5 days and a wedding
This picturesque property provided ample space for our group of nine. The hosts were exceptional in communication, promptly addressing any queries or issues. Nestled in a serene countryside setting, the lodge is conveniently just a 10-minute drive from town. Our intimate wedding ceremony and five days of family time were made memorable by the well-equipped kitchen, grill, and smoker—ideal for preparing all our meals efficiently. The individual bathrooms in each room, along with two extras downstairs, added to the convenience. The added bonus of a well-stocked bar made crafting cocktails a delightful breeze. 5 stars would recommend.

Port Alberni Resort
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely resort. Everything was as advertised. Lots of amenities for the 7 of us. Our only issue was with highway 4 (Parkville to Port Alberni) which was temporarily closed due to road work. We didn't use TV while at the resort, but it would be nice to have instructions for using the remotes which are different from the ones we were used to.

Great 👍
Overall the children had a blast. Only downside is the air conditioner doesnt reach parts of upstairs so be prepared to have a little warmer temperature in some rooms. Everything else were great. No complaints! They even provide some pool toys, also see some deers, its great.
