THE EASTMAN ESTATE RETREAT
eastman1  eastman2  eastman3  eastman4

Stunning views and relaxation on the quiet and private northwest side of Bowen Island. This waterfront retreat offers two very different experiences of the B.C. coast. 
  
Rainbow’s End (main house) with the highest Green Building certification and designed by Joan and Charles McNeill, reflects their strong desire to integrate extraordinary natural beauty with the lightest ecological footprint.

The Eastman Point Cottage is a step back into B.C. in the 1950s -- a small wooden cabin that exudes backwoods charm and seclusion right on the water.
 
Views from both properties are of Mt. Garibaldi, the Sunshine Coast, and nearby islands. Sit on the decks for spectacular sunsets while watching the eagles, seals, otters and an occasional Orca or the resident dolphin population. Or explore the treasures of the ocean by kayak or boat.

Come and experience B.C. wilderness and deep rejuvenation in either the new ‘green’ house or in the charming cottage on the point. Or book both for your family getaway.
