Drinks & Nightlife
it's a wonderful place to meet people and hang out. They don't serve food but you can bring food in. The brewery has tours, and many beer/cider/kombucha on tap! Thursday is their cask night and draws a larger crowd.

Sightseeing
A fantastic day trip in nice weather. Easy to do in an afternoon and the ferry goes several times a day. Visit the Quarries for a turquoise water swim. Shelter Point and Blubber Bay are lovely.

Nancy's Bakery has great cinnamon buns, Pollen Sweaters has beautiful merino wool sweaters (we have several) and there is a couple of restaurants, a nice walk and the water taxi to Savary Island. Well worth the day trip- about 30 minutes by car from the suite.
