Say they got the $16 burger....add your communist HST and thats like $21 isn't it?
For the OP....get a realtor to show you some of their foreclosed houses...that area is really wanting Albertans to start buying there again instead of in the US and prop up the false economy that was unsustanable increases in house prices.
When I lived in the Okanagan, anyone who lived there and wasn't retired that I golfed was was always like....I used to flip houses, but now you can't make any money doing it.

Hard to sell grow-op homes.

my neighbours went on it and said it was AWESOME!!!
My wife and I did this last year and it was intensely fun. Incredible views and deep, DEEP river valleys. There's one line where you have the option to go upside down. Highly recommended.
Peachland also has the Waterfront. Not as swanky as the Gasthaus, but damn good pizza.

The Hell's Angels have a really nice operation with the weed over there as well. My in-laws have had a place in Peachland since the early 80's, and during the 90's when they lived in Calgary they rented it out. Not being able to check in all that often made it a prime candidate for a grow-op. The tenant was "contracted" by the Hell's Angels to provide product. Thankfully the jack-wad only set it up in the garage, so damage was minimal. When it was ultimately discovered by my father-in-law the tenant disappeared. There are rumours that he's not dead, but nobody has actually seen him in years.
My in-laws moved back in shortly thereafter, and for months they'd have very large, very angry bikers pounding on the door at all hours of the night looking for the guy. Pretty freaky.

I loved walking around the downtown/boardwalk/beach, so cool that's all on the lake
Is Grateful Fed still open? I don't recall what I had, breakfast I think, but I liked it. I went there as the name was cool. There's a southern BBQ place that was also good.
The patio at Earl's had a beautiful view, I spent hours up there one day.
I recommend walking around and exploring, but that's also what I'd recommend for any city really. Go into interesting stores/restaurants, and stop and smell the roses.
Kelowna was a nice town, don't think I'd want to live there (I'm an East Coast boy through and true nothing against the city), but I loved visiting.
i checked the mall directory for orchard park shopping ctr and the bad news is that there is no sbarro's - the good news is that there is a mrs. vanelli's........
I definitely recommend hitting Peachland. The waterfront is well done, and has several good restaurants across the street from the water. They also have the high dives and zip line with lots to look at. Good place to spend the day.
The wineries are great places to visit, even if you aren't into wine. Most have good eats, and some provide spectacular views of the valley.
