We stayed for two nights over the weekend. We really enjoyed the Inn; the breakfast was lovely, with lots of choices depending on people’s tastes. The grounds are beautiful with lots of spots to relax and enjoy nature. The rooms were quiet, well appointed and very comfortable! There’s also coffee and tea available in a sitting room. The hosts were very kind, and all our needs were met and exceeded! I would certainly recommend staying here if there’s a vacancy!
Excellent stay. Friendly hosts who ensured we were well looked after. Clean and tidy.
Cedar Wood Lounge is a nice bed and breakfast with a friendly older landlady and lord. Rooms are large, nice garden. Breakfast is served as small intercontinental buffet with e. g. fresh bread, yoghurt, handmade muffins (packet in plastic bags …🤔), but no warm breakfast (like scrambled eggs or similar) is offered - B&B is relative experience so I had expected a bit more for breakfast
My husband and I stayed at Cedar Wood last week for 2 nights. Wished we could have stayed longer. Our hosts were friendly, helpful in giving advise on local attractions, and determined to ensure all was perfect for our stay. The property is lovely (wished we had time to enjoy the outdoors more) and our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. We had access to a small refrigerator, coffee machine, water, and a small sitting room on the second floor. We didn't take advantage of the main floor living room (with a pool table!) as we were out hiking and seeing the sights for most of the day. We were provided a delicious continental breakfast with a great variety of food (yogurt, fruit, cereal, juice, fresh baked goods, coffee/tea) The hosts made themselves available during breakfast asking us what our plans were and offering tips on where to go and what to see. They truly care about their customers and have created a wonderful B&B experience that you should try when you are in the Port Alberni area.
It's been a while since I've had such a good experience at a hotel or a B&B. I was so impressed with this place. It was clean it was quiet. They gave us so much food for breakfast. And because we were going fishing it was a packed breakfast. And we also ordered lunch for the boat as well and again so much food. The service was amazing. My dad had forgotten our fishing licenses and the owners tried so hard to help us get them so we didn't have to drive back. I know they're trying to sell but if you get a chance to stay here before they do I highly recommend it.
This was by far my favorite place we stayed on our vacation. The rooms were fantastic and very clean. Location was super convenient. The breakfast was super delicious, with baked goods, yogurts, fresh fruit and cereals. And great coffee! The best part was Tom and Marla. The sweetest and most accommodating hosts. Absolutely loved it!
This place is absolutely wonderful. I was lucky enough to get a last minute cancellation so was only able to stay the one night unfortunately. Tom & Maria are so friendly and welcoming, it feels like you've known them for years. I was traveling with my eight year old (who is very shy) and they were so kind to him. The Inn and grounds are beautiful, and so very, very well kept. Our room was lovely and the tub even had massage jets that felt fantastic after a long day of travelling. We have travelled from coast to coast and this place is by far our favourite place that we've stayed. I'd have paid twice their nightly rate and still felt I got more than my money's worth. So nice to have such a wonderful stay at such a wonderful price. Highly recommend staying here if you're passing through Port Alberni!
Our group of 10, family and friends visiting from Australia and BC, spent two nights at the Cedar Wood Lodge. Couldn't have picked better accommodation. The hosts were very welcoming, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was provided early since we booked the day trip on the MV Frances Barkley. The Lodge and surroundings are very well maintained and the gardens lush and green. The rooms were spacious and spotless. It was great to come back at the end of the day and be able to utilize the living room with pool table. The location is perfect a little away from the city center but within a short driving distance to all amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will head back there again.
We were only there one night, but we were warmly welcomed and had a good breakfast. We were able to leave one of our motorcycles behind for a trip the next day and only pick it up in the afternoon. There are also many tips for hikes or excursions. Would love to come back.
Sorry no photos. Too busy relaxing!
A charming place. The couple Tom and Marla are super attentive and make great suggestions. I want to stay a little longer in this piece of paradise.
The accommodation is run by a very nice couple, the accommodation is fantastic. My birthday was perfect and the breakfast was fantastic.
Very pleasant and welcoming place. Very friendly and available owners The only downside is the noise from the street.
Google states this is a child friendly establishment yet on the hotel website it states no children under the age of 16. How is this child friendly?
Very great accommodation, good breakfast and very nice hosts. Absolutely recommended for a short stay!
Small, family accommodation with super friendly owners.
Beautiful location, good Breakfast and most importantly, amazing hosts! Would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place to stay. Rooms : 4/5
Very kind staff who were very knowledge about the area and gave excellent tips and suggestions which really improved our itinerary. Overall great place to stay with excellent customer service.
I believe the owners name were Tom and Marla. They are a terrific pair! They welcomed us even with out late check in. Offered for us to use the pool table and upstairs lounge area. We were about to do the Della Falls Hike. (During 40 degree weather). They had our room pre-chilled so it was a blessing to have the AC on ahead of time. The whole place is very warmly furnished and what you would expect from a 5 star lodge. Everything was clean and impeccable. They have thought of everything you could ever ask for. They also provided a nutritional breakfast with many options and fresh fruit. O, I almost forgot they recommended the best place in town for dinner and helped get us there on time as they knew the closing time! (Starboard Grill). Thanks again! We would love to come back to Port Alberni for nothing else but to indulge in the amenities of the Cedar Wood Lodge.
Tom is the nicest proprietor! Highly recommend
This is a very nice place to stop and rest. Rooms are very nice decorated with older antique style furniture. Beds are comfortable bathrooms are big with jetted bathtubs. Great after your long hike. Breakfast is included with price of the room. They have table and chairs in the dining room or eat in the garden where there is chairs or picnic table. Food is packaged separately. There is fresh fruit cups, yogurt, granola, cereal muffins and oh so very good coffee and tea. Juice is also available. They follow all Covid rules so be comfortable with that knowledge when you come.
Great place to stay with terrific hospitality!
Nice Guest House with nice hosts
Wonderful and lovely hosts at this beautiful B&B. We truly appreciated Tom and Marlas friendly help and suggestions and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast. Highly recommended to anyone looking to explore the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Thank you so much Marla and Tom!
It is a most welcoming place- the hosts, lodge, and property are extra lovely. Tom and Marla were kind, personable, and considerate- they told us about nearby dining, they handmade breakfast with love and were simply a delight. It is an amazing B&B experience!
Been before owners very nice
I can recommend it to everyone. Very nice and friendly small guesthouse.
Comfy, convenient, homey, very clean, impeccably cared for and outstanding service! You can feel the love and TLC invested here. Plus rooms that can sleep 5 at a time! Highly recommend it!
what a beautiful place. Huge yard and set up very nice. Lots of parking. And secluded as much as you can be for being in town. Back yard was amazing. Secluded and quiet. The house itself is set up perfect for a bed and breakfast. The owners live next door in an attached separate portion of the house. 8 bedrooms upstairs and a little coffee area with bar fridges. The main floor has a pool table and conference table. Also has a breakfast area. The couple are very nice people and do their best to welcome you in. I believe Tom and his wife (drawing a blank on her name) are awesome. Due to covid the breakfast had to be cold but otherwise awesome.
Good place for a meeting space
Very clean b&b, sympathic hosts, great breakfast, great location. Love this place.
Staying all week. Lovely room. Fireplace that works:bonus. Great breakfast. Thanks.
Very nice place for relaxation far from all the normal life rush. Very beautiful garden specially in May. Very friendly and willing to assist owners. We are happy staying here and suggest it to all who like quiet and cozy place to stay for couple of nights. Rooms are clean, all bath looks quite new although rooms are a bit outdated. Linen are clean but might need some bleach removal to remove old stains. Overall its a very good place to stay and I recommend it specially when comparing prices
A beautiful, small and extremely cute hotel. The owners are very nice, welcome you with open arms and try to fulfill your every wish. After just 5 minutes you feel at home and you never want to leave. There was also a very good breakfast with lots of fresh and homemade things. If it were possible we would give 20 stars and not just 5.
Well I checked in today around 6:30ish coming from 12 hour drive so I provided my credit for reservations & they want to charge me upon check in pre- authorized or cash I said Ive never been charged on check in its always been when you check out its the only place Ive ever encountered then they said something wrong with my card? ??and they said had another issue with a couple just left OMG! These couple dont know how to run business they gonna lost business if thats how they ran and treat customers of course we gonna ran away they want their money right away coz they busy in the morning and they dont their customers OMG! Besides the place wasnt maintained outside there was a pile of rotten trees and grass not cut it doesnt have a curb appeal Theres nobody in the reception these 2 old folks in the back you have to ring the bell The inside looks dingy and funny kind of moldy smell and its very dark inside The decor is very outdated I cant imagine how its looks like inside rooms The lodge looks not well maintained I would not recommend this property to friends at all The old couple not very friendly at all its like show me your money thats all they care about . Not recommended at all its very reception Dont waste your time and money
A terrific little spot! The hosts were so wonderful - welcoming, pleasant, and knowledgable about the area. I arrived after 18+ hours of travel absolutely fried. After a relaxing soak in the jetted tub and reading a book in the parlour overlooking the gardens, I was rejuvenated. For other travelers, be aware this is a B and B, not a large hotel. There were some guests that didnt understand that it is a small property with other guests. Noise levels should be considerate of others. Not that you have to be silent, but just considerate that this is a shared space. (The hosts interceded and resolved the issue in case you were worried). Breakfast was included, and was a selection of fruits, pastries, yogurt, muslei, and juice, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. So if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing, clean, and cozy place to stay definitely stay here. If you are looking for a place to have a loud party I would look elsewhere, you will be disappointed.
The best place to stay in Port Alberni. Good rooms just like home. Friendly owners who are very knowledgable of the area and attractions.
the can do attitude of the staff
Very generous hosts got a room set up for us last minute when the highway was too snowy to drive late at night. Amenities were good, really nice decor made for a homey atmosphere (plants, artwork, little fountain...) and excellent breakfast. Such a pleasant stop on our trip!
Nice quiet location, the owners were friendly... But my husband made a reservation online, and much later I was going to leave some feedback and discovered that their rates were actually quite a bit less than what my husband had made the reservation for, but the owner didnt say anything, just accepted the payment. Doesnt seem too ethical to me. And the bathroom fan didnt even work. We wouldnt stay there again.
Great place. I will stay again!
Very comfortable rooms with jet tubs and gas fireplaces, beautiful gardens, and friendly and helpful hosts, all at a reasonable price!
Nice house and service
We use their boardroom for many meetings, it is a great spot.
Nice place to stay. Very polite staff
Lovely breakfast, charming rooms, gracious hosts and a really good value halfway on the drive to Tofino, it makes great sense to stay the night for a shorter, well-rested drive the next day. Included breakfast is substantial and the coffee is really good.
A genuine treasure of a find for a peaceful night in peaceful surroundings; wonderful hosts, and a great breakfast. We will be back and, in the meantime, you will be mentioned to our friends as the best place to stay in Port Alberni - no doubt about that.
Beautiful place to relax with well manicured landscape. Great starting point for day trips to both sides of the island. Fresh baking, homemade granola, and a variety of fruit and juices for breakfast. Friendly service and awesome suggestions for activities and places to see. All around .
Incredibly warm atmosphere, welcoming hosts, and homey suites. A great stay!
Great place to stay, friendly, quiet, very nice breakfast..could not have been better.
Very accommodating hosts. Great breakfast!
Went for a meeting ..will be bacl for a stay
Stayed 2 nights. Excellent service, warm & friendly owners. Beautiful setting. Clean & quiet, well appointed rooms. Didnt get mert the resident bear but look forward to it in the future. Excellent buffet breakfast (uncooked). Good value for money.
Just the loveliest couple, they really care that you feel at home and comfortable. Excellent food, comfy rooms and warm welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend them.
Brilliantly welcoming hosts the two proprietors love their job and made our stay extra special. This home of a B&B is so accommodating as to be able to help surprise my dear one. I plan to be back one day.
Absolutely lovely owners, very attentive and accommodating. Great rooms, great service. Beautiful location.
Best breakfast. Jacuzzi tubs and amazing owners! Favorite place to stay in Ukee!
Wonderful breakfast. Kind and helpful hosts. Cozy room. Thank you Tom and Marla!
This is a pefect example of what people are looking for in a B&B. The place was perfect. The owner operators were excellent. Attention to detail was beyond expectations. My girl has a difficult time on the road but she raves about the Cedar Wood as the best. Thanks Tom and Marla.
Loved my room with the fire place and massage tub. Great way to end the night. I used the meeting space downstairs...very welcoming hosts. Recommend the strawberry rhubarb bread pudding. Mhmm
A wonderful, warm atmosphere. Very friendly hosts, comfortable beds, very clean. rooms. Delicious breakfast selection. Highly recommend this B&B!
Great location, very nice and friendly hosts, yummy breakfast, comfortable rooms. Perfect value for money
I have been there many times and have enjoyed it every time and will return in the near future.
