Dining area with telescope for ocean viewing

Welcome

We're glad you're here

Thank you for choosing to stay with us in beautiful Campbell River — Vancouver Island's gateway to the wild.

The Seaview Suite is a bright, open-concept 3-bedroom home on an elevated lot with panoramic views of the Strait of Georgia and the Coast Mountains. Your private deck is the showpiece — mornings are something special as the sun rises over the strait, and cruise ships pass on the horizon. There's a telescope at the dining table for a closer look.

Your hosts, Julie and Dave, are lifelong locals. Dave has guided sport fishing in these waters for over 40 years. If you need fishing tips or local recommendations, don't hesitate to ask.
