Seine Boat Inn features accommodation in Alert Bay. This 4-star inn offers free WiFi. The inn has family rooms.

At the inn, all rooms include a patio. The rooms include a coffee machine and a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries, while some rooms have a kitchen fitted with an oven. All rooms at Seine Boat Inn are fitted with a seating area and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. We were warmly greeted by Peter who very kindly upgraded us to the best suite in the Seine Boat Inn with views directly over Alert Bay. Later that evening, we saw a humpback whale just in front of our porch! Pure magic!

Each luxury room at Beaconside individually decorated and features English antiques and stained-glass windows. Bathrobes and a spacious sitting area are provided. Some may also include a fireplace, a spa bath, or a terrace. That's definitely a special place! And the magic here is done by the hotel team who are super friendly and dedicated. Breakfasts are delicious. Some people say that portions are too small, but that is strange to hear. They are medium ones (by European standards at least). Needless to say that the place itself is aesthetically pleasant, you can see it in the photos.

This adult only 110-year-old Italian mansion in historic Victoria is adjacent to the Government House and Gardens. It features a daily homemade breakfast and luxury rooms with a 2-person jetted tub.

The elegant rooms at Fairholme Manor are styled with hardwood floors and clean white walls. Each room features a TV and VCR, small refrigerator and bathrobes. Many boast 12-foot ceilings or large bay windows. This was the absolute best accommodation during our 6 weeks in North America and the best we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect, from the beginning to the end. The whole property was absolutely stunning and very well maintained. A heaven of peace. The gourmet breakfast really blew us away, it was excellent and outstanding, the best we’ve ever had. Our room was very clean and really comfortable and it had the best view as a deer family came to visit every morning. Sylvia was the perfect host, she is a such a helpful, friendly and lovely person and it was a real pleasure talking to her. Her staff was also absolutely awesome. Thank you for making our stay so special ❤️ We will definitely come back and can highly recommend the Fairholme Manor.
