OUR STORY
Welcome to our cozy corner of Fruitvale, where comfort meets countryside charm. Fourteen years ago, we immigrated from South Africa with a dream of building a peaceful life rooted in nature, community, and heartfelt hospitality. Today, that dream lives on in our bed and breakfast—a welcoming retreat nestled in the Kootenays, complete with mountain views, fresh air, and a few friendly chickens in the backyard.
We’ve poured love into every detail of our home, creating spaces that invite relaxation, connection, and a touch of whimsy. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars, enjoying a homemade breakfast, or simply unwinding in one of our thoughtfully named rooms, we hope you’ll feel the warmth of our story and the joy we find in sharing it.
Come as guests, leave as friends—we can't wait to welcome you.

"We stayed at the Bed and Breakfast whilst on evacuation from wild fires in the north. The hosts were exemplary. Made us feel completely at home!We had all amenities at our finger tips ..!! Great to have a washer and dryer so easily at our disposal and the hot tub was a special bonus!!
The area is spectacularly beautiful with many trails , lakes and fresh beauty of the Kootenays.
I will definitely find my way to visit and stay there again!
This B & B comes highly recommended!!!"
