My friend and I had a wonderfully relaxing and quiet time at Up the Creek. We were the only ones there for two days, so we picked a great time to go! They have a fully kitted kitchen with everything avaialble to cook up your meals. We took all our own food so our two days away from the city was super inexpensive. We spent time relaxing by the fire, knitting and reading, or out walking the local area. This place is very clean. 7 minute walk (downhill) to the ocean front (bit of an incline to walk back). And Martin is a great host!

We had to keep the window shut as mosquitoes were coming in and there wasn’t a screen. So we were pretty hot The bed was rock hard. The rest was great so much thought has gone into the place and it’s so nicely done. So homey.

The friendly atmosphere and kindness of the staff who did everything possible to make my stay memorable. It felt like a home away from home—an excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas whether by car or foot. Public transport from Vancouver and around Sunshine Coast is excellent and affordable. I had a marvellous time and would have liked to stay longer than the four days I was there. I hope one day I will be back. "Up the Creek" will be top of my list to stay, relax and explore—a big thank you to Martin and Halli for the little personal touches.

We stayed in the cabin so had the quiet but also full access to the house. We don't often stay in backpapers and this was one of the best.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at - friendly, clean, comfortable and full of great information about what the area offers - and it offers a lot! Robert's Creek is a cute little artistic town with cool drift wood benches and a giant community mandala they paint every year. Cliff Gilker park is a hidden gem with easy trails and an awesome rainforest experience - magical!

An interesting stay for us. I normally wouldn’t stay in a hostel style hotel, but we needed a place somewhat last minute in a pretty specific area and this place popped up. They had a private cabin that shared the main house kitchen and bathrooms so we snagged it. It was a super lovely property! The cabin was indeed tiny but cozy is how I would describe it. The surrounding property is green and lush and doesn’t feel like it’s a block down off the main road. The owner/manager is also friendly and helpful. The main house is spacious and set up well for sharing lounge space. My only gripe, and I can barely even call it that, is that the guest kitchen could have used a sharp knife and a new non stick frying pan. I’m fussy in the kitchen and if I was staying more than a night or two would want to cook a lot more and like to have good tools. Overall the place was fantastic. We’d definitely stay again if in the area.

It's such a cozy hostel. Martin (the owner) is so friendly and informative. There are nicely corners decorated with details. We stayed in the Cherry Cabin, which is so cute like a fairly hut. Good value for the price, great location near the Roberts Creek Pier.

Loved our time here! Martin and Mel were friendly, approachable, and full of good tips of what to do around the creek. We especially appreciated the eco-friendly commitment; it was awesome to know we could explore a new place without having a negative impact on the community.

Awsome lodge with just the right balance between chilling spots and common areas. The amount of guests staying gives it life, but doesnt feel overcrowded when full. That place just makes you want to kick back and relax with a book. Great mountain biking spots right next to the lodge. Martin (the owner) and Mel are great hosts. We had the fir room and it was just the best time. Should've booked longer!

This is probably the best hostel I’ve stayed in. A beautiful home in an area which offers lots of outdoor activities, and is close by to a beach and village centre. There is plenty of space to relax both inside and outside and the perfect hostel for families as the bedrooms are close to the communal areas, so when the children are in bed, you can enjoy the evening knowing they are only a few steps away. There is no question that we would return.

Nice house. Very pleasant stay. Very quiet community. Very close to Robert Creek Beach. Walk distance. Rooms are quite small, And very close to each other. Luckily the family stayed in the next room was very nice and gentle as well. House was equipped very well. My kids loved the hammocks and jenga game in the yard.

Up The Creek Lodge is an adorable little hideaway. Martin was great and so welcoming. He was having a private party when we arrived and encouraged us to hang out and have a bite. I would totally stay here again.

If you like a musty room in which you can barely breathe, windows with no screens so you are bombarded with moths and bugs, electrical outlets with no plate covers, black mold in the windows and beds made of stiff 4 inch foam, then this place is for you! The volunteers running the place were lovely and they have attempted to make a nice atmosphere, but the place is a health hazard.
