A boutique waterfront lodge wrapped around an attractive garden with a driftwood arch and rooms oriented to focus on the ocean, framed by islands and mountains. A good self-contained spot to enjoy West Coast splendor, especially if you book the new Ocean Courtyard rooms with their heated floors, Nespresso machines and Italian marble.
There's an incredible spa, known for its Pacific Mist hydropath, a unique cave with river walks, glacial waterfalls and tidal baths.
The resort is 8km south of Courtenay.
