Join us on Cortes Island on Canada's spectacular inner west coast. If you haven't visited Cortes Island before, you are in for a treat. Returning visitors know all about our extensive beaches, great hikes, fresh oysters, fabulous views of Georgia Strait and mainland mountains, and other island highlights! Discover it all with artists Dianne Bersea and Jodi Forster.

Bring your palette and brushes, art equipment of choice, or we can supply an art kit. Our art Retreat package includes everything for a marvelous private or group creative vacation -- ideal accommodation, art classes or access to studio space for your own projects, with inspiring opportunities to visit other Cortes Island artists and artisans or..., book an island spa treatment.

With organic breakfast fixings provided whip up a healthy morning meal in the B & B kitchen, cook other meals at your leisure, or call for a special catered meal by one of our gourmet Island caterers.
