Courtenay Forbidden Studios and Outdoor Gallery Hotels

"Front staff was great. Lots of parking. Restaurant on site and good breakfast. Rooms weren’t huge and the road was busy"

"We stayed here under very difficult circumstances for my mother’s memorial, and this home was a perfect sanctuary for our family during such a trying time.The house was excellent for our large group of seven adults and a baby. We never felt cramped; the layout perfectly accommodated both shared family moments and quiet private reflection.Highlights of our stay:The Location: Being just a one-minute walk from the beach was amazing. It provided a beautiful, quiet escape for walks, watching the sunrise, and just hanging out. We even saw a pod of dolphins swimming by on our first evening!Amenities: We spent a lot of time in the hot tub, which was spacious and very well-maintained. The bikes provided by the host were also a huge hit and gave us a fun way to explore the area.The Host: The host was incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating. Their hospitality took a lot of stress off our shoulders when we really needed it most.If you are looking for a spacious, well-equipped home in a prime location with a host who truly cares, I cannot recommend this place enough. It was the perfect backdrop for us to honor and celebrate my mom’s life."

"Staff are amazing from check in to breakfast, rooms are very clean, and bedding is perfect. Hours for breakfast and pool opening times are convenient as well."

"While this is an older facility, we were pleasantly surprised by how well maintained it is. Some of the kitchen cupboard doors in room 114 need repairs and the patio needs some TLC. However, the room is spacious with a good sized kitchen, a full stove and fridge. The bed was super comfortable. The view out the patio gate is stunning. Definitely would stay here again."
