We spent three nights at the Tuwanek in late July for my partner’s birthday, and it was exactly the kind of quiet, scenic retreat we were hoping for. The setting right on the inlet is the real draw — waking up to that view every morning made it hard to leave the room. Rooms were beautifully appointed and spotless, and the little touches (spa services, quality products) made it feel like a proper occasion rather than just a place to sleep. It’s remote enough that you’ll want a car for dinner — we made the short drive into Sechelt most nights (Fred’s was a highlight) — but that same remoteness is what makes the property feel so peaceful. Kayaking right off the inlet, seal, otter and eagle sightings from the shore, and easy access to Skookumchuck Narrows and Hidden Grove rounded out the trip nicely. The owners are a delight as well. There if you need anything! This is a special place, I almost didn’t want to be this glowing in my review as others will find this place, but it’s truly magical :)
