Experience the pleasure of a relaxing soak in our big outdoor hot tub. It is the perfect spot for sunset watching, stargazing, and taking in the beauty of the Georgia Strait. We truly doubt there is a prettier spot at any Vancouver Island bed and breakfast.
Lots of room for six with seats at varying depths, including one side designed as a lounge chair. The tub is state of the art and offers two sets of jets for strong or gentle whirlpool action and various settings for neck and back massage.

Dale Presly – BIO
Growing up in a prairie city Dale was drawn to the west coast from an early age. It wasn’t until he dropped out of high school and moved to Vancouver Island that he discovered that the romance of the ocean would awaken other passions. He soon found an outlet for his creative side working first as a potter and then a sculptor. This led back to school to study art and ultimately to university where he graduated with a BSc. After some years in the field of adult education Dale wanted to explore a long time interest in health and healing. As a student of Tai Chi and acupuncture he is aware how the body stores and moves energy. As a sculptor in clay he has a tactile sense of how energy occupies form. Dale combines both these skills for clients desiring the energy healing offered by Reconnective Healing and the deep relaxation of Esalen Massage.
Reconnective Healing is often a life-changing experience, utilizing new frequencies to allow for the healing of body, mind and spirit. Reconnective Healing is beyond any technique you’ve ever encountered.
As the client relaxes and the mind calms, a connection opens to the non-physical realms allowing the natural tendency of the body to return to the state of balance we call health.
These highly palpable energies are initiated by your Reconnective Healing Practitioner™ at the start of your session, and continue working with you long after your visit has ended. Through your participation in these sessions, you will be forever changed, operating at and attuned to, a higher frequency than ever before.
Esalen Massage
Esalen massage combines the classical techniques of Swedish massage, with strokes specifically designed to target the muscles and the circulatory system. However, Esalen massage has less to do with technique than it does with touch. In fact, the effectiveness of an Esalen massage greatly depends on the practitioner’s intuitive connection with their client.
Esalen tissue work differs from Swedish massage in its philosophical approach. Esalen massage practitioners are expected to be able to intuitively tap into their client’s physical and non-physical clues and identify blockages in the body without the client having to verbally express it.
The techniques of Esalen massage consist of long sweeping strokes, combined with an intense connection between the therapist and client that Esalen practitioners often compare to a moving meditation. An Esalen massage may also consist of periods when the practitioner rocks the client’s body, or stretches particular muscle groups. It can also include passive manipulation in order to move a joint through its full range of motion, and a practitioner may also sculpt the deep tissues, particularly the extremities and torso, followed by pauses for integration. The entire Esalen process is meant to encourage total body awareness and relaxation.
