If Classic West Coast Cabin is more to your taste check out The Cabin at Moon Dance for wrap around porch, warm cedar and waterfront intimacy with the drying tidal basin of Oyster Bay!
Or how about the fully accessible modern lines of The Shed nestled in the forest acreage next door!

The Perch features an incredible, romantic Soaker Tub for Two with tasteful outdoor lighting and intimate views of the landscape. At the end of the day we recommend from experience, your favourite music, candlelight and a soak for two, just steps from the bed. Serenity!

Moon Dance is a peaceful, forested, rural acreage surrounded by tidal waters and dozens of fresh lakes but only 5 km from the bustling Madeira Park village centre. Visit local galleries, hiking trails and venues.

Guests have experienced salmon runs and bear in the fall, elk and deer in the winter and a symphony of ravens, ducks, geese and waterfowl year-round - all drawn by the inter-tidal variety of Oyster Bay! Two salmon bearing streams flow into the bay and the result is an ever changing presentation of bird and fauna as the tides roll in and out.

The Perch at Moon Dance is a modern linear designed Guest Lodging, nestled into a ridge of rock with water and sunset views. Offering adapted accessibility, with Roll in Shower, the open concept is ideal for a couple or small family. The Owners stay elsewhere on the property during your stay, giving you complete privacy but are available for any questions you may have.

If classic west coast is more to your taste check out The Cabin at Moon Dance, with a wrap around porch, lots of cedar & just steps from the water. Featuring vaulted pine ceilings, bamboo flooring and rich cedar trim throughout.
Or, The Shed at Moon Dance is a simple modern design nestled in a forest acreage, fully handicapped accessible, with a separate bedroom featuring a romantic Soaker Tub for Two!

The Perch starts with a natural ridge-hugging ramp to a modern entrance, soaring roof lines, angles everywhere and contemporary art! Full of light, designed to be in harmony with its surroundings, you will have the feeling of being outside from every space.

Beautiful and peaceful spot in the woods.

This place is amazing! It was beautiful and clean, it was peaceful, and even though I had to get some work while on this vacation, it was just perfect to sit outside and enjoy the trees and the birds.Kathleen is lovely and sweet. I will definitely be back.
As soon as I arrived, a deer greeted me - this was very special for a city guy like me. :-)

My two friends and I stayed at The Perch and had an absolutely incredible stay. The property is beautiful and the directions to arrive and check-in to the location were clear. The space is bright with lots of beautiful artwork and unique touches to make it feel architecturally vibrant and coastal. Kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony. Would highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking for a special stay on the Sunshine Coast.

Beautiful, unique building in a Stunning location

Moon Dance Perch surpassed my expectations! The building is a unique design and everything inside is high quality, making for a thoroughly memorable and enjoyable experience. The architecture is optimized to soak in the serene natural environment, and every corner of the building is well thought out. Overall, the Perch is perfect for a romantic getaway or just a relaxing break, and we both felt totally refreshed after our weekend there. We will very likely be back at some point in the future :)

Amazing Oasis

Hi, My husband and I were looking for a super quiet getaway for the weekend and Moon Dance Perch delivered. The Perch is beautifully designed, loved having a real fireplace to cosy up to. And it's far enough from the road that all you hear is the wind rustling through the trees and the call of birds while you sit on the deck for your morning coffee. We could feel our frazzled nerves from a busy city life totally relax. We spent a chill Saturday in Sechelt to browse the shops and put together an amazing charcuterie board (thanks Plethora Fine Foods!). All in all, it was a perfect getaway. A few tips for visitors: the pantry is really basic, just tea, sugar, salt and pepper. Also, the pot choice was limited to smaller pots (although there were large lids?). Really appreciated the sharp kitchen knives which are often overlooked in vacation rentals.

Beautiful secluded location

The property was exactly as pictured in the listing. It is a very well appointed "West Coast" style stand alone building with a big deck and everything that you need included. The fireplace is wood burning with plenty of firewood available. However, the weather was so warm that we did not need to use it. The sectional couch was very large and very comfortable as well. There are two rentals on this property but they are separate enough that you have 100% privacy around this unit. There are plenty of activities within a short drive and a grocery store about 5 minutes away driving. The only thing that could have been better is the size of bed. It has a comfortable Queen size bed whereas they have enough room for a King.

A great, relaxing honeymoon destination

My now husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time. It rained the whole time but that didn’t stop the fun. Great places for take out, amazing views (that looked beautiful even with the rain) and lovely hosts. Kathleen was very easy to get in touch with and always met us with a friendly wave when we drove past her office.

Perfect Romantic Retreat

We had the most relaxing getaway to The Perch. Kathleen was the best host I've ever had, quick and detailed communication, making sure everything was in order. The place was stunning both inside and out. We loved the high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows and privacy... made us not even want to leave. The bathtub was a showstopper and would make a return visit just for that. Thank you Kathleen! We'll be back :)

a truly wonderful stay

You should stay here. It's beautiful. My wife and I needed a quiet getaway after a long year, and the Perch seemed just the right spot to unwind. We couldn't have made a better choice. The views are perfect, the tranquility can't be beat (sitting out among the birds at dawn is an entrancing experience), and the cabin itself is marvelous. Inviting design, comfortable furniture, striking art - not to mention the two-person shower and soaker tub! The soaker tub is surrounded by windows (including one at head level you can open to get some fresh air and birdsong), but you never feel anything other than completely private, surrounded by trees. Kathleen and Brent were superb hosts: there when you need them, invisible when you don't. Nothing but wonderful things to say, and I challenge you to stay here and not feel refreshed. I'm notorious for returning from holiday with a fresh batch of "vacation stress," and it takes a lot to finally just completely relax and let it all go - the Perch (and the hosts) succeeded wildly. Some notes: as others have said, the bay access cuts through the Cabin property, so it's inaccessible when other guests are in (for their privacy). worth checking out, though! it's a mud flat, which is probably less interesting to some of you and more interesting to others. bring a sleep mask. the bedroom is mostly windows, and the drapes don't block a ton of morning sun. the bed is recessed a bit so your head doesn't have a window right next to it, but the furniture is painted white so it still reflects a lot of that light. noise carries over the bay. it's not disruptive, but once or twice we were able to hear an animated conversation from across the water when we were out on the deck in the evening. stands to reason that if you start yelling about something, they can hear it too.

Exhale and relax...

We stayed at the Perch for three nights in August, and it was a wonderfully relaxing time. The space is gorgeous and perfectly complements the natural outdoor setting. We spent a ridiculous amount of time just watching the tide flood in ... and ebb back out. The kitchen is well equipped, the outdoor grill works just fine, the Internet signal is strong, the clothes washer & dryer easily handles loads of dirty hiking clothes, and that soaking tub is genius. The owners are great people and while our encounters were brief, they readily shared local tips and knowledge. One tip for the inter-tidal explorers - bring mudders. It is a mudflat at low tide and you will sink. We'd certainly stay at the Perch again. Looking forward to the next relaxing visit and watching the snow goose mobile spin.
