Book Refuge Cove hotels

Right on the water. Cruise ships right in front of the room

I made one mistake when booking this hotel: I only booked one night. Honestly, I should’ve just forwarded my mail and stayed for the week (or forever—who’s counting?). First, let’s talk pet paradise. The massive, perfectly manicured lawn made my dog feel like royalty. Not only was it ideal for romping, sniffing, and generally showing off, but they even provided bags and bins—which means no frantic pocket-patting while pretending to be a responsible pet owner. The rooms? Spotless. The thermostat was so easy to control, even I couldn’t mess it up (and I’ve lost arguments with microwaves). The bed was cloud-level comfy, and the hot water didn’t require an engineering degree to figure out. Now, let’s discuss the waterfront location. Stunning. It’s the kind of place where you stare off into the distance, pretending you’re in a movie montage, while your dog drags you toward a seagull. Breakfast? Complimentary and actually good—which is rare. Nothing like free waffles to make you feel like a genius for choosing this place. And the staff? Friendly, helpful, and not once did they look at me like I was a crazy person for traveling with a suitcase full of squeaky toys. In short: Highly recommend. Book the week. Bring the dog. Bring your appetite. Bring a change of address form just in case.

While this is obviously an older property, and they are working on upgrades, it has a charm to it too. It is well located, affordable, friendly, and comfortable. Perfect for a budget stay! I will be back here again.

So clean, and friendly staff!

Have stayed here many times, property has changed hands and they are busy with maintenance, hopefully it will be as good as new.

Amy (host) & Des were very friendly and helpful. Our stay was just what we needed, right beside ferry and the view was incredible. We had a wonderful stay at High Point Resort on Quadra Island! Amy was incredibly accommodating and made us feel right at home with her warm and friendly demeanor. Her sister, Des, was just as welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. The hospitality truly enhanced our visit, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
