“Warm, rustic lodge walking distance to everything”

Comfortable beds, rustic, short walk to town, clean, large lodge-style great room with a view for breakfast and hanging out, helpful hosts our room (#4) was large and had a great deck for reading and otter spotting.

“VERY PLEASANT”

VERY GOOD

The lodge itself is extraordinary. This is my 4th visit.

I had a great stay here and the hosts Ian and Natasha made me feel at home from the very start. You cannot wish for a friendlier couple, they go above and beyond providing their guests with a personal experience (thanks for the mountain bike ride, Ian!).

We love Alert bay in September, and Alert bay lodge was wonderful ! Beautiful huge room, with an equally huge covered deck looking towards the water. Lovely breakfasts cooked by Ian and a roaring fire to sit beside, perfect!

“It is a beautiful hotel. Rooms were comfortable. We loved the wood burning stove.”

Breakfast was good. Ian our host is a great guy, friendly and made us feel at home.

“A comfortable place to stay in a charming seaside community with a significant Indigenous history.”

The Alert Bay Lodge was charming, comfortable and hospitable. Very unique setting, with a warm welcome from the hosts. Good location, easy walk into "town". The community is great, lots to see and do. Fascinating history. Marvelous must-see: the U'mista Cultural Centre. Whales, dolphins and otters passing by the front of the Lodge every day!

The main lodge room and the breakfast.

“lovely stay in a very unique property”

We loved our stay at the Alert Bay Lodge. It is very quaint and we loved that it was so different from the usual generic accommodation. Natasha and Ian, the hosts, are so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great and we had dinner one night which was also really good. We just felt so ‘at home’ and were sorry leave.

Excellent nutritional breakfast! Amazing view! Friendly and helpful staff. Cozy, interesting decor. Being so close to the shoreline and immersed in nature was special. I loved the main gathering room with all the different places to sit, read or play games. Hearing the eagles every day was a bonus. The whole place gave me a sense of relaxation which I haven’t felt for a long time.

“very nice”

Varied and delicious breakfast.

“Did not live up to expectations unfortunately. The views were stunning but the room was disappointing.”

Great location with beautiful views across the water. Close to local restaurants. Very comfortable bed

“Highly recommend Alert Bay Lodge - Amazing location”

We loved Alert Bay Lodge. It's rather quirky and clearly a labour of love for the owners Nina and Scott. There is an amazing communal space where you will find some really interesting objects and First Nations art. As well as comfy sofas and a lovely fire, tea and coffee is available. It is a wonderful open area to spend the evenings. From here you can access a veranda with incredible views over the water. The location is amazing, we saw orca in the water right outside the lodge! Nina and Scott are very friendly and engaging hosts. There was some healthy competition going on between them with their breakfasts. We had an early excursion on our first morning so Scott made us breakfast rolls to go, which were great. On our second morning we had pancakes made by Scott which were very nice but on our third morning we had pancakes made by Nina which were sublime (sorry Scott) We loved our stay here and would definitely return.

“Great Bed and Breakfast”

“Great Bed and Breakfast”

“It was good but not as good as other B&Bs we have stayed in”

The breakfast was excellent

only one word: AMAZING. My family and I enjoyed the accommodation so much! Apart from the fact that the building itself (partly an old church, partly an old school) is incredibly beautiful and has been furnished and restored with great attention to detail, the hosts were super friendly and accommodating! We learned a lot about Alert Bay and even though the island is very small, you can still experience so much here. The islanders are also very friendly and always up for a good chat. Overall a great stay, we would have liked to stay a little longer to explore the neighboring islands from there. And of course it should be mentioned that we could even see whales from the beach!

“Stunning, calm, we’ll be back!”

Scott is an excellent host. The big room is amazing and we enjoyed all the facilities. The views from the deck are amazing! Beds are very comfy.

The location was very good. Quiet convenient and easy to find. The ambiance of the place was exceptional. The host took the time to show us around the island. The culture and art in Alert was amazing to see.

“an excellent place, highly recommended”

Situated in small village on shore. Delightful warm hosts and excellent personal care and food. Great views and good company
