A magical seaside retreat once reserved for royalty!
Sheltered by the coastal forest & Strait of Georgia on the East Coast of Vancouver Island, this tranquil woodland garden estate rejuvenates the soul.
Stroll through the tranquility of 60 acres of old growth forest to the 10 acres of woodland garden with its rhododendron-lined glades carpeted with cyclamen, trillium and other indigenous plants.
Experience the artist?s garden surrounding historic Milner House situated atop an oceanside bluff with magnificent coastal views. Savour the spectacular tree-framed panorama of Georgia Strait dotted with islands and a backdrop of distant coastal mountains.
