Hemlock Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, oceanfront, hot tub

The Hemlock Suite is a private, top-floor, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront suite (1 king, 2 queens; about 1,100 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Sleeps 6, with an ocean-fed hot tub included and a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.

From the moment you step inside, you'll feel at home in this thoughtfully designed space. With a full kitchen, spacious living areas and fireplaces for cozy evenings, Hemlock promises a relaxing stay for you and your companions.

Set on 1.2 acres of lush greenery, with stunning ocean views and the snow-capped mountains of Vancouver Island as your backdrop, Hemlock offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.

ABOUT ARBUTUS COVE RETREAT Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape. Our four fully contained, private suites (Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka and Heron) are perfectly located between Powell River and Lund, about 15 minutes from each. Explore kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing and hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries and browse artisan markets. Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna, or gather at the beach fire pit.

THE SUITES

• Hemlock Suite (upper level): sleeps 6
• Sitka Suite (upper level): sleeps 6
• Cedar Suite (lower level): sleeps 6
• Heron Suite (studio): sleeps 2 adults

PLEASE NOTE: The Hemlock Suite is located above the Cedar Suite in house #3935. While the building is well insulated, some sound may travel between levels, so we kindly ask all guests to be mindful of noise.

AMENITIES Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat's outdoor amenities, including the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola and cozy fire pits.

• Oceanfront hot tub: included with your stay, booked by appointment. Adults only.
• Glass-panel sauna: optional add-on, $15/hour.
• Tesla Level 2 EV charger (240V): available for a fee. It has a Tesla (NACS) connector, so non-Tesla vehicles need their own adapter. We don't provide one.
• Outdoor shower and invigorating bucket splash, or take a plunge in the ocean.

Advance booking through our website is required for the hot tub, sauna and EV charger, to ensure availability and privacy.

GOOD TO KNOW

• Hemlock suits children 13 and up. Our Sitka Suite welcomes children of all ages.
• Pet friendly, with a $60 pet fee. Please note the property is not fenced.
• Free parking on the property, in front of the suites.
• The beach is pebbly and rocky, so bring water shoes if you plan to swim.
• Streaming: Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix and Apple TV+.

GETTING HERE Powell River is on the mainland but isn't connected to the provincial road network, so driving from Vancouver takes two ferries: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. In summer, reserve the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailing; reservations aren't available on the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay leg.

By air: Pacific Coastal Airlines flies from Vancouver airport, and Harbour Air flies from downtown Vancouver to Powell Lake. The Harbour Air dock is next to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, where you check in, about 10 minutes from Powell River's city centre.

YOUR HOSTS We live on the property and are happy to help whenever you need us, while respecting your privacy. We're always just a message away, by phone or text.
