My husband and I stayed at this hotel whilst travelling on the island. We found it by chance and the room we had was perfect. It was clean, had a full kitchen, and a great water view. The owner was very helpful with information about the area. We had a lovely walk on the beach. The price was also very... More

I had been planning on staying only one night but the second was even better. I was travelling alone and had a ground level room and without another word, I was upgraded to lovely upper unit. The room was cozy and beautifully clean to my delight. There was a kitchenette for any cooking that one wanted to do. Alternatively, there... More

What a wonderful find! Claire and Robbie have made my stay very joyfilled, warm and wonderful. The room is very comfortable and attractive for a longterm stay. Great bed! For nature lovers, this waterfront gem is well-situated. The late winter migrations of seabirds (including brant geese, oystercatchers, sandpipers), mating rituals of sea lions, the miracles of the herring spawn, and... More

We spent one night last week on our way up island and wished we could have stayed longer! The room was great and had an amazing view of the ocean which is right out front as the property is on the beach. We took a short walk to have dinner at a neat little place called Fish Tales - great... More

We are from Saskatoon, Sk. and when we go out to Vancouver Island this is where we stay every year. It is a gorgeous place , the rooms are always very clean, you can do your own cooking if you desire and the view out the back of your room is wonderful. And to top it off the people that... More

Walk out the front of the hotel, and take your pick of the many Qualicum Beach attractions within easy walking distance along a bustling street. Walk around back and stroll along paved walkways through a beautiful and homey English flower garden (complete with fountain), or on a peaceful, uncrowded beach. The rooms are simultaneously cozy and spacious, with full kitchen... More

This is the best place to stay in Qualicum Beach! The rooms are beautiful with magnificent ocean views and access to the beach! We called it "our paradise"! We had such a wonderful experience that we will definately be back again and again. The gardens are absolutely the best!! We believe that this is the hidden jewel of Qualicum Beach!! More
