I have come here with my 2 young sons and husband. We read the previous reviews and were a little nervous about going to a fishing lodge - as we are not fishers. It is a fab place. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. We have been on a wildlife tour which was brilliant. There is a... More

Stayed here recently for a meeting. Nice hotel by the water in Campbell River. Good pub, food was OK. It was before the main fishing season so the room I was assigned was huge and split over two floors. Too big for me. Some people here claim the decor is tired but I found it fine and very clean. No... More

Not what we expected. My husband's first comment was a small TV. He sat down on the floor to watch it, the bed was too far away. But the food brunch was great, and had a lot of seafood. The staff were very friendly, and attentive. Eat outside it you can for the view.

Painter's Lodge has had a long history. She was showing her age in our ocean front ground floor unit. The floors creaked throughout the unit. The floor in the bathroom was home to dead bugs. The decor is moving from rustic to old and tired. The splendor of Painters Lodge has been lost at this end of the complex. The... More

This was a beautiful experience, on a gorgeous property. The resort room was lovely, and the view was calm and nature-filled. Consider taking your significant other, yourself, or your friends for a little bit of connection to nature. The animals will welcome you, the trees will wave, and all you need to do is breathe in the good vibes. Bring... More

It was simple, nice, and a quick , quiet get away. If you want to go fishing, it is not cheap, but they do provide all of the necessary equipment. If it is not something you do on a regular basis, then it is well worth the "catch".

Upon our return from Knight's Inlet (an amazing experience!), we stayed here. We were offered a choice of places to stay on this night before our return to Vancouver, and chose Painter's Lodge, even though it cost extra because this looked the best of our options. It may have been, but we were still pretty disappointed. Probably because we booked... More

My wife and I celebrating our 10 year anniversary 6 days on the North Coast of Vancouver Island found the Painter's Lodge the perfect way to close out our trip as our last night of accomodation on the Island.

A seasonal hotel but he staff are most helpful and very friendly. If you enjoy fishing this is a good place as they organise sea fishing and I saw each boat return with happy anglers - all caught large salmon. Rooms are a good size and clean.The restaurant serve good food with a lot of local produce. A good place... More
