Hidden Cove Lodge

I had a wonderful stay at Hidden Cove Lodge. The room was spotless and the bed was comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. I booked the oceanfront suite with its private outdoor patio, and it was truly the highlight of my stay. Sitting outside, I was able to watch a bald eagle soar overhead and even hear the blow of a humpback whale in the distance.

Hidden Cove is a wonderful place. We spent hours looking out over the bay and spotting wildlife of all varieties from our private deck. Several black bears frequent the cove, as well as sea otters and seals. From the deck we could hear the blowholes of humpback whales in the distance. The rooms are wonderfully spacious and the property is well kept and invites you to explore it. Telegraph Cove and Port McNeill are just a short car ride away and offer loads of wildlife tours. Sandra is a nice host and breakfast was delicious (albeit a little limited). We hope to come back here one day!

A manageable drive down a well-maintained logging road led us to the Lodge. We met Sandra who gave us our key and directed us to a separate building down on the water. When we unlocked the door, we were shocked to find ourselves inside a sparkling new, large suite with an incredible view of the Johnstone Strait. We immediately poured ourselves a drink and sat out on our balcony, listening to the waves breaking on the shore and watching the various boats go by. It honestly felt like someone had transported a modern hotel room from the city to the middle of nowhere. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Telegraph Cove or the nearby area.

Hidden cove Lodge is such a lovely property. It's in a gorgeous location with the most beautiful views. We saw a whale, black bear, otters, and a blue Jay from our deck! We really don't have enough words to describe how beautiful the property and it's surroundings are. The cabin was very comfortable and the breakfast was fresh and well made. Highly recommend staying here if you're in the vicinity!

Our stay was amazing. Our room was great and the view and the surroundings are awesome. We saw lots of deer in the garden and even a black bear who seems to be a regular visitor. One evening we watched Orcas from the patio which were in pursuit of some Withe Sided Dolphins. A spectacular spot away from it all.

Thank you, Sandra for a very memorable and welcoming experience. The room looked brand new and was simply beautiful! We also appreciated the scrumptious homemade breakfast! We had a rented Chevy Spark and had no issues coming up the driveway.

The owners and staff are friendly without flaw - Karen in particular went above and beyond throughout my stay, helping me find a charger for my phone after it died out on Orca camp, and getting me an alarm clock so I didn't miss my day trip to see bears the next morning! I stayed in a room within the main lodge. The rooms are clean, well kept, quiet and scenic, with beautiful views out across the cove to the ocean. With some local black bears around, this is a hidden gem if you want to stay close to Telegraph Cove - especially if you are heading out whale watching (I went out with Orca Dreams and stayed on their camp which I can't recommend highly enough). Telegraph Cove accommodation seemed busy and pricey, the cabins and houses on the main walkway around the marina looked great and are well located for trips but book up early). I had read reviews so contacted Hidden Cove Lodge and thankfully they had space available and booked me in. I'm so glad I stayed here! After returning from Orca camp I stayed one night at Hidden Cove, and arranged to go out on a day trip with Tide Rip Grizzley tours to see bears the next morning. What a wonderful experience. We saw a mum & cub, and a mum with 2 sons almost fully grown, foraging on rocks on the shoreline for berries and mussels. Shortly after being picked up from the Lodge jetty we saw humpbacks en route to the main area known for bear watching, and encountered dolphins, and seals on our way back. So much in one day! The guys were great and picked me up from Hidden Cove's jetty, dropping me back there in the evening. I spent another lovely evening at Hidden Cove Lodge in the peace and quiet, and enjoyed a lovely meal with super wine. It was only a short stay of 2 nights, but I cannot recommend Hidden Cove Lodge enough - a true hidden gem if ever there was one!

Super nice stay, we had a cabin overlooking the sea and we were lucky with orcas. Theres no dinner/lunch on site but breakfast with a view and personalized. The road to get there is gravel so pay attention to the weather (I feel it's in good shape tough) The only thing I would change is the fence on the balcony on our room which not a see through and blocks the views if you seat. Place is overall amazing, the owner very friendly and helped us get around.
