Feature Friday



Featuring the fabulous Fairwinds neighbourhood located in Nanoose Bay, it’s easy to understand why this community appeals to retirees. As you wind your way along Powder Point Road you will come across the entrance to the Enos Lake trailhead on your left and soon after, the small parking area for the Notch Hill trailhead entrance on your right. Fairwinds has miles of walking paths one can explore with a path usually found a short distance from your home. Continuing along, you will enter this community of custom homes, some of which are perched atop solid rock foundations taking in the ocean vista beyond and others that are seemingly carved into the landscape. The private wellness centre features an outdoor tennis court, while indoors you have the use of work out facilities an indoor pool and a large gymnasium where spin classes, yoga and pickleball are offered. A cozy lounge area where one can enjoy a coffee and catch up on the news of the week is also available.

For the golfing enthusiast, the challenging Les Furber designed 18 hole layout awaits with a clubhouse and deck overlooking the 9th green where you can enjoy a meal and a featured IPA on tap. You’re bound to get a glimpse of the abundant wildlife, and the beautiful flower baskets Tanya lovingly cares for will delight the senses and ensure you never want to leave!

Naturally the ocean is the main attraction in this wonderful seaside development. The full service marina is one of the largest in the area and will soon be enhanced  by the brand new restaurant and bar “The Landing” that is bound to attract mariners passing through and be a welcome amenity for the residents. I’m certain many friendships will be forged as visitors and residents alike exchange their stories of life on and around Vancouver Island.
