Meet the owners of the Hostel Sharon & Dan
We moved here from Vancouver Island to be closer to family.
We decided to open our house up to the budget travellers.We started
almost right away to look for the perfect place.It took us about 3
months to find this place.It was winter when we moved in.We wanted
to be open by June so we had allot of work to do for this to happen.

Now for the inside
Now being an old home with no foundation old wiring, painted floors
walls and ceilings cracking Etc even had to get a front end loader to
remove an old safe that was left behind.It was way too heavy to move.
We weren't even sure were to begin .It seemed like a nightmare but we
were determined to make this place into something great.A place were
travellers could rest their heads and feel like they were at home at the
same time.I think we achieved this very well.
