After a long day of travel from Texas, including a two-hour wait for the ferry, we finally pulled up to the Arbutus Grove Motel at about 11 PM. I was greeted by a smiling Jacqui who assured me I was not an inconvenience, even though we arrived hours after closing time. We were very pleased to find the rooms as... More

I stay at this hotel frequently while in Parksville. Even though there are other well-known hotels right beside the waterfront, I prefer to stay here. The rooms are always clean, staff is friendly, and it has always been quiet. Jackie is very helpful and friendly when you have questions about the local eating places and things to do in the... More

Arbutus Grove Motel is like a home away from home. It is nestled in a quiet location near the shops and a short walk to the beach. The front deck employee was friendly and helpful with giving direction and advice as to the best restaurants in the area. The room we stayed in was comfortable, clean and had a great... More

I have had the opportunity to stay at this lovely motel several times in the last few years and have always been impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and the grounds, as well as the rates for the rooms.

Beautiful hanging baskets full of flowers during summer is a nice touch along with the cedar benches out front where you can sit and relax at night, watch the world go by. We go up with our Car Club, we stay two nights and it's fantastic. We gather at night at the picnic tables on the grass for a potluck... More

The hotel is one of our favorites for traveling through the mid island. It's easily accesible to the island highway , super clean & has great people who run it ! The super cute dog in the lobby is always a highlight! It's a charming re- furbished hotel that never disappoints !

We spent 2 nights at the Arbutus at the end of August 2011. We received a warm welcome from the motel owner, even though we arrived late in the evening due to a ferry delay.. The room was impeccably clean and smelled fresh. It was obvious that it had recently been renovated. The room had 2 comfortable queen sized beds,... More

Can't say enough about this little motel in Parksville near the resort beaches. Comfy bed with a flat screen tv was a bonus. We got a kitchenette unit which is worth it...
