discover bowen
curated stays for guests.
design + management for island hosts.
Whether you’re seeking your next unforgettable getaway, or looking to elevate your Bowen rental into a destination home, Discover Bowen brings insider access, thoughtful design, and local knowledge to every stay and every space.
I’m Saskia Tait, and through Discover Bowen I guide travellers to unique stays you won’t find on any of the mainstream travel sites and I partner with Bowen locals to build, design, and manage exceptional vacation rental spaces and experiences so you can earn more and stand apart.
My goal?
For guests, my goal is to connect you with unique spaces you’ll return to. Through Discover Bowen, I bring together my love for outdoor adventure, travel, hosting, family, knowledge and respect of local artisans, business owners, and travel to help you experience Bowen Island in the best possible way.
For vacation rental hosts, my goal is to help to turn your vacation rental into a place of singular beauty and value. As a long-time local myself, I understand the rhythms of island-life, guest expectations, and unique rental market. I bring that insight to every property I host and manage.
On DiscoverBowen.com, you’ll find curated stays you won’t spot via mainstream travel sites, and local hosts will find a hands-on, design-driven approach to making your property into something special.
for guests:

We don’t just list homes—we match you with the right one for your best getaway. With our insider knowledge and connections, we can help you discover places to stay that are “off the coast of ordinary”. On top of managing our own spaces, we work with a curated collection of hosts who care about design and thoughtful hospitality, not just filling calendars.
