The Wisteria Guest House is a little bed and breakfast run by Len, Beverly and Kimoko Brown, located at 268 Park Drive on Salt Spring Island BC. Phone 250-537-5899. What an enjoyable stay we had. The atmosphere is very relaxed and informal and the house is on an acre of gardens-quite delightful especially in the sun. We woke up the... More

So many people forget how lovely simplicity can be and on Salt Spring you are on Island time. Wisteria Guest house and its owners Len and Beverly are generous and kind people. They have a lovely home that they have opened for others to share. This is a place to come and relax with no frills and no fuss. Their... More

Overall Salt Spring is highly overpriced so this was mid range. We stayed in Studio #2 and it was well equipped but quite cramped. It was clean and the basics were there but for the price there was nothing special about it. The bed was VERY soft. Don't plan to sleep in since one wall has a row of glass... More

My friend and I recently stayed here for two nights and I have mixed feelings about the place. The grounds and gardens are lovely with many fruit trees from which people are welcome to pick whatever they want. When we arrived, there were people on deck chairs reading in the sunny/shady peace of the gardens and that gave the place... More

I booked a room for by brother and his bride at the Wisteria as part of their honeymoon trip. I gave my credit card details, my email address and phone number, and my brother's email address and phone number. Unfortunately a couple of weeks later a hacker attacked my email account, changed the security information so that I had no... More

This review is not entirely correct nor did the person even stay at the Wisteria. She did make an on-line reservation for her brother and gave his e-mail address for confirmation. The hacker said that her credit cards were stolen and asked for a loan. I replied to both e-mail addresses declining the loan and asking for further confirmation. I... More

Wonderful mix of decor leaves a very comfortable feel. Personal touches like a garden party birthday, complete with home made cake and ice cream made this b&b the highlight of our trip. Food was excellent, gardens were in bloom, bed was comfortable, and the hospitality was warm and genuine. Everything we wanted from our stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a very pleasant stay. The breakfast were very good and delicious. I don't agree with the other comments about the breakfast because they were so few but in my opinion, the worst critics are the one's who don't cook themselves! Beverly and Len are the best host you can find - very... More

This is a very quaint B&B that reflects the feeling of the island. Yes, it is shabby, but the entire island is shabby (although anywhere else you would get the room itself for about $90 a night). While I liked the Wisteria quite a bit, it kind of sucks to pay a lot for a room that is pretty worn... More

As we slowly coasted up the driveway to Wisteria, we knew instantly we had chosen the right place for a two-day getaway. And boy were we right! Beverly came to greeted us at our car, and in no time at all, we were shown to our cottage (soft light on, fan whirring - very welcoming!), given a tour of the... More

The hospitality was the best, the food amazing, the cottage was romantic and our hosts Len and Beverly went above and beyond the call of duty. Looking forward to staying there again. Our dogs really enjoyed their salmon jerky treats!!
