www.saltspringharbourhouse.com
;
121 Upper Ganges Rd, Ganges;
d from $149; )
This smashing rustic-chic hotel with 17 rooms is just up the hill from the
main Ganges action, but it feels like you're staying in a country cottage estate in Eng-
land. The grounds are strewn with locally made artworks and the waterfront views will
have your camera itching to be used. The restaurant is high-end gourmet (breakfast re-
commended).
Tree House Café
CAFE$$$
(
www.treehousecafe.ca
; 106 Purvis Lane, Ganges; mains $10-16)
At this magical outdoor dining
experience in the heart of Ganges you'll sit in the shade of a large plum tree as you
choose from a menu of comfort pastas, Mexican specialties and gourmet burgers and
sandwiches - the tuna melt is a local fave, perhaps washed down with a Salt Spring Ales
porter. Live music every night in summer.
Gathering
FUSION$$$
(115 Fulford Ganges Rd, Ganges; mains $8-16; 11am-midnight Tue-Sun)
Lined with sci-fi art-
works and a wall crammed with loaner board games, this new Ganges hangout is the per-
fect spot to spend a few hours. For food, there's tapas plus larger dishes combining local
ingredients with international influences (think Moroccan spiced duck). Don't miss the
crab-stuffed doughnuts, a menu standout perfect for fueling a leisurely evening of role-
play gaming.

North & South Pender Islands
POP 2200
Once joined by a sandy isthmus, the North and South Penders are far quieter than Salt
Spring and attract those looking for a low-key retreat. With pioneer farms, old-time orch-
ards and almost 40 coves and beaches, the Penders - now linked by a single-lane bridge
- are a good spot for cyclists and hikers. For visitor information check
