It's a very nice hostel in a very nice location. But badly…read morethere weren't many people around. Badly, when you want to charge your devices, you also have to turn the light on (at least in the b dorm), what is quite annoying, especially for overnight. This hostel is not suitable for big and heavy suitcases, because there's no elevator, but when you're with a backpack/ smaller suitcase it works just fine. For your convenience there is a bar right around the corner, and the super market and a drugstore/ banks are just about a 10 minute walk away.

Bev is the owner and she is very kind! She rents out the separate suite in the lower half of her beautiful home. There are two bedroom - one with a queen size bed and the second with two single beds. There is a full sized bathroom and a nice living room with a gas fireplace for those chilly night. The couch pulls out into a queen bed as well so you can easily sleep 6 people in this suite. It looks our onto the beautiful Strait of Georgia - we honestly were sad to leave! There is a fully stocked kitchen all you have to do is bring your own food and drink and you can relax and have a great time! We plan on brining our kids next time and staying to enjoy the beautiful view some more. Bev was kind enough to offer a bottle of white wine which was nice after our long day out on the beach foraging for shellfish. This place is a gem for sure and we would recommend it to anyone looking to get away and stay on the island.

But it's an experience akin to "fawlty towers" staying here. amateur. messy. horrible service. be prepared to tidy up after others if you wish to lay poolside, use the one fire pit or request a kayak. this is an expensive non luxury experience. I've stayed at Travelodge and Airbnb that were better at a fraction of the price. and for what is available in this area, it's not that special. special callout goes to the atrocious front desk staff. second runner up is the housekeeping that took three separate visits to clean the room yet still didn't provide towels or coffee. and when something broke in the room it took three calls and over an hour to get a simple repair done. I will NEVER stay here again

An instant favourite was the scallops which was rich and creamy without being overly heavy. The atmosphere is casual but classy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The menu is well curated, from classic dishes like rack of lamb to more creative options like seared scallops, fish, mussels. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the flavors are expertly balanced.

In an area of the Sunshine Coast where summertime accommodations are constantly booked out, this…read moreplace may fill a good gap in the area. Still being prepped for the season, I got the grand tour of the various "furnished camping" sites: a yurt of sorts, a cabin, A trailer, and soon to be deluxe tents that you don't need to bring. Perfect for people coming to the area wanting to travel light. What appeals to me is the variety of options,.. not everyone wants a trailer but a through cyclist can use a tent knowing their next stop may be in Powell river and they didn't want to carry so much just for the middle part of their trip (as was the case for me). I see the potential of this place expanding and the small touches are evident an on the way. For example at night there is plenty of solar powered LED lighting to make it a bit magical as they line the access trails and hand off the outhouses.

Some guests come for longer periods and the majority of their listings offer wifi, so it's a great spot for those who can work remotely. Every season, they add at least one new listing. 2 years ago, it was 4 fully furnished campsites, complete with all the camping gear, tent on platform, picnic table, etc. In the spring of 2024, they launched their very cool and unique micro A-Frame, with an opening wall, really blending the indoor and outdoor space. Tiny Secrets is all about offering Tiny, yet very functional and unique listings on their 10-acre oceanview property. The more time you spend here, the more secrets you'll discover. They are also located only 20 minutes from Sechelt and 12 minutes from Madeira Park, so they are very central. You can even come multiple times and stay in a different place each time.

There are signs in the lobby area saying "no drugs, no prostitutes" or you get kicked out. I asked to see the room before paying and so I was given a room on the second floor facing the lake. There were problems with the power and the chain-lock on the door was broken but the manager there fixed the power situation at least. Another manager later on told me that they have a problem with drugs and hookers but that they are usually put in the back of the hotel. So no worries! Otherwise the hotel room was clean, even though it wasn't safe, and I slept well. Good value but not for the faint of heart.

The Value Motel fit all of these requirements; the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room I had was on the top floor at the front of the motel at the end of the building the view was perfect. I also liked the fact they had vending machines at the motel, and I was able to even buy a pizza from the front desk, which I cooked in the Microwave. What I liked about that is the fact that was convenient I was able to relax the whole time and did not have to leave the motel. I also found the showers to be nice in the rooms. I would definitely come back again.

For the women, there were 2 restrooms and a shower available for use by guests. Sorry, I'm not sure of the facilities for men but I'm sure it was the same as the women's. No laundry facilities were available. Wifi was available but we were not able to connect. Thankfully, I had Skylink. I stayed here for 4 nights after the West Coast Van Fest and enjoyed my stay. It was an affordable alternative to larger rv park.
