Inhale the view, islands, lighthouses near and far, cruise ships dancing toward the Inside Passage and Alaska.

Absolutely Stunning Weekend at Barooga
Myself and my family went to Barooga for a May long weekend getaway. We could not have been more impressed. First of all, that view!!! We couldn't get enough of that view. We played bocce on the lawn, we went for walks, we had dinners and our morning coffee on the deck. It was comfortable, beautiful and relaxing. A great spot for all families.
Robyn & John were fantastic hosts- friendly and available to help whenever needed, but also respectful of our privacy.
We were so impressed and can't wait to go back! I have already recommended Barooga to many friends.
Thank you so much for such an incredible retreat!
AWESOME
We stayed here with our 4 kids and my parents visiting form France. They've been amazed!
Very nice house, big rooms, lots of space for everyone, great kitchen area with all what you need for cooking, beds comfortables, games, books, jigsaws, huge deck with amazing views, bbq, chairs and table, big sofa, hot tub, biiig garden for those wanting to run around. So peaceful.
Well, it's a paradise!
And how amazing is Robyn! Warm welcome, made us feel like members of the family.
Thanks for these memorable moments!
The view the view
We just spent 2 weeks at this amazing place. Our family consisted of people from ages 84 to 12. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful home. The views in front of the home were constantly changing, from little tug boats hauling huge cargoes to cruise ships on their way to Alaska. We basically lived on the deck. It was beautifully furnished with comfortable lounge and chairs, and had a great Bar BQ. The owners, Robyn and John live next door and that was so helpful. They had lots of knowledge of the area that they gave us. The path down from Barooga to the ocean was a challenge for those over 70, but not for the other ones. There were amazing hikes to go on, great cycling, and of course wonderful kayaking. We certainly want to return to this beautiful place.
Year 4!
4th year and we asked our two boys (4 and 6) keep asking all summer - when are we going back to where the crabs are??!!! Every year we come back and every year is better than the last. The boys' favourite thing to donis hike down to the beach (or get a ride with Robyn) and look for crabs. We bring some hot chocolate and popcorm and play into the sunset.
But theres so much more to do: swim in beautiful Ruby Lake and eat at the Euby Lake Resort (ask for the chef's own smoked salmon or smoked sturgeon farfalle. Check out the unique harbour (and pub) in Egmont. Hike the Skookumchuck. Shoresurf at Davis Bay (get the fish tacos from the bus mmmmmm). Go into Sechelt and do some shopping, get some home made pizza, ice cream and and lattes from the general store. Paddleboard the inlet. Take in the weekend market or one of the many festivals. Take the Malibu up to Chaterbox Falls. Its up to you how much you want to do.
The house is beautiful with breathtakig panoramic ocean views. A bittle of wine and the patio lounger is amust for at least ine night.
John & Robyn thank you so much for being such great hosts. Youve helped us create memories with our children.
Memories Forever
Our family has been going to Barooga for the last five years and we are going again this year! What does that say about how much we love the place. The family continues to grow and we will have six grandchildren there this year. The daily adventures are endless, the dinners on the patio fantastic...Every year I ask my family if they want to go back and I have always got an enthusiastic YES. John and Robyn are great Hosts that really make Barooga a perfect 10!! Life is all about memories and Barooga is one MEMORABLE PLACE that we will cherish forever.
Great Sunshine Coast / Barooga Experience!
We have just returned from seven wonderful days at Barooga! Likely the highlight was accomplishing the Barooga Grind and enjoying the beautiful beach! This was a perfect spot to move about on the coast line, from Gibsons up to Egmount we enjoyed gunking in each and every unique spot! Halmoon Bay General Store and Café was a wonderful experience, they have a tiny little beach near the general store that was a treat to sit at and drink our coffee! Views views views... we enjoyed every morning, afternoon and evening, we simply could not soak enough in. We enjoyed visits from all kinds of wild life, the birds were amazing, the deers beautiful and the orca whales that entered the area were magnificent! A day trip to Garden Bay and Irvines landing was great, we also enjoyed the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival. Thrift store hunting, walking about in the various small towns and simply relaxing at Barooga made this such a wonderful trip.
Robyn and John have outfitted the home perfectly, you will need nothing but yourselves to enjoy this beautiful piece of property. They are amazzzzzing hosts and we enjoyed our brief time getting to know them. You can't go wrong booking this place.
