Chattaways is a modern bed and breakfast with two large bright comfortable suites, overlooking the Campbell River, in South Surrey.

The suites are tastefully decorated in warm inviting colours, each with a private entrance and deck, where you can relax and enjoy the view. You may have the choice of a full cooked breakfast served family-style in the dining room, or a continental breakfast of fresh fruit and baked goods with cheese and jams.

Our location is very convenient, about two minutes west of Highway 99 (exit 2) the first turn-off north of the Peace Arch border crossing, and within easy walking distance of the beautiful beaches of White Rock.

In the South Surrey and White Rock area there are many fine golf courses, as well as nature trails, sandy beaches, shopping malls, art galleries, and museums... something for everyone!

At Chattaways you will be greeted with a smile by your hosts, Trevor and Mary Anne. The atmosphere is friendly and casual... your comfort and enjoyment are our main concern.

Sorry, but we are unable to accept pets as we have a resident cat named Tigger. Our cat is very social and is not allowed in the guest rooms. In consideration of our guests, Chattaways Bed and Breakfast is a smoke-free environment; there is no smoking inside the home or on the decks.

The city of White Rock is named after the 400 ton white rock that which lies on the beach just east of the pier. The huge boulder is a glacial left-over, although Salish lore tells a much more colourful account of how it arrived on the beach.

Sunny White Rock / South Surrey is located 1.5 miles north of the Douglas (Peace Arch) border crossing and occupies the Semiahmoo peninsula. The peninsula is renowned for its sandy beaches, nature trails, quaint restaurants, coffee bars, tea rooms, art galleries, waterfront dining and spectacular sunsets.

The city's pier - stretching 1,559 feet into the ocean is one of White Rock's major features. Dating back to 1915, it's wooden planks attract crab fishers, swimmers, and hundreds of leisurely walkers.

A red brick promenade lines three miles of waterfront stretching from Semiahmoo Park in the east along many oceanside landmarks to the popular west beach.

White Rock experiences thousands of hours of sunshine each year. White Rock Beach and Crescent Beach offer a great setting for swimming, kayaking, skim boarding, windsurfing, and sailing.

Stroll past the legendary White Rock, picnic overlooking the promenade or visit the historic White Rock Museum and Archives.

White Rock's Marine Drive, the epicentre of the peninsula, is where the young and old get together and celebrate life. It's a place where the daily passing of trains still inspire children to wave and adults to watch with awe as powerful wheels roll along the tracks. The grassy stretch along the railway tracks is the summer home to sun worshippers, hackey sackers, families and youth.

Marine Drive is famous for great food, especially the fish and chips and homemade ice cream. Many street-side patios take advantage of the warm weather for those looking to enjoy an outdoor feast. When the searing rays heat up the strip, ice cream and suntan lotion become the biggest sellers, although shoppers can buy everything from antiques to swimsuits in the dozens of beach front businesses.

There are incredible exploration opportunities to be found right here in Semiahmoo Bay with its beautiful scenery, abundance of birds and marine wildlife. One of the best ways to discover the shores is by kayak or by walking along one of the many different paths or nature trails.
