Can I check-in early or drop off my bags?

Please contact us at least 24 hours in advance, and we will let you know if we can have your room ready early. You will also receive an automated email 1 day before your arrival asking for your check-in time - this will be a good opportunity to make your request:) If your room isn't ready, you can most likely drop off your bags and complete registration/payment so you're all set for later.

Can I check-in late?

Yes, with prior notification.

On my departure day, can I leave my bags and pick up later?

Yes. Let us know and we'll show you a spot in our lounge where you can leave your bags and pick up later the same day. We will not be locking away your bags so this is at your own discretion. Please note, that when you return your room INCLUDING the bathroom will not be available to you, and we do not have public restrooms - so plan accordingly;)

On my departure day, can I leave my car and pick up later?

Yes, for pick-up later the same day.

Do I need a car on Salt Spring?

Though you can get around without a car (via walking/public bus/taxi), having a car makes it a lot easier for sighseeing around the island and outside of Ganges. If you do choose to come without a car, Ganges Village & Marina is only a 10 minute walk and has lots of restaurant options and shops to explore. We also have 2 grocery stores within walking distance. The BC Transit bus stops in front of the Tourist Centre in Ganges, which is again only a 10 minute walk. You can also rent a car, scooter or bicycle on this island. There is 1 taxi service on island (however they tend to be pricey).
