Caprice Bed and Breakfast
Gibsons ~ Sunshine Coast ~ British Columbia ~ Canada
A Quiet, Luxurious, Romantic Retreat
The Inn
Situated on an acre of ocean view land, surrounded by
majestic west coast cedars, Caprice Bed & Breakfast is a tranquil
oasis on the West Coast. Whether you choose to hike the many scenic
Sunshine Coast trails, mountain bike through the forest, kayak on the
beautiful waters of the Strait of Georgia, golf on one of our four
courses, or simply relax and unwind on the Caprice terrace, reading,
swimming in our pool, and soaking up sunshine as you watch log booms
and cruise ships float past, you will experience a holiday to remember.
The Setting
Cedars, hemlocks and firs frame a spacious lawn looking
out to the sea. From early spring to late fall, rhododendrons, magnolias,
camellias, and masses of flowers add a palette of colour to the surrounding
green. On one side a natural forested ravine gives seclusion and privacy.
Guests frequently comment on the quiet, peaceful surroundings.
Pool and Hot Tub
The swimming pool and hot tub, overlooking the gardens
and sea, are favourite places for guests to relax. The terrace, next
to the pool area, has several grouping of chairs in which guests read,
chat, watch the eagles and herons or simply gaze at the sea
Gourmet Breakfasts
Breakfasts at Caprice are served in the parlor overlooking
the sea, or weather permitting, outside on the gallery. They always
include fresh fruit in season and juice, homemade pastries, jams and
granola followed by a main hot course such as blueberry pancakes, omelets
or eggs benedict. Organic Italian roast and decaf coffee, and a variety
of teas complete the menu. Special dietary needs are cheerfully accommodated.
Pet Friendly
Caprice is unique in that we welcome your pets ($10 pet fee). Many
of our dogs, of all sizes, return again and again, and bring their
owners with them.
Your Hosts
Your hosts at Caprice are Lois Choksy and Jeanette Panagapka. Before
retiring, we were both teachers. In our new career, we enjoy chatting
with our guests from near and far and delight in the lively conversations
over breakfast.
The Rooms
Before opening in 1999, Caprice was completely renovated. Everything
is new, clean and tastefully decorated. We provide a smoke free environment
and do not permit smoking in or near the house. Caprice is not suitable
for children.
Caprice has three rooms, Room 54, Room 27 and Room 13 1/2, each with
its own parking space. Guests have often asked about the origin of
the numbers. The first two, 54 and 27 are from cruise ship cabins.
A guest suggested that the third, and smallest room should, by the
rules of mathematical progression be 13 1/2.
There is a two night minimum stay on holiday weekends and in the summer.

Caprice is approved by BC Tourism, and is a member of the Sunshine
Coast Bed & Breakfast, Cottage Owners Association and the Gibsons
