Waterfront Accommodation in Alert Bay, B.C. - home of the Orca        

Alert Bay Lodge is a five room, west coast retreat lying off the pristine north-east coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. Situated on the south shore of Cormorant Island, the lodge overlooks Johnstone Strait, home to the largest population of Orca (killer whales) in western North America. Orcas are often spotted from the sundeck, which is a stone's throw from the beach. Across the Strait from the Lodge, the Vancouver Island Mountain Range rises from the shores of Vancouver Island, providing a stunning backdrop to our ocean view. The Village of Alert Bay is a ten minute walk away along the ocean road.

Cedar log in construction, the Lodge was originally a church. This legacy is reflected in the high arched cedar beams that frame the expansive common room and the former pulpit which now serves as one of our ‘conversation nooks'. The Lodge offers an expansive common room where guests can peruse the library, relax by the woodstove and exchange stories with other guests. Wireless internet is available.

"Such a peaceful place! It’s so tranquil you can hear the birds flapping their wings on the water. The eagles are magnificent – a bird to be respected. The whales may have eluded us this time, but I have no doubt I’ll be back. Being dive-bombed by a hummingbird was a pretty cool experience and simply interacting with the First Nations is something I’ll remember for a long time. Kathleen and Marvin can’t do enough for you, making the stay a true “R&R” time. Thank you."
