We rented Chalet #10 for 3 nights on Thanksgiving weekend. Quiet, 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathrooms. Spacious for our party of 4 with a dog. Spacious living room, full equipped kitchen, clean., comfortable beds. The hot tub on the balcony was a treat in October.  The best part is the views of the harbour. Sunset was spectacular.  Many hikes around the area.  Outdoor pool was closed for the season. Great quiet getaway.

Super Fall Weekend!

This place is a hidden gem. Form the moment we arrived Linda was super helpful and kind. The room we got was motel 3. It has all you need. We went with my family and can’t wait to go again. The pool is perfect. The grounds are kept clean.

Thank you so much for the great mini vacation.

Family vacation.

We have stayed here in the marina with a boat and also rented a cottage and it has been absolutely perfect. However, we never had enough guests to try the Chalet but finally did this year 3 couples. The cottages are great but the Chalet is perfect:
There are rooms on 3 levels: 1 in a loft, two on main floor and 2 in basement. Hint: on a realy hot day the basement is still cool.  There is a large hot tub and several dining areas and a huge kitchen. My guess is the Chalet can hold about 5 couples comfortably. I cannot say how perfect, clean and well provided this Chalet is. We have stayed in 4 and 5 star hotels in Milan, Paris, Munich, Venice, Buenos Aires and this is one of the best. You are directly above the ocean but it is very quiet. 

Jeff, the owner/manager 9is absolutely accommodating and treats you as if you are the only guest ever and is so proud of the resort he will take time to show you upgrades. We have the resoursec to travel any where in the world and live in Vancouver but this is one of our favorite.

Pender Harbour Resort - Chalet

We stayed in cabin 5 for a couple of nights. Recommend booking in advance for a good spot. The cabins are a great experience, would probably recommend it over yurts or motels. Staff was pretty helpful, and we took a boat out into the harbour in the morning. The cabin floor is a bit slanted, probably due to bad foundation, or general shifting of the ground. However, the place was clean, which is really important right now with the pandemic. Very relaxing place to be

Great trip, friendly staff

We stayed in cabin #8. The cabin was very clean. The kitchen has a range, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster and unfortunately no microwave. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils.
The bathroom is full size with tub and shower. The bathroom has plenty of counter space. 
Besides cabins the resort has sites for camping and RV's with washrooms with showers and laundry facilities.
The marina offers moorage on nice docks. 
The resort is conveniently located on the B.C. Sunshine coast between Secret Cove to the South and Egmont to the North. Madeira Park is nearby for groceries at the local IGA supermarket, liquor store and restaurants at nearby resorts. 
Madeira Park is near a coastal hike to Frances Point which we enjoyed.
The highlight of our Sunshine coast stay was the hike to Skookumchuck Narrows/Rapids in Egmont. We caught the high tide at the right time and saw surfer and kayakers do their thing.

Pender Harbour Resort and Marina

We just spent two nights at Pender Harbour Resort and enjoyed our time there so much.  The hot tub was waiting for us when we arrived, and watching the sunset from our deck was a delightful experience.  We were looking for a quiet hideaway, and this was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the wildlife and beautiful views from our cabin.  I'm sure that in the summer it would be a busy place, but at the moment it was peaceful and quiet.  We loved our cabin that had amazing views, was very roomy for the two of us, and had everything that we needed.  But it is that hot tub that we miss the most!

Such a perfect hideaway!

We stayed in Cabin 10 and it was perfect for us. We like to take off for the night with requirements of privacy, clean room, clean hot tub. This met those requirements. We visited in early March on a Monday night and there was not many people there; admittedly if the Chalet had been booked we wouldn't have had as much privacy, but we both agreed we wouldn't have cared as we loved this place. Here's the rundown:
Kitchen: microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, propane stove, fridge, enough dishes and cutlery for 6 if I remember right. Pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc.  it's well stocked.  They have packaged coffee, sugar, s&p packs, a couple of basket filters if you bring your own coffee.
Bathroom: small but works, single shower that is small but workable. tons of towels and mini soaps, extra tp. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. Shower takes a minute or two to figure out but once you do it's a pretty decent shower.  Hot water and good pressure.  
Eating area: Large table (seating for 4) overlooking the marina and big windows.
Living room: pull-out couch, TV (I think you have to pay extra for cable but don't quote me on that) They do offer free wi-fi which I prefer anyway. You can bring a usb with movies etc on it and that would work. There are plenty of usb plugs for charging. There's also a chair and an armoire stocked with extra pillows and blanket. Glass sliding doors to the patio.
Bedroom: 1 queen and 1 single, each with double pillows. Beautiful duvet, No closet or dresser but does have a luggage stand (if you take the extra pillows (2) and blanket out of the armoire and put them on the luggage rack, you then have the armoire for your clothing).
Communications with Robin, the host, were excellent and for our arrival, had the place warmed up and hot tub ready to go.  Can't wait to return and try out some fishing!!!
The resort is about an hour from Langdale ferry and you'll want to pick up groceries in Gibson's (IGA), Sechelt (Independent-our choice) or Madeira (IGA).

Can't wait to return

We rented a slip for our sailboat for 4 nites and slept on the boat so we have no review of the yurts, cabins or tent sites.The location was great and the dock is only a couple years old and has power and water.There is a very good little store at John Henry's resort store/ fuel station /marina which is an easy row away.The showers are pretty bad. the stalls are tiny and cost 3 loonies/ 5 min but the water went from scalding to freezing so much of the 3 minutes were taken just adjusting water.Management were apologetic when one woman was left with hair full of shampoo when the shower cut off.We had some mechanical issue on the boat and I asked if we could delay checkout for an hour but they refused because the slipped was booked,but there were several empty slips I could have moved to,or perhaps move to the side of the dock or some other option.The marina was quiet although there was some partying in the cabins later than the posted 11pm noise curfew that might have been annoying to those nearby.This place was otherwise clean and people staying there were friendly.Pender harbor itself is a scenic,well protected harbor with some good trails nearby for hiking.There is a grocery store about 1/4 mile from the Maderia dock accross the harbor (approx 0.8mile) and they have an arraignment so you can take the shopping cart of provisions to the dock and leave the cart at dock. Also a chandlery who were very helpful right there next to the Maderia dock . It is definitely worth a stop!

great spot bad showers

We stayed in the big waterfront chalet and loved it.  Hot tub, giant deck, high ceilings, big windows.  Three bedrooms plus a loft would comfortably sleep 4 couples (though whoever sleeps in the loft is overlooking the living room).

Staff was friendly and helpful. Checkout was 10am which is a pain.  Place was clean and the kitchen was stocked with basics, but the furnishings are quite dated and you need to bring condiments etc.  

We would definitely stay again.

Garden Bay is a nice little summer community, totally dead in winter.  Pub is a 20 minute walk from this resort, closed in winter, so you need to drive to Madeira Park for food.

4-Bedroom Chalet

We were coming through on motorcycles and needed  over night accommodation. After several phone calls we found this place.
A Yurt was the only option so we took it, In general the concept is okay however it felt more like a money grab, no running water or bathroom, no towel or basic hotel type supplies and the bathroom facilities were a good distance away down a gravel pathway. Bed and bedding were perfect.
With a little imagination this could be great, I think the owner needs to stay here and pretend to be a guest to find out what is really needed.

The site guy, Robin was outstanding and tried really hard to keep us happy. Don't get me wrong were not unhappy , it just could have been better with little effort.
