Mayne Island Resort

The British Columbia southern gulf islands are special by any global standard, and each of the islands has a unique character based on its geography and community. Our stay at the Mayne Island Resort allowed us to experience the best of Mayne Island. The accommodations were perfect for a great night's rest and preparing a nice meal (or taking advantage of the on-site dining room) after a day of sea kayaking in Bennett Bay, Campbell Bay to the north or waters to the south, toward Saturna Island. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool (spa area) and appreciated the easy kayak launch site on Bennett Bay and easy walking distance to the Gulf Islands National Park area along the northern shore of Bennett Bay and southern shore of Campbell Bay. We particularly enjoyed sitting on our patio in the morning savouring a cup of coffee and watching / listening to the birds. We're not birders per se, but within a half hour or so each of three mornings were able to identify (through their songs using the Merlin app) 23 to 25 different bird species including three species of swallows (Purple Martins, barn swallows, violet-green swallows), and frequently saw raptors such as bald eagles, osprey and a red-tailed hawk, along with a blue heron. ...and we sauntered down the road for a really great craft beer at Mayne Island Brewing on two afternoons. This is a not-to-be missed part of the Mayne Island visit. Overall, Mayne Island resort was a great place to unwind and find new experiences.

Room had a breathtaking view of the bay. Very peaceful and private. Easy access to the beach and nearby walking trail. Numerous Eagle, Raven, Osprey sightings as well as seals, otter, mink and deer. Our first trip to Mayne Island and we are definitely returning.

Property was very accommodating to our pet, and the swimming pool, and steam room, and hot tub verse to die for great! I only wished I tried them two days earlier in my stay, so I would have had an extra two days R&R there in the water. I’ve had an annoying neck pain in my neck for the last year, that has been bothering me. The Jet pool worked wonders on that pain, to the extent, that it is very minimal now, almost completely gone!
