Lodges in Strathcona Regional District

"Very nice resort. Room was quiet and bed was extremely comfortable. Great pool, gym and sauna. Only used the hot tub briefly as it was very popular. Something that might help guests is if there was a 30 minute time limit for its use. One group used it for over 2 hours. Beautiful views from our rooms. My daughter has the coast view and I had the mountain view side. I had afternoon sun on my balcony and Beautiful Sunsets. The front desk was very helpful. I have a perfume sensitivity and the washed all my bedding, towels and robes in unscented soap for me. The only thing I would recommend to management is to consider changing the bathroom soap products to a local BC company with a lighter Natural scent. Thank you Naturally Pacific for a great stay!"

"Staff were pleasant and the room was well cared for and comfortable. Grounds are park-like. When I asked to confirm if the room faced the golf course and had a patio, the front desk person did not seem to know and said if the picture on the web said it did then it did. We noticed a few glitches in the restaurant with people beside us informed there was some confusion with their order resulting in a long delay, and our wait staff saying she forgot to enter one of our orders. The resulting delay affected the preparation of the other order. They did correct it. Also, someone was doing something involving a machine on the golf course at 6:40 a.m. which woke us up. Perhaps this is to be expected if staying at this type of location. "

"A stay at Painter’s Lodge feels like stepping into a legacy. Once celebrated for its refined elegance and five-star reputation, the lodge still carries echoes of that storied past, rooted in the era of West Coast sport fishing. Today, the experience is more understated: the room is clean and comfortable, though the property shows its age and would benefit from thoughtful revitalization to fully restore its former grandeur. What hasn’t faded is the warmth of the service. Staff are welcoming, creating a sense of care that elevates the experience. The highlight is breakfast at the pub on the deck; fresh, delicious, and paired with sweeping ocean views; an easy, memorable moment that reminds you why this lodge still holds its charm."
