We are a block away from a popular pub Roys Towne Pub, and the food is better than average pub food with a chef on site. There is a spa and restaurant a few blocks away, the Kingfisher. In nearby Cumberland, an old coal mining town, there are assorted eclectic shops, restaurants, pubs and breweries. Courtenay is somewhat larger and this is reflected in the same sorts of opportunities on a larger scale. Comox is larger as well and situated on the water. We boast a popular ski resort Mount Washington and alpine meadows and trailways. Water sports in the valley are popular and many summer festivities involve seaside activities, food and locale.

A rental car is a convenient way to see the sights. Bikers love the area for trail riding and getting around the valley as well. Buses run regularly and stop within a block.
