On a typical day...
I'm an early bird.

We have recent opened a new local bakery and have odd work hours but still love to host international travellers to help them experience what makes Canada great and learn more about other cultures while making new friends. Consider staying with us in our cozy condo in central Kelowna. You’ll have your own bedroom and a partially shared bathroom and use of the wonderful amenities in the building which include a gym and rooftop pool and spa, available in the summer.
What are you interested in learning while you’re here? Let us know and we’d be happy to help you explore.

House Rules
We keep a quiet and clean house. Come and go as you please but know that our small dog Simon will bark at noises so we will all hear when you arrive. Greg is a baker and works through the night usually starting work at 1am. I sometimes go into the Bakery early at 4am or 5am. Some days I work 9-5. You will often find us at home mid day hanging out before Greg goes to bed at 3pm in the afternoon.
The living room space isn’t large so there aren’t good places to gather in the apartment but there is a games room one floor down where you can hang out with friends. We also have a nice space on our own private balcony that you can enjoy. Probably best that you meet up elsewhere with friends.
Linens: The bed comes with sheets and bedding. We provide towels for the bathroom as well. You will wash your sheets and towels using the laundry room in the unit. We provide laundry soap.
Cleaning: You will keep your bedroom clean & tidy. You will keep your bathroom cleaned. We have our own bathroom but use the shared bathroom occasionally. We provide cleaning products. We have an automatic Roomba vacuum cleaner that runs 3 days a week and you'll need to open your bedroom door on those days to allow it to vacuum your space.
Cooking: We will provide you with space in the pantry and in the fridge. You can cook your own food, just be sure to clean up after yourself. We provide dish soap. You may cook in the kitchen between 7am and 8pm. Because we own a bakery, we can provide you with breads, cinnamon buns, scones, or croissants for breakfast as well as coffee you can make at home. However, if you prefer another form of breakfast you can find all sorts of options at the grocery store around the corner. (it's very close!)
No smoking in or around the home. Cannabis is legal in Canada but we prefer no cannabis use at the house.
Smoking Rules
Your host is a non-smoker.
Smoking is not allowed.

They were always very attentive, kind, and helpful. They assisted me with everything I needed, and I felt safe throughout my stay. The room, the apartment and the building are lovely and had everything I needed. All the important stores and more is near there which was perfectI will miss their hospitality. They are truly wonderful people and also their dog Simon (It's very calm, disciplined and cute).

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
