Our luxurious sauna is available as an optional add-on to your stay. To ensure a private and rejuvenating experience, we offer pre-booked sessions at an additional fee. Please inquire upon booking to reserve your preferred time
Although Powell River is on the mainland, it will require a couple of ferry rides (Horseshoe Bay to Langdale and Earl's Cove to Saltery Bay) to get to it because it is not directly linked with the rest of the provincial road network.
By Air: Pacific Coastal Airways & Habour Air
By Car / Ferry: BC Ferries
In the summer months it’s a good idea to make a ferry reservation from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. Reservations are not available on the 2nd leg, from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay.
If you’re planning on swimming is a good idea to bring water shoes.
Arbutus Cove Retreat is pet friendly, however, please note the property is not fenced in. A pet fee is charged, in order to cover additional charges for cleaning.

We had a wonderful stay in the Cedar Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat. The space was thoughtfully laid out, spotless, and the views were absolutely stunning. Check-in was seamless, and everything was just as described. We’ll definitely be back!
Everything about the Cedar and Hemlock (our family stayed in both) suites was wonderful -close enough to Powell River, but located on the water, why leave? The suites have everything you would need -a well appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, a great view of the Strait of Georgia and a beach bonfire site. Would definitely book with Sean and Jennifer again.
Everything about our stay was top notch. The house is well appointed and we had everything we needed for a great stay. The kitchen was very well equipped as were the bathrooms and right down to a basket of wood for a fire in the wood stove. Highly recommend this property.
Whales, sunrises and sunsets, full amenities, easy access to town and yet away from town, access to wonderful walks and beaches, views of ships, seals, eagles, and the sea, comfortable living space, many amenities for cooking (!!!) and a wonderful home for famiilies.
Everything about the property and the location are top notch. It is a perfect getaway from the busy city life. I am already recommending friends to book for a stay in this property when they are in Sunshine Coast.
Incredible location and well designed property. It had everything you could imagine in the kitchen making it very easy to cook and hang out. The beds were very confortuand I liked the wood theme throughout, showing in the kitchen table, the bed backboards and even the shelving in the bathroom. The outdoor beach area was very cozy, although we spent most of our time on our patio looking out at the ocean. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.
Sean and Jenny have the most incredible property. These suites have everything - literally everything - you could need. Stunning views, great amenities and a fantastic, quiet location. They are both wonderful hosts - consistently going above and beyond to make sure their guests have a relaxing, comfortable stay. Thank you, Jenny and Sean!
Everyone has a great stay- quiet spot for a get-away, and lots of space inside for the family to enjoy. Great host that helped with answering all of our questions. Added bonus- saw whales from the hot tub - who could ask for more?
Our group had (4 adults and 2 kids) had a wonderful stay. The suite was very well equipped and cozy for a few rainy fall days.
We loved the hot tub and the views.
Brian and Jenny were very gracious hosts and made sure we were comfortable.
Would love to stay here again!
Highly recommend this gorgeous waterfront property! 5 ⭐️ Home is beautiful, nice outdoor patio, pergola by the beach, salt water hot tub & fire pit! Great stay🙌🏻
Sean and Jenn were the most attentive and lovely hosts we have ever had the pleasure of staying with. They have put a lot of love and hard work into this property and we were lucky to find it. Mother nature added her touch as well and provided us with some great memories.
