Before your stay, we'd like to let you know about two temporary changes due to the summer drought and the Province-wide fire ban. Water conservation: Like many Gulf Islands, Denman experiences seasonal water shortages during the summer. As our property is supplied by a small community well shared with neighbouring homes, we have suspended use of the outdoor hot tubs and cold plunges during the dry season to help protect this shared resource. Please be assured that your accommodation will not be affected. We have a large holding tank that can be replenished by water tanker if required, so there is no risk of your suite running out of water. As an alternative: We're pleased to offer complimentary use of our medical-grade infrared sauna (normally $95 per session unless included in a retreat) throughout your stay. Fire ban: The Province-wide fire ban is back on, at least for the time being, which means that the beach fire pit cannot be used. That could change, but for now we cannot take bookings for that facility. Everything else remains exactly as planned: Your accommodation, the saunas, the peaceful setting, gardens, wildlife, walking opportunities, and all other amenities will be ready for you to enjoy. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us protect the natural resources that make Denman Island such a special place. We look forward to welcoming you to Manna House! |
Private Parking & EV Charging
|
There is ample private off-road parking for guests' vehicles, even with a trailer, with room for up to 10 cars at a pinch!
A reserved EV charging station is available to guests with electric/hybrid vehicles free-of-charge. It's a 110v outlet, so please bring your converter. 
Solar lighting around the parking area and to the entrance of each unit ensures that guests can see their way at night. There are no street lights so a cloudy night can be very dark, which is a small price to pay for amazing star-gazing on a clear night!

EV Charging is free to guests ↕

Wi-Fi
Our excellent (free) internet service is fiber-optic, giving us "city speeds", easily sufficient for multiple guests to do Zoom calls at the same time.
Seamless Wi-Fi throughout the property utilizes the latest technology available to minimize the amount and effects of EMR.
Provided by CityWest, it's part of a government initiative to connect all of the Salish Sea coastal and island communities, which has it's roots in the response to the Covid "crisis", when working from home became the new normal.
If you are away for a few days and need some laundry done, Only organic, environmentally sensitive and hypoallergenic products are used.
If you would like your room to be given a "surface cleaning" (vacuum, dust and wipe) during your stay, please give us at least 24 hours notice.

If you prefer not to bring or hire a car, we are here to help. Planning a trip to a remote island can seem a bit daunting, so let us do the heavy lifting... We can arrange for Ambassador Transport to pick you up and drop you off at Buckley Bay ferry terminal, followed by a 10 minute ride on the world's longest cable ferry! Once on Denman soil, you'll either catch the Denman Island Bus which will drop you off at the bottom of our driveway, or someone will pick you up.
