Beautiful 180 degree view of the straight, the ferry dock and beach. Close to the amazing museum, Coho Joe’s. The bakery and Co-op store. We took in the Bere Point trail and the lighthouse. We had a good time despite the somewhat rainy weather. Interesting place.

Peace and serenity in a photographer's paradise!
Sointula is a photographer's paradise! My only regret is that we only stayed for one night. Our room had a water view that you could watch all day long. The beds were comfortable, and the staff were friendly and courteous. There is a kitchen that guests can use to prepare their own food. The water in the hotel is very soft and drinkable. We are hoping to return again, this time staying for a few days of rest and relaxation!

Great location, comfortable room
Hotel was right on the waterfront and near the Ferry Terminal so perfect if you needed to get an early ferry ride. Restaurant was overlooking the water. Rooms were comfortable.

This quirky little hotel was a lovely stop on our trip to Malcolm Island. It's an older property, but it had everything we needed at the end of a long day of exploring. It was evident that the owners are working hard on updates, upgrades and renovations. My personal favourite was the crocheted afghans on the chairs on the deck. Such a homey touch!

Great stay. Room was brand new and clean. Bed very comfortable. Awesome patio. Only down points were hearing early ferry horns and a bathroom fan that we couldn't seem to turn off. Recommended.

We loved the personal attention by the staff and sitting on the balcony in front of the sea. We also appreciated the access to the kitchen (which we used) and the laundry (which we did not need).

All wonderful except the food. Butter chicken? maybe they should buy a Presidents Choice and thaw it when necessary. Bill didn't like his either. I think his was a salad, not sure. Coho Joes food was much better. and I forgot to say the fridge wasn't working .The bed, view, bathroom , etc were A1. also, the staff.
