The view is stunning; a whale even swam by! The cottage is fully equipped, which is very nice.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the stunning view—and how incredible to see a whale swim by! Happy to hear the cottage had everything you needed. We’d love to welcome you back again soon.
We loved our stay at Blackfish Cottage. Everything was easy, the people were friendly and helpful, and the place was beautiful. The view from the house is gorgeous and the extras like binoculars and fire pit were much appreciated. There was even an orca in the distance to greet us as we arrived! It was a little tight for 2 adults and 3 teens but definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will be back!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time at Blackfish Cottage and that everything—from the view to the little extras—helped make your stay special. Seeing an orca on arrival is truly magical! We appreciate your recommendation and would be thrilled to welcome you and your family back anytime.
If you find yourself in the Telegraph Cove/Port Hardy/Port McNeill area, this place is great. It sleeps 4 comfortably (more would be a stretch) and is really well stocked with all the details that you need. We usually travel with extras like sharp knives, BBQ utensils and a good frying pan - but didn't need to use any of them because this place is so well stocked. The travel and cooking books are really neat, and the DVD collection on-site is extensive. We woke up on our last morning to see a bear prowling on the shoreline below to cap off a very nice stay!
