Island Thyme Is All About Your Time

Island Thyme B&B is a luxuriously furnished private suite on Bowen Island’s west side in the quiet, friendly community of Bluewater.

Tucked behind an iron gate, the suite rests in a setting of rock gardens, cascading roses, woodland paths and flagstone leading to a plush moss meditation garden and mature forest with stately cedars, dogwoods and arbutus trees.

A stroll through the property offers lovely views of both the gardens and natural woodland along with a postcard-perfect glimpse of ocean and snow-capped mountains.
