Enjoy our recreation area with a large pond (much smaller in the summertime), our small playground for young kids, and our small orchard with several small ponds. Explore our walking trails, visit our chickens, or sit near our seasonal waterfall. There are many spots on the property to sit and chill. We've also been Airbnb hosts for over 13 years.

We have a 7 acre developing hobby farm currently with fruit trees, a garden, a king shepherd named Jack and a cat named Lulu. You may see some of our neighbour's ducks walking around and hear their rooster in the morning. Please note; our driveway is an uphill, switchback driveway so long trailers are not a fit for our location. Front wheel or 4 wheel is a plus but typically all vehicles can make it up our driveway. We have 2 swimming holes near and backing our property. At the back of the property is Hayward Lake/Hairsine Creek which is great for swimming. Inflatable paddle boards are the way to go if you wish to paddle board in the lake since it would be difficult portaging a rigid paddle board down the Crown Land trail. On the front is the Stave River Runoff. This has trails and is ideal if you have smaller children as the water is a bit warmer and has shallow areas. There are hiking trails in the area and a beach area a short drive from the sites.

In a cedar grove, nestled among the ferns, a lotus belle tent awaits you. A unique bed and breakfast in an off-grid tent. Inside the belle tent there is a comfortable double bed with clean sheets, plump pillows, and a warm Pendelton blanket. A 'west coast homestead basket' with granola, fruit ,and farm eggs is provided for a nutritious breakfast. A Berkey water filter provides delicious water from our mountain well. Inside the tent, a comfortable chair looks out over the mossy forest toward the creek. There is room to stretch, and a couple of yoga mats to use. A stretch is especially nice after exploring the nearby trails through Mount Maxwell forest. The trails take through a varied and fascinating forest. Along the way are mossy knolls with vistas of the valley, ocean, and Vancouver Island. One trail leads all the way to Burgyone Bay. The belle is an off-grid seasonal tent with electric candles for lighting and a composting toilet. At night there are solar string lights--should you want them--which illuminate the path to the tent. On clear nights, turn the lights off to star-gaze through the branches.

The property is beautiful and a great setup with so much equipment! Made our experience much easier and more pleasant. We also loved visiting the chickens and rabbits on site. The on-sight staff, Dan, was a joy and made us feel so welcome.

Weekend Trip to Forest Sanctuary Bell Tent

We loved our time on Christian's stunning plot of land! The common kitchen area was well stocked and a fantastic place to socialise with the other guests. The tent we rented was very spacious and a perfect place to rest at the end of a beautiful day in the area. Christian was very accommodating with our requests such as lending us his portable toilet and was fun to hang out with around the fire pit in the evening. Would definitely recommend and consider returning!

Sherri and Brent are such great hosts, always so friendly and welcoming. We've been coming to Hayward to camp for years and they're always making improvements to the sites. We were so excited to check out their new glamping option this year and it did not disappoint. Everything you need and so cozy. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Weekend Trip to Woodland at The Shamba

This property felt very private for us! There’s a 2 minute walk down the trail to the tent area, pretty easy to get your stuff there if you’re used to trail walking. Lots of fresh fruit and granola bars provided for us! The toilet is very simple but clean and fine for a couple nights. We brought all the necessary camping equipment minus a tent and sleeping bags. You will need outdoor chairs, a stove, cooler and other camping essentials. This was pretty obvious given the description and reviews so don’t be shocked when it’s just a bed and table! Overall we really liked the area and the tent and bedding were clean and very comfortable, had a great stay!

Mielle was a wonderful host. The land was peaceful and lush. The bell tent was clean and spacious. A few things for future visitors: The forest is quite humid so the tent has a slight musk smell. We had one exceptionally hot day during our stay and that dried out the tent enough to clear the air but otherwise it is a bit damp. Not unpleasant enough to bother us but slightly noticeable. Also it is definitely an off-grid tent which is wonderful for those who want to unplug. The host is also very generous and gave us access to a trailer they have on the property that had a flush toilet, electricity and running water. Some things to note: the tent site is a short distance from the parking so you’ll have to pack in and pack out. There is a ravine in the middle so if you are bringing in a lot of supplies for camping, this will take some time. This site is better suited as an eco-bed and breakfast than a camping site as there is no picnic table, which makes cooking and food preparation challenging. Still, as campers we made it work. Also worth noting, the composting toilet is actually a bucket but as mentioned, our host gave us access to a trailer with a flush toilet. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend this site to others.

My son and his friend had such a fantastic time staying at Brent and Sherri’s campsite! From the very start, Sherri and Brent were incredibly helpful, friendly, and extremely accommodating. Their communication was amazing — always quick to respond and willing to answer any questions. They truly went above and beyond to make the stay enjoyable. The boys especially loved having kayaks available to rent, which became one of the highlights of their trip. They had so much fun out on the water. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and my son couldn’t stop talking about how great it was. I would 100% recommend staying at Hayward Farms, we will definitely be booking with them again. Thanks again for everything !

Christian was very welcoming, and gave us a friendly tour of the sanctuary on our arrival. It's a beautiful, well designed and maintained, space! The tent was spacious and the area peaceful. He provided some great recommendations that were a short drive away. There is a lot to see, do, and eat nearby. Thanks for a great getaway, we'll be back!

Inside the tent is a large air mattress with a foam topper - so comfy!

We had a lovely stay here. The site was quiet and peaceful and had everything you need for camping so we didn't have to pack much. Neighbors are close by but everyone respected the quiet hours. The bell tent was roomy and the campsite kitchen amenities were a nice addition. Parking was limited so we did have to park near the entrance once. We also noticed someone took one of our potable water containers without notifying us, which was a bit strange. We also had a wild animal rummage through our belongings the last night. Despite that, we would recommend this site to anyone who wants to pack light and enjoy a peaceful getaway near Sechelt.

The Romantic Bell Tent was amazing! They supplied everything we needed for the 3 nights my girlfriend and I stayed there. The tent was very spacious and comfortable. The portable heater was much needed for the times when it was cold in the evening. The area was quite and well kept. Will definitely stay there again next time we head to the sunshine coast.

Weekend Trip to Hayward Farms

My daughter (14) and I loved our overnight getaway in The Grove Glamp Site (Site 4). Communication was prompt, friendly and helpful prior, it was very easy to find, and both Brent and Sherri briefly checked in once on site to ensure we knew how to use everything and had what we needed. The site and tent itself are spacious, clean, peaceful, and beautiful. Everything was very comfortable and easy - we just had to pack our food and clothed and show up! There were even a few games provided. The short hike to the lake was totally manageable and we loved hopping the floating bridges and dipping our feet in the water. Bring a sleep mask and earplugs so the sun nor the rooster wake you up and you’re golden!

What a dream come true! I was looking for a nature getaway that was in the elements & also alluring // smooth on logistics (without the noise of public campgrounds, *ideally*). Mielle’s lotus tent in the cedar forest was *MUCH* more than we bargained for! I adore cooking while camping (food always tastes best outside), so we brought a camp stove & filled the cooler with delicious local eats, yet didn’t have to worry about setting up a tent —> instead had a glorious, clean, spacious yurt to kick our feet up on a comfortable bed after exploring so many gems & adventures Salt Spring Island has to offer! Mielle was a -very kind & gracious- host.. there was fresh fruits & snacks upon arrival, clean drinking water, as well as an incredible surprise greeting from her 3yr old Bernese Mountain dog who brightened our stay beyond measure :D Can’t recommend this place enough; hope to be back some day!

This is a beautiful and magical place that really embodies the word "sanctuary." It hits the perfect balance between rustic camping and the comfort of a more glamping style experience. Christian's dedication and vision has really made this place one of a kind, and he is working on more plans for the future as well. My mom and I had a wonderful stay.
