We had a beautiful room with a balcony facing the water. We were treated to a pod of dolphins and an orca viewing in the morning. Warm and friendly home base for exploring Alert Bay. Walkable from the ferry as we went on foot. Quiet on a Sunday but exactly what we were after. We missed the summer crowds and felt like we had the bay to ourselves. Highly recommend hanging your hat at the inn.

Think bed and breakfast, in a heritage house, with lovely seaside decor, and owners who are passionate about sharing their property and its history with visitors from all over the globe. A continental breakfast is offered in a common sunroom with unbeatable ocean views and comfy chairs, blankets and binoculars to focus in on otters, eagles and the occasional whale passing by. There is a restaurant on site for lunch and dinner, with indoor seating as well as a seaside deck for outdoor dining. Each suite has its own full bathroom, private patio area, and a mini fridge (but no microwave). There is a grocery store just down the road, as well as a couple of restaurants, a pub, and a liquor store all within walking distance.

Great stay

Amazing location on the water with the added bonus of a restaurant on site. Varied and fresh items for a self-serve breakfast. Walls are thin so bring ear plugs as not all guests are respectful. The owner was great at providing information about the area and the ferry before arrival.

Nimpkish Hotel is an excellent place to stay on Cormorant Island. We arrived very late at night due to a late last ferry but the owners and staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. The facility was clean and charming. Breakfast overlooked the beautiful harbour and offered lots of options. Highly recommend.
