"Really helpful staff and one of the best affordable options I could find in Port Hardy. While the breakfast options need some work the restaurant attached of the inn was really really good. All the meals I’ve had there were absolutely fantastic. Special shout out to Bernie who was an absolute champion in support."

10/10 Excellent
"This is a modern, clean and comfortable cabin with a well-equipped kitchen. The setting is lovely with ocean views, covered bbq area, patio and fire pit surrounded by a big lawn on a four acre property. It's only a 10 minute walk to the local beach. We set up our base here and spent four days exploring the area including visiting Alert Bay and the U'mista Cultural Centre, San Joseph Bay and the towns of Port McNeil and Port Hardy. Steve made the stay extra special by treating our teens to a ride on the side-by-side and a trip to the lake for a couple hours on the jet-skis. Definitely would stay here again."
