Vancouver Island Vacation Recommendations

Thanks Dave & Steve, much appreciated information.

I am looking at staying at Seascape Waterfront Resort on Quadra island, they have studios with full kitchens for $130 a night and the 7th night is free. Plus they have canoe and kayak rentals for free. My better half also have a cousin living in Campbell River we should visit.

If anyone knows of any nice cabins elswhere to stay at, please let me know. Probably someplace more south, victoria/nanaimo area to use as a base to explore the south.

Rory, Check out the artists and potters on quadra . There is one studio ,forget the name for the moment (south end) that has a beautiful garden with a resident artist and potter ,very nice work.Heriot House (?) used to be a great place to eat ,havent been for a while. Used to stay at Tza Kwaluten lodge on the reserve , lovely building overlooking the passage .
Cape Mudge museum is interesting and of course Rebecca Spit. As you are up in that area think of a visit to Denman and Hornby . Terrific park on Hornby ,Helliwell park. Lots of eagles etc.Gabriola just off Nanaimo has a bountiful market on Saturdays .
I will try to think of cabins to the south. There is Tigh Na Mara in Parksville and Rosebank cottages in Mill bay on the ocean........
