An unlikely oasis is waiting to be discovered in a Fraser Valley golf resort.
surrounds it: Harrison Mills isn’t exactly a buzzing area, and the Sandpiper Resort is an obvious landmark. But my partner and I didn’t make the trafficky two-hour drive from Vancouver to tee off. We’ve come to take a bath.
The interior of the cabin has a modern, minimalist vibe: it’s all concrete, black, white and wood. A switch on the wall activates blinds that slowly reveal the patio tub, as well as a serene view of a little pond, the golf course and the Harrison River beyond. My partner and I get our swimsuits on and beeline for the tub. We’ll be bathing in no time.
Wrong. According to a printout on the coffee table, the tubs take “approximately one hour” to fill. That makes sense, of course. The deep tub gets me considering the eco-friendliness of this experience. We’ll fill the tub for an hour to sit for what—20 minutes? Then drain it all? I have about 45 minutes to consider the ethics of this, because that’s how long it actually takes for the tub to fill .
When it’s time to get out and dry off for our dinner reservation, my partner reaches in to pull the plug, but I stop him—if there’s any chance the water is warm-ish when we get back, I’d like to try it out. We slide on the heavy tub cover and head over to the on-site restaurant.
