Cufra Cliffs Cottage

Cufra Cliffs "Cottage" is a private self-contained guest wing that shares a deck garden with the main house while also having its own private balcony. The cottage is open-plan, with the living area, dining area, and kitchenette forming the main room. The floor and trim were made with wood cut from the property.

Living Room

The living room has a woodstove as well as electric heat from a mini-split, which also provides air conditioning in summer. If needed, the couch is a double-sized hide-a-bed. The couch bed has a thin mattress suitable for children; if adults are to use it, a supplemental foam slab is needed.

Dining Area & Kitchenette

The dining area is set in a nest of windows looking west from the north end of Thetis Island toward the hills and mountains of Vancouver Island. The sunsets are magnificent.

The kitchenette includes everything except a kitchen stove: under-counter fridge, hot plate, barbecue on the deck, microwave and toaster ovens, electric kettle, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery.

Hot Tub

One of the attractions of this delightful spot is the hot tub built near the edge of the cliff, where guests can relax in the midst of heart-catching natural beauty.

Swimming Pool

The Gulf Islands have a Mediterranean-type climate, and summers can be hot and dry. The above-ground swimming pool offers a place to relax on hot days when the tide is not convenient for swimming in the sea.

The pool also provides a reservoir of water during fire season. The house and decks have an outdoor sprinkler system linked to the pool so the complex can be kept damp and cool if fire is nearby.

Deck Garden

British Columbia is well known as a gardener's paradise. The deck garden provides colour through the growing season and attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and other wildlife.
