On the occasion of our Dad's 90th birthday celebration, Kelly, Maggie and the stellar team at the Harbour House really went above and beyond to make sure our family and friends had the ideal venue, fabulous food and amazing cake to mark this special day:-) Kudos and thank you Team Harbour House! -Ian & Lindsay Tarasoff read more

This hotel was very clean and modern. The staff was super friendly. We had a large deck with lounge chairs off of our room, which overlooked the harbour and it was so relaxing. The only downside was when we went to make coffee in our room, all that was there was flavoured coffee, which we aren't into. Otherwise everything else was perfect. I would definitely want to stay here again. read more

Such a great place to stay! I have stayed here a few times now and have been really impressed every time. The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean and bright, and even the cheaper rooms have an amazing view of the harbour. The hotel is very quiet, but is only 5 minutes walk from downtown Ganges. It even has a yoga studio in the ground floor! I haven't checked it out yet, but I plan to the next time I'm there. Across the street is kayak rentals and a good bakery. You can bring your dog to the hotel, and the dog-friendly rooms have a big green lawn in front which is very useful for late night doggie bathroom breaks. The best part though has to be the farm in the back of the hotel. There are all kinds of berries and veggies and some pet goats, and if you want to go visit, the staff will let you in and show you the things that are going to be on that day's menu! Incredible. And the food in the restaurant is extra delicious when you've seen the ingredients growing just up the hill from the kitchen :) read more

We have been staying at the Harbour House for many years when visiting the island on the Lions International Christmas Ship. They have always been very accommodating and comfortable but we were very impressed on our last trip several weeks ago. The makeover completed after new management took over was comprehensive. Very modern. Our room was very comfortable and the bed was fantastic. Management was aware that we would be coming in a little late and they were kind enough to keep the kitchen and bar open late. Highly recommend you stay here if visiting the island. read more

Wanted decent accommodation that was also pet-friendly so was happy to find a place like this with a view. Pictures of the rooms online are pretty accurate, except the pet-friendly rooms aren't quite as nice, had a pull-out couch (instead of two doubles) and mostly flouro lighting but of course you have to pay more, $20/pet. Was bit of a rub at $180 for the night. Staff was pleasant (though not super thorough) and on the upside it was really nice to have a big green space for him to play in, the organic farm is a nice touch and the food at the resto - candied salmon benny - was terrific. read more

Room 104 had a patio with a fireplace that was warm enough in late december to sit out in front of and watch the sun rise over ganges harbour. The Jacuzzi came with a locally produced bath bomb, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful, offering to drive us to the ferries in the hotel's shuttle "Van Goat". Definitely take a deluxe room on the east side for the best view of the harbour. We had three meals in the restaurant and they were all amazing, with winter greens from their organic farm including some phenomenal endive. read more

Our bathroom was a bit basic, seems circa 1980, as was the HVAC. But everything worked fine and we had no problems. The bar/restaurant was a welcome place to unwind at the end of the day. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again next time we're on the island. read more

We stayed at the hotel for two nights over the labor day long weekend. We booked a harbor view room. All though the location of the hotel is great and the view from the balcony was great a few things bothered me. For the price of the room (170/night) I expect a few things with respect to the room, the furniture and room was somewhat dated, the tv was small and old, and the patio furniture on the deck was of poor quality plastic furniture. It could be a great hotel of they spent a bit of money on some small items. read more

We checked in on Friday morning, check out on Sunday (Valentine's weekend) and we didn't have a shower and had to use the sink for 3 days! There was no hot water coming out of the shower and sometimes no water at all! We politely complained about it twice a day as they didn't seem to care to update us on the situation. Nothing was done! One of the receptionist even came up with a pretty lame excuse: "Maybe everyone is using the showers in the hotel at the same time..." We stayed on much smaller islands before and we never had water problems like this. When we left, we had to negotiate for 20 minutes to only get %15 off our bill. Needless to say they have no sense of customer service there. When you charge $150 per night, the least you expect is ti have a comfy bed (and it was) and a shower... As for the rest of the hotel, it is outdated. We only tried the restaurant for brunch, the food was good but the service very slow. So we ended cancelling our dinner reservation and dined somewhere else. I loved Salt Springs and I will go back for sure but I'll stay in another hotel! read more

Well, let me first say that the bed was comfy and clean, and the pillows fluffy. The location was quiet. The hotel itself was pretty basic. It has institutional grey/green walls, threadbare towels, mass-produced wall art in the rooms, (pretty lame, considering it is Salt Spring which has about a zillion artists) and the restaurant is currently closed. There was no fridge or microwave in the rooms, nor complimentary tea, although there was coffee, which I don't drink, so I don't know if it is any good. The shower did not work very well, with pressure problems and temperature fluctuations. Aside from the problems, the staff were nice to chat with. I would say it was worth the groupon price I paid, but I am not sure it would be worth more than that unless and until it gets a facelift. read more

Best poutine and the freshest ingredients. They grow everything they make onsite and have a great group of servers and bartenders to chat with. Feel at home is an understatement even with a bit of a fancier dining room. read more

Get an ocean view room! We did not and we regret that. The ocean rooms not only have a gorgeous view, they get cool air (the back rooms do not and have no air conditioning units). The rooms are small but reasonably appointed. The restaurant downstairs is a little pricey but the food is ok. The restaurant service was quite poor the night we tried it. The farm grounds are lovely, and locked indoor bike storage was a big plus for us. Location and proximity to Ganges is really excellent, too! read more

Very courteous staff. Restaurant is filled w locals. Always a good sign. Dinner was very good, especially the seafood dishes. Rooms are adequate and could use an update w flat screen HDTVs. However, the beauty of the area more than compensates for the 90s tech. Overall happy w the accommodation. Staff is willing to go the extra mile. Nice to see these days. read more

I loved staying at this hotel!!! The location was great for wandering into town and there is a little pub across the street. The staff were great and so accommodating. The price was reasonable and they were very understanding about travelling with kids. The restaurant attached (Woodleys) was great to grab breakfast and a drink at, but we didn't have dinner or lunch there so I can't say much more. All around, I was very pleasantly surprised with my stay. read more

Solid place to stay on the island, or have relatives stay if visiting you. Ask for one of the 'newer rooms'. Older rooms are very basic and dumpy. New rooms are very nicely appointed, and if you pay a bit more you'll get a deck with a fireplace and a room with a jacuzzi tub. I highly recommend treating yourself to that (views, too!). I've stayed 10+ times and keep going back when needed. The staff are nice and knowledgeable, the food is fine although they don't do room service so you have to go down and grab it from the restaurant yourself. Great location and an easy walk from downtown if you don't have a car. Directly across from Moby's, a fun pub on the water. read more

Deluxe rooms are amazing, lots of beautiful little touches like salt spring island soap! Great organic farm, wonderful eggs benny and great customer service. Be sure to get the Deluxe rooms either 103 or 104. read more

Terrible rooms for those with pets and highly over charged. Battered walls, dumpy furniture, not overly clean, no Wifi although supposed to be included. Total rip off as my son stayed in one of the newer rooms for 225 and we paid 200 plus a 20 pet deposit for essentially what is a 60 a night flop house. Worse place I have ever stayed. Compare to Laurel House in Victoria with amazing pet friendly rooms. Most disappointed for a pet friendly island. We were here for a sons wedding so a big let down. If I could give 0 stars I would, carpet is even dirty read more

Fantastic! Delicious food, great service, a nice big patio over looking the ocean, and within walking distance from the market area in Ganges. I had the pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon with an apple reduction and gravy, served with mashed potatoes and veggies. The food was so fresh and well prepared, simply an amazing meal. My wife had a peanut butter based veggie rice bowl, loaded with fresh sprouts and she absolutely loved it. Skip the tourist traps and hit up this gem of a restaurant! read more

This hotel is full over a bug called silverfish which when I called front desk to complain they said they were aware of it and its an old hotel! We tried to go to sleep and the mattress frame is broken so it collapses on the one side. There is no elevator here lots of stairs. The room is not very clean and looks nothing like the pictures. The carpet is gross and needs to be replaced. No coffee in the room, ancient tvs, outdated electrical. We will be asking for a refund today to hard to move last night with our 7 month old baby. This was supposed to be our first holiday in a very long time very dissapointing! read more

I came to visit family on the island signed into my room paid up front in cash, I received a phone call 20 minutes after check regarding a family emergency off island. I informed the front desk of the situation after packing my things, They then informed me there would be no refund for the 20 minutes I sat in the room I would not recommend this place to anyone who has morales, policy or no policy there is an extreme lack of humanity here, I am not upset about money, money is replacable but the lack of care in such a small community I grew up in is disgusting read more
