West Coast Wilderness Lodge

Can’t say enough good things about our wonderful family vacation here. We stayed in the newly opened villas which was absolutely perfect for our family. The villas were clean, spacious, well stocked with all necessary items, and had the most breath taking views. We spent most of our week on the deck because we just didn’t want to leave our gorgeous view. What really stood out to us throughout our trip was how friendly and accommodating every single staff member we encountered was. Lucas the manager was super responsive and helpful in ensuring we were able to book the room we wanted. All of the front desk staff and restaurant staff were amazing. We would absolutely love to come back again. Thank you!

We stayed at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge for 3 days and two nights. We had a wonderful time. We were in cabin 603, with a very beautiful view of the ocean. In fact, it was quite spectacular. The staff at this hotel are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make you happy. We had wonderful meals, with wonderful servers. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. I can't recommend the West Coast Wilderness Lodge strongly enough. We live full-time in Garden Bay, so this was an excellent staycation!

We loved the accommodation. Everything was clean and smelled fresh. We booked this place because it’s pet-friendly, which we really appreciate. But it was confusing and frustrating that the restaurant patio isn’t pet-friendly. Almost every patio in downtown Vancouver allows dogs, and so does this accommodation, so it didn’t make sense that the patio doesn’t. What are people with dogs supposed to do? I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my dog alone in a new place, so she had to wait in the car while we ate. The food at the restaurant was good, though.

So peaceful, I didn’t want to leave Stayed at West Coast Wilderness Lodge and honestly, it was exactly what I needed. The whole place has such calm, grounding energy. Nature all around, quiet mornings, and beautiful views everywhere you look. The food was so good (like, unexpectedly good), and I felt really taken care of the whole time. Everything just felt easy and warm. Would definitely go back when I need to reset.

10/10 experience this past week at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge! My partner and I stayed in the new “villas” and our room was incredible with an even better view from the top floor. Luke and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience while making our time there as enjoyable as possible. I would definitely recommend checking out the Adventure Centre which is part of the lodge- there is a selection of newer high end Seadoos that you can rent and go explore the ocean with- definitely a thrill. If you are considering a get away on the Sunshine Coast don’t sleep on this place!

We enjoyed a two night stay in the new condos of the resort. It was nothing short of spectacular. The view takes your breath away and the accommodations are first class. The fine dining is not to be found in Vancouver Island and the staff were on their game. You will not be disappointed.

We were the 2024 winners of the Signature Package Instagram contest and we enjoyed and appreciated our 2 night stay IMMENSELY. What an experience!! Here is a long overdue, official review. We were greeted with a cocktail and enjoyed it on the beautiful deck (I can't imagine how stunning it would be when the wisteria blooms!), which was such a great start to our getaway! The views were breathtaking and unforgettable - panoramic, tranquil, and magical! The staff were hospitable, genuine, and welcoming and the restaurant staff were knowledgeable. Our room boasted stunning views and we spent many hours sipping coffee and wine on the deck enjoy the sites of the smell of the ocean, and the sound of the birds.. The room was spotless, the bed was comfy, the tub was appreciated and the serenity was exactly what we needed. A rainbow on our first evening was the icing on the cake!! The food was next level and we enjoyed every bit immensely. Dining at inlets is an experience in itself. Again, the restaurant has stunning views and a great ambiance. We enjoyed the coziness of sitting inside for breakfast, as well as dining on the deck - I would recommend both! Fresh, West-coast inspired dishes that were plated beautifully with an attention to detail we appreciate. Everything was so flavourful! We had a hard time deciding what to eat - everything we tasted was a 10/10, truly! What stands out all these months later is the chowder, seafood linguine, scallops, and I think tartar and carpaccio (we love seafood and it's done well here). The menu is smaller, but it changes so if you are here for a while there will be new things to try. The cocktails were delicious and varied, and the wine list was excellent. We also highly recommend the boat tour with the Egmont Adventure Centre to Princess Louisa Inlet and the majestic Chatterbox falls. You get outfitted in warm suits and a little charcuterie lunch was included during the stop at the stunning chatterbox falls. These are some of the BEST views in BC and relatively untouched! We were treated to a float plane ride back, which was so fun (and would have been worth the splurge) although the zodiac boat ride on the way in was also exhilarating and informative. If you cannot manage to stay at the WCWL overnight, a visit for a meal here on the way to a ferry or a day trip is completely worth the drive! You will not regret the views! This giveaway getaway was adventurous, relaxing, luxurious, and fulfilling and we can only hope to come back one day. We heartily recommend the WCWL! Thank you so much!!

Amazing location with with fantastic views of Jarvis Inlet. The onsite restaurant is the other main attraction as the food is amazing and the staff enhance all aspects of the experience. Highly recommend this spot.

Just in from a lovely brunch here. You can not beat the view. Spectacular. The brunch menu is small but should be something for everyone. The four of us all enjoyed our meals. Special mention for the burrata toast - delicious. Prices reasonable. Would recommend

I purchased a voucher for a 2 night stay and a zodiak tour a few years ago and found it recently. I contacted the hotel to ask about redeeming it and if there's anything they could do. They replied and said it had expired and that's it, nothing else they could do. I replied stating that in BC, vouchers & gift cards cannot expire, I sent them the relevant sections of the BC Consumer Act, and asked again if there's anything they could do to help. They replied and said it was expired and nothing they could do about it. I had thought they would credit the amount paid towards a stay, or helped in any way, but they didn't. They ignored several other emails, including emails requesting the legal owner, and the address for filing of a claim. The only recourse I've had to do now is lodge complaints with the Consumer Protection BC, and file a law suit to recover the amount I paid. I'm out from a voucher that was worth $500. 0/5 - Would not recommend.

We had been the the Inlet restaurant before and it was truly wonderful and well worth the price so we decided that we would go there again on our way to Princess Louisa as we came by boat. We were seated and given a menu showing a four course dinner with no prices. We asked if this was the only option we were told that we could order off the menu and didn't have to do the four course option. Same menu no prices. We ordered an appetizer to share and asked if it was big enough to share and told that it was. We ordered a caprese salad as before as well as rack of lamb and beef tenderloin. We have attached pictures from our time before as well as pictures from our recent visit. The caprese salad came first and was $25. It is the smallest salad I have ever seen. Next came the entrees. The time before there were 3 lamb chops this time two. The time before there was a big tenderloin this time it was slices and way overcooked. We had wine by the glass and it was ok. To say we were disappointed it putting it mildly. Not sure we will return again unless their quantity and quality improve significantly. Their prices definitely went way up! We have included pictures and it is evident the difference between the two visits.

I booked a Play and dine for lunch on Aug. 26th for three of us from Vancouver. I also called the restaurant to confirm that there was room for us for lunch that day. I was told that it wasn't a problem and that as long as we were there before 2pm we were fine. After driving more than 3 hours to get there, we were told that the restaurant was closed for a wedding! Why did they book us for that day at all? No apology, no nothing. They suggested we eat down the street even though the wedding hadn't started yet and nothing was even set up for it. They even went so far as to say "There's nothing we can do". We had pre-paid for the lunch which was part of the package. So much for hospitality. They did absolutely nothing to try to resolve the problem and/or to get us back there again to make up for their huge error in booking reservations for that day at all. Terrible, terrible customer service.
