We've been visiting this place for 20 years. It is friendly, homely and blissfully relaxed. The staff -- more like friends really -- are unobtrusively helpful and down-to-earth. Galiano is a beautiful and laid-back place. It's not trendy, just friendly, intelligent and slightly eccentric. I hope it stays that way.

We booked 2 cottages at driftwood for a thanksgiving weekend stay. Getting to driftwood from the ferry was easy enough, a pleasent 20 min walk. The cottages are lovely and peaceful. All the cotttages are situated such that each has its own privacy..yet are not too far away from each other as this was important especially as we travelled as... More

We booked eight out of ten cabins for our wedding party and we and some family and friends stayed at Driftwood-some for the weekend some up to week or so. Shelley the manager was super helpful with every request and welcoming and relaxed with everyone- party included family members and friends of all ages, several gay couples and even a... More

Was exactly what I was looking for...my own cabin on a beautiful quiet island, in the woods, with an ocean view, clean, cozy & comfy... everyone on staff went out of their way to make me feel at home. Bring your own tea & coffee and settle in west coast style!

In just a short night and day I got to do a whole vacation's worth of relaxing...gazing out the window at the... More

Our favourite cottage is the Arbutus, which is self-contained and allows us to see the trees as well as Active Pass. We made our healthy... More

We just got back from staying at Driftwood Village where we hosted our daughter and new son-in-law's fabulous wedding. We held a 100-person reception on the beautiful grounds under a tent and family and close friends occupied all 10 cabins for 3 magical days. As we prepared our feast in the well-appointed cabins, sounds of laughter echoed across the lawns... More

My husband and I have been coming to the Driftwood now for over 10 years. We adore this place and all of it's rustic beauty. We recently were married on Galiano and booked all of our family including us with our two children in the cabins. Everyone loved it here! There was privacy, the cottages were cozy and clean, and...
