"We had a perfect time in Telegraph Cove. The apartment was fully equipped, and Joane and Bob are wonderful hosts who made us feel truly welcome. Bob even organized a fishing trip with his neighbours for our boys – thank you again! From our kitchen window we even saw Orcas and a Bald Eagle. We highly recommend this place – it was the highlight of our trip, and we would love to come back!"
