Gambier

Gambier Island is old world living……..very few cars, one little general store and a slow island pace which is perfectly suited to those wanting a tranquil, restful holiday experience.

Our property is situated on the water, with beautiful views over West Bay. The temperate climate of Howe Sound and the design of our home allows Ramus Residence to be a year-round retreat. In Spring and Summer you can watch the boats sail by, while you lounge in the sun, swim at the beaches or explore the forest trails. The colder months are perfect for cozying up to our wood fire and reading or writing while watching the seasons change from any one of our ‘zen views’.
