About this property

Bella Haven ("beautiful refuge") is a favourite getaway for many Saturna visitors.
A bright and airy beach house set on a picturesque half-acre, adjacent to our home.
Overlooking Lyall Harbour, you will have front row seats to spectacular summer sunsets and the ever-changing vista year-round.

It's perfect for one or two people looking to experience the uniqueness of Saturna Island and the beauty of the seasons in the Southern Gulf Islands.

We have sought to equip Bella Haven to a high standard and to anticipate your needs for a memorable stay. The open-plan living space, and the many windows, provide a feeling of spaciousness and light.

* We must mention our big friendly pooches, Dudley and Angus!
They will greet you from the other side of the fence, but have no access to your patio or living space.

Our beautiful and peaceful setting lends itself to relaxation, but is also a perfect home-base for:
- photographers
- hikers
- cyclists
- nature lovers
- star gazers
- scuba divers
- kayakers
- writers
- artists
-beachcombers
....and dreamers

Nearly 50% of Saturna Island is protected by the Gulf Islands National Park. Additional parks bring the total of protected areas close to 70%.
There are breathtaking views and vast areas to explore.
As well, Saturna is one of the premiere land-based whale watching locations in the Gulf Islands.

Saturna is an island of extraordinary, unspoiled beauty.
Make "Bella Haven" YOUR Gulf Island Getaway.... Treat yourself!

stunning location, roomy fully equipped cottage

First time to Saturna Island and it did not disappoint. This home was the ideal choice for us as a base to explore this unique gem of the Gulf Islands. The island is quiet and a bit isolated and that makes it pretty relaxing and special. Highly recommend this home to rent.

So quiet that our ears were ringing. Walked all over the island without any stress knowing there are no cougars or bears. Highly recommend, would definitely go back. The views of the sunset going down over the harbour are insane.

Luxury getaway on Saturna Island

Bella Haven surpassed expectations (and we are picky). The owners thought of every detail - from gorgeous design, all new and stylish appliances, utensils, cookware and dishes, heated bathroom floor, full sized fidge, dishwasher and comfortable king sized bed...and everything is imaculately clean and well maintained. The unit comes with its own patio, full BBQ, quality Adirondack chairs and the best sunset views on the island. Hosts Rob and Sue are so helpful and friendly. A number of locals said this is the best place to stay on the island and we agree. We will be back!

Beautiful place with an amazing view!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Bella Haven and highly recommend it to others. The accommodations had everything we needed, was very comfortable and well-supplied. Beautiful outdoor areas with the patio and surrounding garden, and the seating area out by the water. The location is amazing being right on the water with great sunset views, it was a perfect place to launch our kayak from. Sue, Rob, Dudley and Angus were all super-friendly and a pleasure to meet. We hope to come back again in the future!

A Home Away From Home!

Staying at Bella Haven on Saturna was wonderful! Both the accommodation and attention to detail was excellent. It is a clean, well equipped, organized cozy cottage with a great view over looking Lyall Harbour. Our hosts, Sue and Rob were welcoming, friendly, generous and very easy to communicate with. Without a doubt we will be returning to Bella Haven. Definitely a 5 star*❣️Joanne & Richard

About the host

Hosted by Sue and Rob Kendall

In the summer of 2007 we were sailing past Saturna and decided to go ashore to see what properties might be for sale. When we saw this view we were smitten. The rest is history, as they say. We are lucky and grateful to call Saturna home.

Major renovations were lovingly undertaken. The re-build took several years, as Rob did most of the work himself.
Fun Fact: Rob built the cabinets and countertops in the beach house out of old church pews!

We enjoy sailing, our dogs and our grandchildren. (not in that order!).
Rob has become an accomplished wood turner in his retirement and has produced many beautiful pieces. Sue enjoys music and photography.

Over the years we've had family and friends stay in the beach house. They always sleep past their regular wake-up time because it's so quiet and the bed is so comfy.

Passers-by on the street always comment on the property and the view.
People come to our beach specially to watch the breathtaking summer sunsets.

We look forward to welcoming you and will always be available for anything you may need.
Please reach out if you have any questions or special requirements.

Thanks for viewing our listing.... We hope to see you at Bella Haven soon!
