Located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, a short ferry ride from Vancouver.
Our cottage has ample parking, a wood burning stove, a heat pump, a south facing sundeck, and an equipped kitchen. There are many walking trails surrounding the retreat, and the entrance to the beautiful Smuggler Cove Provincial Marine Park is a short 3 minute drive away. The Halfmoon Bay store is also nearby, along with kayak rentals, pubs, restaurants, liquor and video stores.
Turtle Rock became a natural choice due to the large rock at the heart of our property, which resembles a turtle's head and shell. I love the symbology of the Turtle:
“The top of the shell is a symbol of heaven, and the square underside, a symbol of earth. Turtle helps you to unite heaven and earth in your own life.
Turtle holds the mystery of awakening the senses, both spiritually and physically. Turtle reminds us that the way to heaven is through earth, our primal mother. In mother earth is all that we need. She will care for us, nuture and protect us, as long as we do the same for her.”
