About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Set A Course For Fun; Stay In The Boathouse

The Boathouse is aground on a quiet lane-way on just over 13 acres.
It is a short .5 km to Englishman River Falls, a 15-minute drive to Parksville, a 10-minute drive to Coombs, and 11 minutes to Hwy 19.
It is no secret; that our location is close to copious amounts of fun things to do, see and taste.
We are very "covid19" conscious and take extra care in cleaning to ensure your safety.

Cute and equipped
This was a lovely little cottage, and a great home base for exploring the area. The suite was clean and well-equipped, including thoughtful touches on the host's part that made me feel most welcome.

Bunny haven
If you love nature this is the hidden gem for you! So many bunnies, deer and squirrels on the property to watch play and the area is extremely quiet. Would be an awesome spot if you have kids! Very unique and Margaret was so kind and lovely.

Respite in the forest
We enjoyed the quiet of the forest while spending 4 nights in the Boathouse in Errington. Our accommodation was clean and well stocked and we appreciated the communication with the owner. So lovely to sit in the yard and enjoy the birds singing and the friendly rabbits.We look forward to another visit.

Cute Boathouse
We enjoyed our stay in this cute little cabin. The host left lovely little treats and the kids loved the steering wheel in the kitchen. The location worked great for us as well.

Cozy cottage with great location
A stone's throw from Englishman River Falls swimming hole. Friendly rabbits and deer on site. A short drive to Coombs and the local Farmer's Market. This place is cozy and has all of the ammenities to make my family feel special. Perfect for summer as there are mature trees for shade during the hot summer months. They welcomed us with a fruit bowl and lovely chocolate bars. I will book there again!

Unique lovely little property!
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the boathouse! We initially had some trouble with our check-in, but were able to eventually get in touch with the host, who helped us out promptly. The property is a very unique spot with boat themed decor in a cozy wood cabin feel. The property sits within a campground with quite a few other properties, which is something we didn’t know when we booked the place. The wild bunnies around were quite a cute sight as well!

Arrived to a welcoming party of two rabbits and a woodpecker. Wonderful to wake up in the morning to the sounds of the ravens calling. The community of other residents were very welcoming and friendly. The site manager was very attentive and accommodating. A wonderful relaxing time.
