Plan your entire trip via public transit.  Sounds crazy, but it's true and easier than you might think!

We will greet you at the Langdale Ferry Terminal to assist with luggage and in 2 minutes you will be relaxing at Arcturus Retreat B&B. Enjoy the stunning views from our spacious deck or while taking a dip in our hot tub and you might not want to leave.

Sunshine Coast Transit stops down the street from Arcturus Retreat B&B.  As a bonus, we will furnish your first bus ticket.  Regular service to Gibsons, Roberts Creek, Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay.  Day passes are available for only $5.50 so you can jump on and off as much as you like.
