​

A:  Just let us know what your arrival time is expected to be and your flight number and we will track it - and wait for you to arrive.

​

Q:  Is there a restaurant at this B&B near Sidney?

​

Q:  I am planning to come to Belle Maison B&B via Swartz Bay ferry from Vancouver.   How do I get from the ferry to the B&B?

A:  After unloading, the traffic is sent down the highway where you will pull off at the Wain Road overpass.  Follow it across the highway and around and turn up toward the ferry (a giant U-turn).  You will see Lands End Road exit on the right.  Take it over the bridge and follow about 2.5 km to Belle Maison B&B Sidney.
