The Hummingbird Backpackers B&B (Bed 4)
Come join us in our high-end, backpackers style accommodation on beautiful Salt Spring Island. You'll stay in a comfortable single bunk bed in a co-ed dorm room, and have access to all the beauty the island offers. We are a 5 min drive to Ganges, on the bus route and walking distance to 2 lakes and a nature reserve. We have a modern living space with plenty of room to cook and mingle. There is also a large outdoor area for enjoying the garden and fresh air as well as a yoga platform in the woods. For more than one guest, please book the individual listings we have on VRBO. We have 4 of them and each listing is for an individual bed in the dorm room. If you'd like to book the whole room with 4 beds there is also a listing you can book for that. Just look at the title of the listing and you will see if it's for an individual bed or the whole room. Cheers and we look forward to your stay!

Great price and location
Our stay was great at the backpackers B&B on salt spring island. The location is great, very central and close to town. The B&B is brand new, the bedding is clean and the shared spaces are big. Beautiful property, with an adult slide in the back.

Excellent little getaway
My stay at the Humming bird backpackers B&B was great! The owners were so lovely, friendly and helpful.
The place was spotless, including the shared rooms, toilet and bedding.
The communal area and large open plan layout, was a great way for me to get to know the other guests and make some friends as a 24 year old solo traveller.
There was a small library, board games and even a quite space on the decking outside to listen to the birds sing in the morning.
Breakfast hit the spot with some fruit and muffins. However the kitchen is fully set up with all the equipment/utensils you need, if you wanted to make your own food.
There is a bus stop right outside the B&B which was so handy but don’t forget to bring your coins for your $2.50 fare.
I would absolutely come back to stay here again and will definitely be recommending to my friends:)
