Our Home

Love
In 1956 a young family settled, a new life far from the farm in Ontario, a new beginning on a stunning Island. A house was raised, fruit trees planted and gardens cultivated. A farm was built and a family flourished, nourished from the fertile land and the towering forest.

Love
The years have passed. Love has sown the daily seeds and this enchanted land blossoms in such subtle beauty. Each day, each week, each month, the forest and garden burst with such unique changes. Eye candy!

Love
July 2009 was the change, family renovating the homestead. The foundations flourished and from them grew WURHERE B&B. Six years in the planning, two years of quality building and a new life for this family land.

Love
Share the moments, share the days, share the love! Join us to enjoy a unique Bed and Breakfast on this enchanted acreage.

Off season adventures at WurHere B&B

The off season is a unique time to visit WurHere Bed and Breakfast. The weather can be so beautiful, so exciting. Yes, there is rain and wind and nature can show its extreme beauty. It is this wildness that bears such excitement. To watch the trees dancing in the wind, the sensational sounds of the wind rushing through the forest or roaring on the ocean and shore is an experience that is so intriguing and rewarding.

Thus the fall, winter and early spring are filled with such wonderful adventures which can be enjoyed by the many walking trails and the privacy of your private cabin and covered deck. This is a private time to share adventurous moments with your partner. These are those self moments when you can be alone and away from the hurried place of life.

The days may be shorter but the clarity of the winter ocean and the openness of the off season forests invite exploration. Dress warm and wear hiking foot wear. The experiences on Gabriola are so unique. The weather can be mild and gentle or wild and exotic. WurHere B&B is located in a mature forest with the ocean and marinas just steps away. Tofino Air can deliver you to Silva Bay which is just a short walk away and we can pick you up or cross on the Gabriola ferry and we can pick you up at the ferry dock.

There are many activities to enjoy in the off season. There are the social events with plays and musical performances as well as the boating, kayaking, fishing, and prawning.

Live the challenge, experience the wonderful difference an off season romantic adventure offers, while enjoying the luxury you deserve.
