Gorgeous new Ocean View Studio Suite at The Cottage at the Cove Telegraph Cove
Enjoy spectacular ocean views at The Cottage at the Cove Studio Suite. You just might see Killer Whales, Humpback Whales, the odd Minke Whale, Dolphins, Porpoises, Sea Lions, and Sea Otters swimming by. There are also Bald Eagles, Deer and more that you can see right from the comfort of your room. Some of the most gorgeous sunsets ever are able to be seen from the oversize windows designed to capture the views of the ocean and mountains. The suite was completed in May 2024 and features high 8'3" ceilings throughout the unit. The cabinets are topped with luxurious quartz counters, residential fridge/freezer, stove, oven, microwave and all you need to bring in is your food and drink. If you don't feel like cooking the Killer Whale Cafe and the Saltery Pub offer great food and drinks and they are only a short walk from your room. The bathroom features an oversized shower with porcelain tiles and glass rolling shower door. The property and suite is tastefully decorated with the ocean in mind with nice touches like nautical pictures and ornaments, real used fish net floats, old weathered rope and old rough boards and logs from Telegraph Cove. There is a permanent queen bed and if you need additional bedding , we just added a sofa "Hide a Bed" for an extra couple adults or children. We are located a short walk from the Historic Telegraph Cove in the residential area, but far enough away to be very quiet and relaxing. It is close to many walking trails and a short drive to a few local lakes up in the mountains. There is a private barbecue area with a table and chairs for those evenings you want to take in the views and fresh air. The suite has free parking for your vehicle and also free wifi. You can stream on the large new flat screen TV. If you are looking for Bear, whale and nature watching we can connect you with the right people. If you are looking for world class fishing, whale watching and Grizzly Bear Watching, Telegraph Cove is where you want to be. We are the Gateway to the Broughton Archipelago, BC's largest marine park and the mountains offer some of the most incredible wildlife for your viewing pleasure. If you are looking to charter a private luxury cruise around the area or a fishing adventure we have a brand new 2825 Kingfisher boat loaded with amenities including a private bathroom with flush toilet, heated cabin, fridge, dinette area and all the latest in electronics and safety gear. We have binoculars on board and a high end non skid back deck for viewing the scenery and wildlife. The captain has over 40 years experience in the area and plans to be fully licensed for the 2025 season. We highly recommend you book a Tide Rip Grizzly Adventure Tour as well as Prince Of Whales, Whale watching. They are both first class companies that provide a memorable experience. Come join us at what is our favourite place on earth.

Perfect place to stay to do activities from Telegraph Cove! Short walk between the vrbo and where you leave for grizzly and whale tours. Joanne was very communicative and the place was clean and comfortable.

We had a perfect time in Telegraph Cove. The apartment was fully equipped, and Joane and Bob are wonderful hosts who made us feel truly welcome. Bob even organized a fishing trip with his neighbours for our boys – thank you again! From our kitchen window we even saw Orcas and a Bald Eagle. We highly recommend this place – it was the highlight of our trip, and we would love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay here in Telegraph Cove - beautiful suite and the setting is idyllic. We were sad to leave.Kitchen was equipped with everything you'd need, and we had the patio area with a BBQ as well. Hosts were very helpful with information and advice about the area. Being a studio suite the bedroom/kitchen/living area are all one room, but that suited our family perfectly.Watched some porpoises swimming just standing out by the end of the driveway! Took our kids out whale watching and saw orcas, humpbacks and sea otters.

Run, Don't Walk!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. My partner/I stayed here for 3 days in early June and we cannot say enough good things about this lodging or about the hosts (Bob/Joanne). We will absolutely be returning.LOCATION: ideally located on a bluff overlooking the water. We saw whales! Private, but only 5 mins walk to Telegraph Cove.AMENITIES: parking, separate entrance, comfy bed, spacious shower with good pressure, stocked kitchen, couch for reading, a grill if you want it, and the views. WOW.HOSTS: where to begin? I’ve rarely meet humans as fun/kind/generous as Bob/Joanne. They LOVE Telegraph Cove and bent over backwards to show us how magical it is. At every turn, they had recommendations, answers to our questions, and local wildlife videos! They were available with offers to help at all hours of the day/night.

Beautiful Telegraph Cove!
Had a wonderful 3 days at Bob and Joanne’s suite! It is absolutely lovely and super well equipped. Location is excellent with restaurants and tours within easy walking distance. Highly recommend the whale tour!
Our hosts went over and above in welcoming us and making our stay so enjoyable with recommendations on things to do and places to visit. Bob shares my passion for whales and had many interesting conversations with him, he even set up chairs on the cliff for us to sit and watch for the whales. We have stayed in vacation rentals around the world and have never been treated so hospitably.

Le Cottage at the cove est merveilleux. L’endroit est somptueux. Tout est neuf, terriblement propre et joliment décoré. C’est un havre de paix et de bonheur. Le plus exceptionnel reste l’accueil réservé par les propriétaires. Nous nous souviendrons toute notre vie de la gentillesse de Joanne et Bod. Nous recommandons vivement cet établissement.

Fantastic- exceptionally good hosts!
As soon as we arrived, we were given a very warm welcome by Joanne and Bob. As the accommodation is right by the sea, Bob immediately showed us dolphins and offered us two garden chairs to observe them further. We were then able to enjoy the great view straight away. When we entered the apartment through our own entrance, we were completely delighted. It was lovingly furnished and extremely well-kept and clean. Bob was approachable the whole time and enthusiastically and happily gave us lots of information about Telegraph Cove and great insights into maritime life. He was always a great host, which made our stay a holiday like being with friends. Arrive and feel at home. Many thanks to Joanne and Bob for the fantastic time. We will recommend your apartment at any time and of course we would be happy to come back.
