salt spring island • farm, gallery and b&b
 

It is feeling rather remarkable that we are in our 8th year of running Salty Pear in its various forms and phases.

We are excited to be rolling out some small upgrades and design changes with the welcoming of our new property manager, Zoë Fox. With her help we are excited to be focusing on our own creative pursuits.


Whether you seek adventure or tranquillity, the Salty Pear, a unique 5-acre property adorned with heritage apple and pear trees, is your perfect home base for an unforgettable getaway. Book your escape today!

We welcome our guests to enjoy picnics in the sunny orchard or strolls to our massive Maple tree at the back of the property. Take advantage of the forest park trails bordering our property. There is a disc golf course, a small bike track, and dog-friendly walking trails.

If we are hosting community events or gallery openings, we'll be sure to let you know and personally invite you to join us.

The DIY wood-burning barrel sauna is bookable to the public during the day. We will provide you with a discount code to book your complimentary sessions.


Salty Pear Studio/Suite & Wood Barrel Sauna

The studio/suite is adjacent to and in the same building as our studio/gallery, designed by in-house residential designer Jorge Siemsen. The suite has heated concrete floors and a Murphy bed. A 10min walk takes you to Ganges along forest paths. Sit on the covered south-facing deck gazing at field and forest. Your stay includes complimentary use of our DIY wood-burning barrel sauna.
