looks out onto a beautiful garden with flowers, trees and a sitting area - although this area is not available to guests. This is where I drop a star. It would have been great to have somewhere to sit outside. The guest parking is not very accessible, I walk with a cane and found it didn’t matter if I drove in or backed in the beautiful trees were difficult to manoeuvre around. I think able bodied people would even struggle around them. Opening doors its necessary to duck while walking & trying to carry or access my van and not damage the trees. There’s also a rock drive/walk way and a few stairs. However, I’d recommend Helena’s for 1 or 2 plus a small dog. 💚

Hi Thankyou for the lovely review. I am sorry you found the parking difficult with your cane. I definately could have helped you load and unload. Also, the yard is available to guests . If you asked me I would have ensured my dogs came inside when you wanted to sit and enjoy the flowers. Hope you will return and we can make it right 👍 Kind regards Helen

Helen’s place was perfect for our two night stay in Bowen. It has a small kitchen area that was exactly what we needed to prepare our meals.The washroom was wonderful with heated floors.We enjoyed some time in Helen’s peaceful garden.Definitely recommend staying here.

Helen was very responsive and helpful in her communication. Her place is spacious for a garden suite, and has everything you need for a few days on Bowen. She added some thoughtful extra touches, which we greatly appreciated including the coffee, snacks and beach towels. As it is a garden suite, worth bringing ear plugs for sleeping in as an expected amount of noise travels down from above.
