Heron Suite at Arbutus Cove Retreat, studio for 2, hot tub

The Heron Suite is a private studio for 2 adults (double bed, 1 bathroom, about 500 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Set slightly back from the beachfront for added privacy, with a partial ocean view and easy beach access. An ocean-fed hot tub is included, with a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.

This charming, cozy open-concept space features a kitchen, a living area and a fireplace for relaxed evenings together. Enjoy sunrise coffees or storm-watching from the shared sunset deck by the beach.

Perfect for romantic escapes, solo wellness retreats, or as an add-on suite for wedding groups.

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, and thoughtfully designed to offer both privacy and community. 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.

• Glass-panel sauna: optional add-on, $15/hour.

• Pet friendly, with a $60 pet fee to cover extra cleaning. 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.

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.
