West Coast River Lodge

I was here for a Women’s retreat and this place is nothing short of amazing. I had been told about West Coast River Lodge and how beautiful it was but being here is a whole new appreciation for how accommodating it is for a large group.

There was 25 women and we all had our own space to explore on our own as well as common rooms that we’d come together for workshops & team work

The “cigar room” was by far my favourite closed in outdoor space with a real wood burning fireplace, accent lights, and cozy couches to relax and enjoy the sound of the river just steps away. (Where there’s salmon jumping often)

The attention to detail is what truly makes this space incredibly special. The bedrooms, the bathrooms and each room had a warm feeling that leaves you wanting to return.

The ample space on the deck accommodated all of us laying down for a sound bath under a full moon.

I will 100% be coming back to West coast lodge for events.

Marnie was extremely accommodating and answered all of our questions in prompt timing.

Thank you so so much for the amazing time.

I stayed at West Coast River Lodge and it exceeded my expectations. The property is incredible, located right in the river. We watched salmon swimming upstream and fishermen trying to catch them. The accommodation was fantastic with the main lodge, swimming pool and hot tub and multiple out buildings. I highly recommend staying here for any large event!

We had the most amazing wedding at the Lodge! I can't rave enough about our hosts and how much they did to make our special day easy. Everyone loved the grounds with lots to do. We cant recommend staying here enough.
Thank you so much M&S!

Incredible place to host the Dualistic Unity Retreat. The lodge created the coziest environment for our group to relax in and soak in the fresh nature and air. Love that all the bathrooms had handsoap available. The beds were extremely comfortable. There was so much firewood ready that all of our bonfire needs were satisfied greatly. We got great use out of the furnace in the gazebo and the chimney in the living room. The hot tub was amazing as well. The only thing I think could be improved is the sauna was not 100% insulated. It never got to sweat-drenching temperatures and my feet were always cooler than the rest of my body. This is only a seasonal problem however! I'm sure it'd be fine in the summer.

A hidden gem in the heart of Vancouver Island, the environment of the West Coast River Lodge is the definition of peaceful and welcoming. We spent a week here with close friends and it felt like heaven on earth. The owner's of the lodge are wonderful and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We'll definitely be back!
