  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Mayne Island is a small and beautiful rural island surrounded by the Salish Sea, with a strong community of approx. 1500 people (and twice as many deer!). Our home is walking distance to 5 beaches, stunning inland and coastal forest hikes, and a quiet close knit community. We live simply, guided by the rhythms of the year, centred on home and learning explorations with our family. We work from home in a studio/office on our 1/2 acre property. We have an electric cargo bike available for your use, or community rides (with us or hitchhiking) are the available transport around the island.
