Located in Qualicum Beach, this hotel is by the ocean. While the natural beauty of Parksville Beach and Rathtrevor Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Grotto Spa at Tigh-Na-Mara.
The Vintage Candy Shop and The Old School House Arts Centre are also worth visiting. Kayaking, motor boating, and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails nearby.

This house surprised us with its loveliness. The views from the porch, the living room, and the primary bedroom, were all expansive of the bay and the mountains beyond it. The kitchen and the whole house was well equipped, there were generous towels, even beach towels, and pleasant surprises throughout. There are kayaks and beach shoes, and binoculars, wood in the fire pit, a hot water shower to come in from the beach, and blanket throws to keep warm in the breeze. There were dog bowls and treats. The hosts were very responsive to questions and very kind. We highly recommend the house and the setting.
