Very cosy but spacious and well appointed unit close to Parksville - very quiet location We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere at the estuary. We stayed for 2 nights in March 2013 on our way from Victoria to Tofino which gave us plenty of time to look round the area and explore local marinas, lakes , beaches ,waterfalls and caves

This has to be one of the best places I have ever stayed... a little piece of paradise with everything catered for! The setting is stunning, right on the edge of the estuary, with views over the water and wildlife teeming. The room itself was beautiful and every detail attended to. The facilities were excellent, from the lovely linen and... More

Inn at Estuary is a place where you wish you had a whatever, you open the drawer and there it is. Harold and Mary Anne are the consummate inn keepers. The site is spectacular. The room is gorgeous and they are so welcoming. We stayed in four places on Vancouver Island and this was our favorite.

However if you do want to go out there is lots to do in this area. Our gorgeous suite looked out over the estuary and we could see bald eagles nearly all the... More

Harold and Mary Ann the hosts haven't forgotten anything in building this luxurious affordable B&B / vacation resort. It is built amongst a bird sanctuary As I write this review a loon flies in and lands in the... More

We really enjoyed our time at this lovely retreat. All the reviews are right on. The hosts are wonderful and very helpful with directions/planning/etc. The room was perfect and the breakfast choices were more than expected. Additionally, we especially enjoyed use of the kayaks and fresh British Columbian oysters! Hope to visit again soon!

My husband and I can't believe our luck in stumbling across the Inn the Estuary web page a few short days before taking a trip to Canada's west coast. Everything about our 3-night stay was wonderful and we'll be sure to book far in advance the next time we visit: it's sure to be in high demand once word gets... More
