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.

Gabriola getaway

Fantastic location, close to everything and a nice quiet area for walking. The Hobbit had everything we needed and was comfy and so quiet! We really appreciated that dogs are welcome. Gregory, Nancy, Surfer and Tiki are perfect hosts! And the breakfasts......ooooh the breakfasts! : ) We can't wait to stay again.

Best Breakfasts!

We loved our stay at the Hobbit Cottage on Canopy Ridge and our visit to Gabriola Island. Our hosts, Nancy and Gregory greeted us each morning with the most amazing breakfasts and provided many great options for beach and hiking in the area. The cottage is well equipped with cooking appliances and an adjacent patio and bbq area also added to dining in options. Thank you both for your hospitality!
