The Orca suite is one of 4 cabins located at this resort. This was one of THE BEST cottages we have EVER stayed at. Everything is top notch and so very comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and watching the birds in the estuary directly behind the cottage, what a view! So close to everything in Campbell River, yet the feeling you are all alone in the wilderness once you enter your suite. We plan to return often. Thank you to all the staff and very well done!

To be honest I dont even want to give them one star because they were unable to tell us of the no dog policy even after we asked them multiple times over the phone, they then are very rude about it. They didnt apologize and even took a $50 fee after the refund. Not only were not friendly, but they were disrespectful

We were fortunate to get a cottage booking (Orca house) last minute after a cancellation, and we couldn't be happier that we found this place. A home away from home, it's squeaky clean and has all the comforts you'd expect. The hot tub was a really lovely feature although the water was just a tad murky - but it wasn't enough to take a star away... we had a lovely long soak and a shower afterwards.
I think that for the price, this is everything one could ask for and then some. The staff were so friendly and obviously take pride in their work. The sunsets were gorgeous, and the location is peaceful
