At the end of our a 5 day stay at one of the cottages at the Tuwanek hotel we did not want to leave. The location is absolutely beautiful - quiet and peaceful, and not overrun by tourists. The At the Water's Edge Spa at the hotel offered a hot stone massage that was absolutely heavenly. The hosts, Chris and Krista, are super friendly and very helpful. This is the best place to both enjoy the great outdoors (we kayaked, swam, and mountain biked) and be pampered by a first class hotel. The location is remote enough that you feel you have "gotten away from it all"; but, the drive and ferry ride from Vancouver is less than 2 hours so very convenient. It's well worth the trip if you are looking for a quiet and luxurious place to rejuvenate your spirit.

Where do you start. This is the most beautiful place we have stayed at. We spent a week in the Casablanca room and it was fabulous, breakfast in the mornings served to your room was fantastic. The view from our room was worth the price alone but all the extras are what make it all that much better. Thay have a on site spa and my wife is still in heaven. Kayaks, billards room, movie room, hot tub are only a few of the creature comforts. I have done alot of traveling over the years and this is the first time I have written a review for any Hotel/Motel/BB and it will be my last because I have found heaven. To our host Krista and Chris we want to thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness, everyting you suggested was well worth doing. If you need some time to relax and get back to what really matters this is the place for you.

This is a definite must for a romantic get away. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and over 600 sq. ft. of luxury, including a canopy over the bed, wood fireplace - you can't beat the crackling of a real fire, extremely large en-suite with a large walk-in shower with jets all around you! In the morning we enjoyed a gourmet breakfast brought to our room where you can enjoy it on your own private deck overlooking the ocean, all while remaining in your housecoat! We were also lucky that at the time we were there there was also a school of dolphins swimming in the bay! There are also a number of activities you can choose if you so wish or you can just lounge all day. We rented kayaks right at the hotel and they were brought down for us by our host, Chris. We also enjoyed a hike in the lush forest, also a great place for mountain bikers. In the evening we had a game of pool in the club room and watch a movie all by ourselves in their deluxe surround sound theatre!
We will definitely return with our children next time and perhaps rent out their tree house which is great for families. Our boys love the ocean - combing the beach and diving down and collecting the biggest starfish I have ever seen from dark purple to orange - just amazing! You will definitely enjoy your stay!
