West Coast River Lodge

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.

Just spent a weekend here with my closets friends! I cannot say enough good things! The property is amazing for mixed family groups. We had a mix of kid-less couples, first time parents, and even a small but mighty hoard of pre teens! Lots of space to gather and also find some space away hehe. River swims are a MUST but I do recommend bringing water shoes. Port Alberni is also great! There are three breweries in town we visited and a taco place!!!! Porto Taco and Twin City for the win!Can’t wait to gather the group come come back again next year :)

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!

West Coast River Lodge is an absolutely beautiful getaway. You, your family, couples or groups will have an opportunity to experience whatever you are in the mood for. Whether it is relaxing by the pool or hot tub, maybe it is hiking to beautiful lookouts or taking in some of the best fishing in Canada. It's all here and all basically in your back yard. In all my travels I've never experienced so much that is to offer without having to travel miles and miles from where I'm staying. What makes this place 5 stars is the owners/operators, they are truly wonderful people. Highly recommend and will be back.

What a place of beauty! Tucked away beside the River this home had everything we needed for a weekend away. A huge outdoor grill space, a wonderful pool and only minutes away from all the brewery’s you could ask for. Highly recommend it for any event, bachelorette weekend or a family reunion.

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!

great place for a family vacation, around 7 bedrooms and each with a bathroom, fabulous location and overall an amazing experience, would 100% go again.

Awesome place! Great people, great pool - great everything!If you are looking for an vacation home oasis on the river surrounded by trees than look no further. For a family weekend away, a retreat, a wedding - you name it, this is the place! Can't wait to go back! <3

This place is great. Everyone always loves it - from the youngest kids in our family all the way to the grand parents. There's something for everyone. There is the pool, hot tub, and sauna. You're right on the river. It's quite and peaceful. The scenery is beautiful, and there's lots of wildlife. If you like to read, the lodge has tons of places to curl up with a good book - both inside and outside. The area has lots of activities within driving distance. We like to visit Long Beach near Tofino and the caves in Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park.
