Loved it!

Amazing spot for couples. Three places to stay there. We had sunset room. Really nice room and you get use of the game room and media room. Hot tub is shared with other guests as well as the steam room but there would only ever be 6 people there at a time. So it’s a problem. The beach is amazing!!! Plus free use of kayaks and canoes. Water shoes life jackets provide too. There is an option to have breakfast made for you but besides that you would have to bbq n wood oven everything outside. Highly recommend to stay here as a couple.

An easy drive up the Inlet from Sechelt, hidden at the end of a country road and right on the beach we found this beautifully decorated Guest House. We visited in the Spring and had rather wet and gloomy weather, but our room was cozy and spacious and we could have enjoyed a wood burner situated in the corner of the room. The kitchen area was well supplied with a Keurig machine, microwave, electric kettle, sink and frig and a cupboard full of any dish you might need. The bed was super comfortable and there were beautifully upholstered armchairs for TV viewing. It would be even better in warmer weather as the outdoor balcony/verandah had a bar-type sitting area as well as a small table and chairs for morning coffee. The bathroom was immense … double sinks … clawfoot tub and huge shower stall, with fleecy bathrobes available. The grounds are neat and interesting with boardwalks leading to a covered gazebo, firepit area and hot tub. There are three uniquely themed guest suites, two of which are up an outdoor set of stairs and the third on ground level if mobility is an issue. The views West across the Sechelt Inlet are stunning … wonderful viewing for sunsets. Our host, Adrian, was most welcoming and accommodating and ready to share the history of the premises. Truly a peaceful, quiet place to unwind and enjoy water views and natural beauty.

It was my best friends birthday and we decided to do an over night here and then got massages in the morning. Property is quite and beautiful, private beach. Room was big with awesome shower and claw foot tub. The view from the deck was stunning. Hot tub and steam were awesome. Spa cabin on the property. They made us an amazing Dutch pancake filled with fruit. Small hideaway close to Sechelt. Was wonderful from start to finish.

What a nice discovery the Tuwanek Hotel was for us as it was our first stay. The house is beautiful and nicely located in a quiet area with access to a private beach. Amenities are fantastic. We stayed in the huge and nicely appointed Sunset suite. Breakfast was copious and delicious. I definitely want to go back soon!

Amazing place in a beautiful location! Loved watching the resident seals in the bay, orcas, bald eagle, hummingbirds, etc. so tranquil and peaceful. The use of the games room was a bonus as well as the water activities available for use. We had everything we needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay.

A charming and quiet spot in a beautiful setting. The room was spacious, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. Breakfast was delicious and served hot to our room. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, but gave us plenty of privacy. I would love to return in summer to better enjoy a sunset on the balcony, sitting in the garden, swimming at the beach, and paddling around the bay. Highly recommended if what you're looking for is comfort, quiet, privacy, and natural beauty.

The Tuwanek Hotel was one those places that when you book it you pray that it’s going to reflect what you see in the photos and descriptions. The Hôtel more than exceeded those prayers! A comfortable, elegant spot beautifully nestled into a quiet small coastal community. Amazing views from our African Queen suite deck, enjoyed the ambiance of beautiful natural gardens and landscape as well as a cleanly maintained hot tub, cold plunge (on the rocks!) and sauna. Our room was spacious, beautifully appointed with a GREAT shower and claw foot tub. Super comfy king bed, great linens and so much peace and quiet. Bonus was the delicious breakfast which we added as an option which was delivered each morning piping hot and fresh. We will be recommending Tuwanek to many friends for a great getaway option!

This property exceeded our expectations and delivered in every way. The property is very private with sweeping ocean views of the sechelt inlet. The ‘African Queen’ room was spacious with all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed our breakfast and morning coffee out on the deck watching the seals play. We especially loved the use of kayaks on property to explore the area. We did a few hikes and loved the ‘hidden grove’ trails recommended by the owner, Donna. Donna and Adrian were the most gracious hosts. They made our stay so pleasant and even went out of their way to show us how to dig for clams. We will definitely be back to enjoy this special place in the near future. Many guests we met on property had been coming back for many years and we understand why. Thank-you for a fantastic getaway. Next time we will come for longer. Cindy & Marija
