Botanical Getaway Guest House

Our family of six had a comfortable stay at Botanical Getaway. It's walking distance to the bustling pub but also feels very private overlooking a grassy slope down to some berry bushes where we saw deer. There's a fire pit and the night sky is gorgeous on a clear night since there's virtually no light pollution in the area. The beach at the end of the trail is worth exploring at low tide, as there are caves, including one that travels through to another beach. The trail down there is a little overgrown, and steep at the end, but not bad at all. The washing machine at the house is wonderfully huge and works very well. Everything was clean, and there's ample parking. All the amenities are good. Finally, I appreciated the hospitality of Maria and Peter. Peter's family has owned the property since 1932. Thank you so much, I would love to come back and get to know the Port Renfrew area better.

A very lovingly restored and kept small house that makes a perfect location for a couple or small family. We stayed three days earlier this month and really enjoyed it. The amenities are great - dishwasher, fridge, stove, microwave, washer/dryer and satellite TV. Price is very reasonable and a very short drive to the Park and hiking trailheads. The oceanfront down the hill is beautiful especially at sunset.

The only thing that might make it even better is if there was a land line for local or emergency calls as this location has no cell service. The wireless works well though and the owners were always home at their house next door. As is often the case with these rentals people have left a lot of books there for reading if you don't want to go outside on a rainy day.

We have been coming up to Port Renfrew for many years and my wife and I always stay at Botanical Getaway. The location is very private, yet close to government wharf, pubs and Botanical Beach. The house itself is very comfortable and fully equipped for our weekend getaways. We love the trail down to the gorgeous private beach, just a couple of minutes away. Great sunsets!

This weekend, we kayaked in the estuary of the San Juan River. What a great way to spend a day, saw a herd of elk along the river. Will be back soon. Thanks Peter!
