OUR STORY
Welcome to our cozy corner of Fruitvale, where comfort meets countryside charm. Fourteen years ago, we immigrated from South Africa with a dream of building a peaceful life rooted in nature, community, and heartfelt hospitality. Today, that dream lives on in our bed and breakfast—a welcoming retreat nestled in the Kootenays, complete with mountain views, fresh air, a relaxing hot tub, and a few friendly chickens in the backyard.
We’ve poured love into every detail of our home, creating spaces that invite relaxation, connection, and a touch of whimsy. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars or simply unwinding in one of our thoughtfully named rooms, we hope you’ll feel the warmth of our story and the joy we find in sharing it.
Enjoy working out with our gym equipment, featuring a Fit505 Functional Trainer, exercise bands, dumbbells, treadmill, mini trampoline, and boxing bag or if you are more musical, tap away at our grand piano.
The kitchen is kitted out with a toaster oven, microwave, hot plate, fridge and, freezer. A great opportunity to stock up on food or do some cooking.
We are located within a half-hour's drive from the major ski hills in the area, such as Red Mountain, Salmo, and Whiteriver in Nelson. This also means we are close to all the buzz and incredible restaurants featured in Nelson.
If you are into hiking trails, you can literally go for a hike in the forest next our property or drive a short distance to some beautiful trails.
The Trail Airport is a 15-minute drive away, and Castlegar Airport is about 30 minutes away.
Come as guests, leave as friends—we can't wait to welcome you.
