“This was one of our most peaceful holidays we have had including beautiful vistas and beach walks.”
We loved the site of the accomodation, the serenity of the location, the sounds of the waves. We had lots of exploring to do on Mitchell Island.

“Amazing.”
The view was amazing and it wasn’t a small view but you could enjoy it inside and out; awesome outside deck, with a glass sheltered area, great long windows inside so you can enjoy the view just playing cards or sitting inside. The suite is very spacious and had everything you could need, especially in the kitchen.

“Perfect spot for a getaway.”
The location was directly on the ocean, the bed was comfy, we had everything we needed in the kitchenette, the shower had plenty of hot water and we had our own parking spot. We loved just looking out at the ocean from our little deck.

“great place to unwind in a room right on the ocean's edge”
it felt like living on a boat, with the ocean lapping at the pilings during high tide

“Perfection”
The views from the patio were indescribable. Place was cozy. Everything we needed to cook and relax. It was relaxing, quiet, romantic. A short walk to the coffee shop for a morning cup. Malcom island was pure magic. We signed out bikes from the rec centered. We walked and biked all around.

“Such a great place to recover from life's hectic pace.”
The location was outstanding! It was a delight to be able to sit and have coffee, right on the water! Everything we needed was in the suite. I can't wait to go back!

“Sointula Refuge”
The suite dubbed "stand-alone" was ideal for me. I was mesmerized as just how close to the water that the deck was - I could hear waves lapping on the rocks with the sliding door closed. The queen bed was clean and comfortable and the suite well-equipped. An updated hot plate negated any real need for a stove - there isn't space for one anyway. Full washroom. Good enough internet and a great TV. A useful selection of literature weeks before your stay re:suggested hikes etc. is easily accessed. Your Host is very responsive and will send you a text with tips. ie. Bikes for rent locally and how to utilize the ferry strategically and cheaply. I had 6 sailings for a grand total of $11.60. ie. Any travel between islands is technically free. And, ... the drinking water is just fine. A 700 m (10 minute walk to Burger Barn - a local favourite) With planning, flexibility, and maybe good luck, you can quickly slow down - shrug your shoulders - the fog will lift. Become an islander.

The suite was cozy and comfortable and easily slept our entire party. There was a full kitchen, so we cooked most of our meals and saved money by not having to buy meals out. Most importantly however, the views were stunning! We would definitely stay again.

“Life is as people should live it in Sointula, and Orca Lodge just adds to that.”
There is little to not like about Orca Lodge - your feet are right above the water at high tide. I watched crows dine on a fisherman's salmon fillet remains, and an eagle make off with the entire skeleton. It is an utterly delightful place to stay in a delightful historic little village. The owners are responsive and lovely people. This has been my third visit there, and I very much hope to have a fourth.
