Corkscrew Kitsilano B&B – Vancouver, British Colum Description:

Corkscrew B&B Inn is a Vancouver Bed and Breakfast that features private ensuite bathrooms with balconies overlooking the garden located close to downtown.

Additional Information:

The Corkscrew Inn is a completely restored heritage home on a quiet street in Kitsilano, one of the earliest residential districts of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

This area of Vancouver was forest until after 1909, when the first streetcar line opened on 4th Avenue, two blocks south of us. A building boom occurred in 1910 - 1913, and our neighbourhood retains many of the original homes constructed in that time.

The Corkscrew Inn - Our house, in the classic frame style, seasoned with Edwardian and Craftsman components, was built in 1912 and substantially re-built 90 years later. The safeguards (sprinklers, smoke alarms, security system) and comforts (in-floor heat, ensuite bathrooms) of modern homes have been discreetly incorporated into the design. In the process, we restored or re-used as much of the original building material as we could, and we're very proud of the result. We hope you'll make yourself at home here.

We encourage guests to make full use of the common areas. Don't be concerned that you are intruding on the innkeeper's privacy; we have our own space.

Amenities:

- an extensive collection of corkscrews from the 18th and 19th centuries
- period decorated bedrooms with antique furnishings, all with ensuite bathrooms, windows that open, telephone, cable, and ADSL - computer connections
- the world's largest collection of bar corkscrews
full gourmet breakfast or a continental breakfast option for smaller appetites
- over four dozen stained glass windows, featuring corkscrews.
selected rooms featuring French doors opening onto private balconies, soaker tubs and fireplaces
- a historical display of wine bottles and related wine tools
- a kettle and refrigerator for guests
- a wine cellar which can be booked for a romantic, self catered, candle-lit dinner
- ocean, parks, public transit, tennis courts, pubs and restaurants within a three-block radius
- a five to ten minute stroll to dozens of specialty shops, boutiques and fine restaurants

Activities:

Our Neighbourhood If you've spent any time in Vancouver, we don't need to tell you why Kitsilano is an even better place to stay than the downtown peninsula. But if you've never been here, you need to know what our neighbourhood has to offer. Ocean Do you crave the sound of the waves? Access to a quiet stretch of English Bay is two short blocks from our door (we'll lend you a picnic basket); Kitsilano Beach Park is an easy six blocks east, while Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks are half a mile or so west. They offer swimming, kayaking and wind surfing in summer, beachcombing year-round, and awesome views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park, and the downtown highrises. Food Have you heard about Vancouver's eclectic cuisine? Among dozens of recommendable restaurants nearby are two of Canada's best: Lumière, Quattro and Bishop's, both about a ten-minute walk from the Corkscrew Inn. Shopping Are you coming for a shopping expedition? While downtown's trendy Robson Street is easily accessible, we recommend the hundreds of shops of all sorts to be found nearby on Fourth Avenue (two blocks south) and on Broadway (seven blocks south). The art galleries and antique shops of South Granville are only 12 blocks east. Arts and Entertainment Granville Island, with its famous public market, artisan shops, theatres, museums, boat rentals, restaurants and micro-breweries, is about a twenty-minute walk away from the Corkscrew Inn. Into the music scene? Great sounds can be heard live at any number of local venues, including the Jazz Cellar and Rossini's. Well-being Planning to burn off some of those gourmet calories? You'll find free public tennis courts half a block away in Tatlow Park. Joggers and cyclists have their favourite routes through our neighbourhood, especially the sea wall. The local outdoor Kitsilano pool was at one time the largest pool in North America, 11 laps = 1 mile. Looking for places to stroll? Just about any street in this early 1900's residential area offers fine old houses and gardens to wander past. Leave the late-night traffic noise downtown when you come home to the Corkscrew Inn after an evening out. Convenience for the business traveller Vancouver's downtown core is a five-minute drive, fifteen minute bus or bicycle ride, or half-hour walk away along oceanfront Cornwall Avenue and the Burrard Street bridge. Academic business? The University of British Columbia is about fifteen minutes away by car or express bus.
