That there was no TV; that made my stay more relaxing than it would have been. My plan was to flake out & glue myself to the screen. The food was amazing & the view from the restaurant is spectacular.

Room was basic and adequate but comfortable. Used room only for sleeping as trip was for fishing. View of water and quiet. Did not have opportunity to eat at restaurant but based on the number of people enjoying their meals it must be good.

“We enjoyed the property but a comfortable and uninterrupted sleep is a primary concern for us.”
the staff were excellent and really made the difference. We were greeted and the room was ready early so Diane (may have that wrong) called to let me know we could access our room. The service staff were always accommodating and friendly. The restaurant has a wonderful view and atmosphere, something I would recommend. Brunch was good.

“Over priced”
Fridge on tge floor, is way to low. If I was a senior it would be terrible to use. Should always be placed on a table for easy use. Shower faucet was working in opposite direction.

“Cozy place in a beautiful spot that families of 5 will appreciate, but a little on the rustic side.”
The location is truly spectacular. Beautiful views, lovely walk on the rocks of the beach. Classic gulf island vistas. The restaurant was great for dinner and super accommodating to our big group. Cute cabin. Comfortable beds. Very quiet. The sound of the rain on the metal roof was lovely. Even with a pub and restaurant next door, we hardly heard any traffic. Big enough for a family of 5 to sleep comfortably with a small kitchenette for self-catering. It is across the street from the water, but the road is very quiet. Beautiful sandstone formations, arbutus trees, blackberry bushes to pick in the rain. Cozy living room area in the lodge when the restaurant is closed. My eldest child played creepy songs in a minor key on the out of tune piano, and it was beautifully atmospheric. Great for our family for a short stay to connect with other family members camping near by.

“Small rustic lodge with restaurant management issues”
This is a small rustic lodge with a few rooms over the main dining room. The room had two comfortable beds and an adequate bathroom, The room decor was also rustic making a change from a modern hotel/motel. The location was fine,, by the ocean a short drive from the ferry terminal. OK for one night to explore Gabriola island by vehicle. Access by ferry was easy (every 35 mins) but we to wait a sailing on our return due to busy holiday traffice.

“Not a luxurious place to stay but adequate for what we needed. The pub was absolutely awful!”
Generally had the bare necessities but could have used some small things like a bread knife and parer.
