"Peaceful surroundings in a quiet neighbourhood. Friendly dog and close to disc golfing."

"Scenic property. Well thought out. Personal service."

"From deer staring into your bedroom window early in the morning to magnificent sunsets in the evening, Eagle Rock is full of delightful surprises big and small. The house is actually two self-contained and fully equipped units, perfect for our three generational family visit. Our youngest daughter and husband and kids had to run of the basement suite while the other adults could (theoretically) sleep in upstairs in spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite. The kitchen is ridiculously well equipped (two meat thermometers?) featuring everything from a snazzy wine cooler to a full drawer of spices. (We did add a bottle of dried basil. You’re welcome.) This is a professionally-run rental, and you can be confident everything will be in place, well maintained and of a high standard. If you want to grill on the propane barbecue, there’s not only one full tank in the grill but a back up just in case. Pots and pans of all sizes and descriptions abound. There are two coffee makers, upstairs and down. The lovely hot tub is clean and ready to enjoy. There is even a cable car lift (don’t lean on the gate!) to bring your luggage up and down from/to the parking area. Perhaps best of all, the setting is magnificent. The house is perched on a high cliff looking west over the channel to Saltspring Island. And it turns out the name Eaglerock is not just an affectation. A pair of bald eagles nest nearby and swooped daily across the coastline below us. Pauline was out of the country during our visit, but she left the house in the capable hands of Laurie, the housekeeper, who was helpful and welcoming and lived nearby. If you are looking for a comfortable, well appointed, spacious island rental in a gorgeous setting, you’ll be hard put to beat Eagle Rock. One caveat: the descent from the house to the cliffside sitting area is steep, but from there it drops straight into the ocean below. Kids need to be accompanied at all times."

"Very comfortable and quiet. To summarize, my husband said that if for some reason this had to be our forever home, that he’d be just fine with that!"

"We had a nice stay and property is very well equipped. Views are spectacular and the pool is a nice bonus. Host was very accommodating and friendly"

"The balcony view was beautiful. Patio seats were comfortable. Slept well. Syrens restaurant had delicious food. Highly recommend this resort! "

"Sarah and Lesley were lovely hosts that were keen to meet all our needs. Their place was super clean, comfy and quiet and a perfect stay for our family of four. We would highly recommend this home away from home, and look forward to staying here again in the future!!"

"Bring a Kayak or paddle board. Great location. The employee’s running the Bistro are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Enjoy."

"I organized a week-long family reunion at the Orcaview Lodge, and the stay exceeded all of my hopes - we were very sad to leave! Heather was prompt and helpful in her communication. The house and surroundings are even more beautiful than I imagined -- it is not totally clear from the photos that each room has a gorgeous view (most of them of the water) -- and I think it is just difficult to capture how stunning the property really is. We saw seals most days, as well as other fauna including bald eagles, ospreys and deer. The kitchen is stocked with every spice, utensil, and cookware item you could ever need, and it was very helpful to have a second fridge for our larger group. The house is very spacious and would sleep 16 comfortably. Pender island has a great deal to offer, and we were not bored for a second of our stay. We would love to return in the future! A few things that travelers might not be aware of (and should certainly not deter a visit): if you have a large group or are staying more than a few days, I would recommend to bring or purchase extra toilet paper. If you are hoping to get kiddos onto the (very fun) kayaks, I would recommend to bring your own life jackets, as the ones on hand are in need of repair. Also, although there is an outdoor fire pit, there are no outdoor fires permitted for short term visitors, per local by-law. Finally, give some thought as to how you will deal with garbage and recycling, as there is no collection service on the island and not all businesses are open daily on Pender. We had an absolutely incredible time and will treasure our memories at Orcaview lodge!"
