Vancouver Island is a world-famous golf destination and the west coast summer season offers up some of the best conditions to hit the links.

Located conveniently in the middle of the action, the luxurious new home community of The Gales in the Town of Ladysmith offers easy access to golf courses in Victoria, Nanaimo and between.

Some of these renowned courses are members of the Vancouver Island Golf Trail, including Bear Mountain, Arbutus Ridge and the Cowichan Golf Club, while still others offer family friendly options, signature waterfront holes, and peaceful forested fairways.

Living at your new home at The Gales in Ladysmith, you'll be close to the action. From your home base in Ladysmith, you can also launch a kayak from the beach or boat launch after your golf round!  Or choose to relax and soak in the sunshine from your ocean view decks.

It's spring on Vancouver Island and that means flowers are blooming! One particular plant in the Town of Ladysmith is gaining international attention. The more-than-a-century-old shrub, locally known as “Lady Cynthia,” has been attracting international acclaim and visitors after it was listed as one of the most beautiful trees in the world by a number of online publications last year (even though it’s not technically a tree). This massive rhododendron has been blooming on the same hilltop since 1889.

For most of the year, Lady Cynthia just looks like a large, green shrub. But, for approximately two weeks in early May the rhododendron becomes a remarkable sight when it reaches full bloom. Now that it’s in full bloom again, the Town of Ladysmith, B.C., located on the east coast of Vancouver Island, is preparing for another influx of tourists.

Tourists visiting Ladysmith can also enjoy beachcombing, walking trails and the historic downtown, all of which are stunning in the spring sunshine! Residents of Ladysmith can enjoy all of this beauty and more, year-round. 

Establish your roots at the Gales in Ladysmith and plant your own spring garden with a view of the ocean. The luxury townhomes at The Gales offer spacious designs and luxury finishings.
