Great location, great communication, and friendly staff. I gave a 4 star because the master bedroom mattress was awful and I wasn’t able to sleep on it.

Amazing location, view and cabins!

We stayed in 2 cabins with our parents who were visiting from overseas. They were spacious, clean, well equipped with everything we needed and absolutely amazing views. Saw lots of wildlife and highly recommend coming here!! We will be back again.

Overall great weekend! The second bedroom is a bit snug, but only had one adult in there, so not horrible. A few of the dishes were dirty. But the spectacular views, the handy binoculars and all the space in the living area made everything so enjoyable!

Perfect location for Telegraph Cove tours

Somewhat small for 4 adults but we managed. Had trouble accessing the Portal to get unit instructions like wifi and where to find things. Would prefer an instruction sheet in the unit as backup. Beds were super comfortable, unit was spotless, and a great location to connect with our tour out of Telegraph Cove. Suggest new frying pans and flipper, and a larger garbage can under the sink but those were minor details. We had a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Paddlers Cove cottage! It was the perfect place to bring our family for some outdoor adventure; the view was amazing, it was fast and convenient to get our boat into the water, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We hope to visit again soon.

The cottage is in an incredibly beautiful location, close to the water, with peaceful surroundings and a stunning view.Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully arranged – from the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds. We truly appreciated how easy it was to feel at home here.The hosts were helpful and easy to communicate with. It’s clear they care about making guests feel welcome.A great choice for anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay near the sea. We hope to come back someday!
