Tuwanek hotel has gorgeous views from the top floor rooms and is incredibly romantic at sunset. Stayed in the Casablanca room and the massive room has a king bed, full body shower and claw foot tub. The hotel also allows you to use their Kayaks & paddle boards on the water in their backyard. This place has a very unique setup for their hot tub underneath a bunch of grape vines that add such a cool atmosphere while enjoying the tub. There's also a steam cave, bbq, smoker, multiple areas to relax and a firepit. Highly recommend staying here for your anniversary or romantic getaway.

This place is an absolute dream. If you're interested in a cozy atmosphere not far away from town, this is it. You found it. We stayed at the sunset Beach suite, which gave you access to their game room. It has a mini fridge, a bar, a pool table, and a home theater room. It is well stocked with board games, fishing gear, as well as a couple of guitars should you be inclined to play. If you're the outdoors type, there are numerous hikes you can embark on not very far away. There's a private access to the beach. The water socks, kayaks, canoes, life jackets, are all within reach for you to use. Give it a chance, and you'll likely be planning your next trip here as soon as you arrive.

What a nice discovery the Tuwanek Hotel was for us as it was our first stay. The house is beautiful and nicely located in a quiet area with access to a private beach. Amenities are fantastic. We stayed in the huge and nicely appointed Sunset suite. Breakfast was copious and delicious. I definitely want to go back soon!

Amazing place in a beautiful location! Loved watching the resident seals in the bay, orcas, bald eagle, hummingbirds, etc. so tranquil and peaceful. The use of the games room was a bonus as well as the water activities available for use. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

Loved everything about this place! Beautiful and quiet, it had everything I could have asked for as a solo traveler. I stayed in the Casablanca room. The bed was so comfortable! The clawfoot bathtub was such a treat, and the shower was lovely too. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and effort into every part of this room. The little touches they provide like chocolates, bath salts, robes, water filters, etc. really make you feel pampered. The whole vibe is soothing. I spent a lot of time on the patio deck taking in the gorgeous view and just listening to the sounds of nature. I also spent time walking on the beach. It was exactly what I needed for a mental reset. I would love to come back and I hope to do so soon.

Loved it!

Amazing spot for couples. Three places to stay there. We had sunset room. Really nice room and you get use of the game room and media room. Hot tub is shared with other guests as well as the steam room but there would only ever be 6 people there at a time. So it’s a problem. The beach is amazing!!! Plus free use of kayaks and canoes. Water shoes life jackets provide too. There is an option to have breakfast made for you but besides that you would have to bbq n wood oven everything outside. Highly recommend to stay here as a couple.

A charming and quiet spot in a beautiful setting. The room was spacious, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. Breakfast was delicious and served hot to our room. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, but gave us plenty of privacy. I would love to return in summer to better enjoy a sunset on the balcony, sitting in the garden, swimming at the beach, and paddling around the bay. Highly recommended if what you're looking for is comfort, quiet, privacy, and natural beauty.

We spent three very relaxing days in this property. The hotel has only three rooms and therefore is quiet. Direct beach access with all the equipment provided for a fun Canadian experience like kayaking, snorkelling, swimming, standup paddling etc. the host is welcoming, the rooms big with balcony. The bathroom is spacious with great shower and bathtub. The room has a coffee maker, fridge, cups, glasses, plates and silverware. We enjoyed this hotel a lot and can it highly recommend.

The Tuwanek Hotel was one those places that when you book it you pray that it’s going to reflect what you see in the photos and descriptions. The Hôtel more than exceeded those prayers! A comfortable, elegant spot beautifully nestled into a quiet small coastal community. Amazing views from our African Queen suite deck, enjoyed the ambiance of beautiful natural gardens and landscape as well as a cleanly maintained hot tub, cold plunge (on the rocks!) and sauna. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed with a GREAT shower and claw foot tub. Super comfy king bed, great linens and so much peace and quiet. Bonus was the delicious breakfast which we added as an option which was delivered each morning piping hot and fresh. We will be recommending Tuwanek to many friends for a great getaway option!

This property exceeded our expectations and delivered in every way. The property is very private with sweeping ocean views of the sechelt inlet. The ‘African Queen’ room was spacious with all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed our breakfast and morning coffee out on the deck watching the seals play. We especially loved the use of kayaks on property to explore the area. We did a few hikes and loved the ‘hidden grove’ trails recommended by the owner, Donna. Donna and Adrian were the most gracious hosts. They made our stay so pleasant and even went out of their way to show us how to dig for clams. We will definitely be back to enjoy this special place in the near future. Many guests we met on property had been coming back for many years and we understand why. Thank-you for a fantastic getaway. Next time we will come for longer. Cindy & Marija
