This was a perfect spot to spend time birding on the beach, to venture from and to just chill. We wish we'd had more time. But a return visit is on the agenda.

We had a wonderfully relaxing three days strolling the beaches, enjoying the tides and glimpsing the curious seals. As avid naturalists the location was ideal to trek a few hours amongst the gorgeously rich local forest and valley, pop back to the suite to recharge by the surf, then out for another short adventure. Botanical beach was an inspiring experiencelow tide with the early light playing brilliantly off the surf splashed rock outcrops draped in a rainbow collage of life. marine life

Terrific location on the beach. Good proximity for walking, beach combing, and watching surfers and beachside fishing. Small but clean and comfy.

The unit was exactly as advertised or better. Very thoughtfully prepared. We had a great time in Port Renfrew and have already recommended this to others.
