Ultimate Waterfront Glamping Escape: Unforgettable Group Retreats, Pender Island

Incredible 2 acre private waterfront property with a diversity of Glamping sleeping options for everyone in your group. Ideal for QUIET family reunions, retreats, rustic weddings, or a multi-family escape. You will have almost 2 acres of space on a spectacular waterfront property that boasts a lively garden, grassy hills and beautiful arbutus in addition to some spectacular water views. The property has several accommodation options that will be just for you and your guests.

Discover the natural beauty of our waterfront estate, providing an enchanting retreat with an array of options for every member of your group. Situated just a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal, Otter Shores offers convenience and accessibility. Whether you're arriving from Tsawwassen or Vancouver Island, be sure to reserve your ferry in advance or plan to arrive early to avoid any delays.

Please note that our estate embraces a rustic glamping experience, perfect for those who appreciate being close to nature and can find joy in imperfections that may arise on an island. While power outages and water issues may occur, our team will strive to rectify any problems promptly. However, during short stays, it may not always be possible to resolve them immediately, as acquiring services and parts takes time on the island. We believe that these occasional challenges are part of the unique experience and shouldn't detract from the beauty of your escape.

Let us introduce you to the various accommodations available for your group (subject to change):

Coach House Up: An upstairs studio with a kitchen, bathroom, and majestic views. Sleeping arrangements include a queen bed and cot.

Coach House Down: An open space featuring a lounge area, fridge, sofa bed, and sofa. This is an indoor space for your group to gather.

Garden Cabin: A charming studio with a mini fridge, kitchenette, queen bed, 3-piece washroom, deck, and scenic views. Sleeping arrangements include a queen bed and cot.

BUNK: Two single beds (please bring your own sleeping bags).

Bell Tent: Experience glamping at its finest with all the comforts of a queen bed.

As a bonus, the caretaker home, typically not rented, is available for your use when you book the entire estate. This quirky 1902 house, settled over time and in need of some TLC, offers a unique charm. It features a king bed, sofa bed, kitchen, and 3-piece washroom.

Total Bed Arrangements:
King: 1
Queen: 3
Sofa Bed: 2
Single Bed: 2
Single Cot: 2
Please note that due to water shortages, the maximum occupancy is limited to 12 people.

Remember to bring your towels and kindly pack out all garbage, as this is an island environment that values environmental preservation.

Water conservation is crucial on the Gulf Islands, and we kindly ask that you minimize water wastage. Take short showers, avoid letting taps run unnecessarily, and fill the sink when washing dishes.

While we no longer provide a BBQ due to cleanliness concerns, you're welcome to bring your own. However, we do offer a small portable outdoor stove for your convenience.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of our waterfront estate and create unforgettable memories on Pender Island. Book your stay today and embark on a truly unique island experience.

Great spot for family or large group
Great location and great for a large group, while still letting everyone have their own space. Accommodations all in good shape. Deck down by the water could use some upgrades to make it more useable.

Great Spot
We had a great, outdoor weekend and loved the interesting buildings and types of accomodation. The yard is big, unique and beautiful. Our only wishlist item would be a bigger food prep/kitchen area.
