    Everything. Michelle thought of every detail perfectly. They had kayaks you could borrow, an outside bbq facility, the rooms were perfect and it felt like a lot of care went into it. We also got a home made dessert and the most amazing breakfast. 11/10

    It’s the little things that really add to your experience. The rooms were exceptionally clean and well laid out. There are no restaurants in Coal harbour so Meschel heated up our dinner. We we’re also given a delicious appetiser and a dessert to top it off. The breakfast was outstanding. The quality of the food was amazing. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We took the kayak out for a couple of hours which was very enjoyable. I thoroughly recommend staying here.

    Outstanding and special The Inn on Stephens Bay is just fantastic…. The spectacular views, quality of the facilities and outstanding food made our visit incredibly special We were warmly welcomed , delicious crab provided for supper and every need thought about by our excellent hosts in advance . Rooms are spacious, well appointed and everything you could need provided We took advantage of the BBQ on the deck, seating by the bay and the kayaks. We felt ‘ so at home’ and loved this corner of Vancouver Island .

    I wish we'd known in advance that restaurants were 20 minutes away. We would have planned for making our own evening dinners at the inn from the first night. Got into the swing of things for the 2nd and 3rd evening. Other than that, it was very lovely.

    The owners were lovely and very helpful. They took the time to explain things to us about the area. The breakfasts were outstanding. The view was great and the use of kayaks was a bonus.

    If we could score more then we would, because the Inn totally exceeded what we were expecting. We booked it based on a travellers blog .. in fact it was the only reason to take us to the north of Vancouver island, and I’m so glad we did. The location was amazing & the breakfast was outstanding. We had our first introduction to crab, which was a beautiful appetiser from our wonderful hosts Steven & Michelle. The crab was caught probably less than 100m from where we were staying.. it could not have been fresher. We kayaked and saw sea otters. If we ever come back to Vancouver island it would definitely be a place we would visit again. A wonderful place to just relax and enjoy nature.

    Stephen’s Inn is for sure one of the most special places you could visit on Vancouver island: the view right out on to the water, having some sea lions say hello every now and then, watching the full moon rise over the hills… it’s such a magical view, that you can get both out of the super comfy bed and out of the bathing tub, that’s big enough for two. Stephen is a chef, creating breakfast that’s better than any food we tried on the island- with lots of nice seafood fresh out of the ocean. One day we took the kayaks that are free to use, travelled down the coast and watched the orcas blow their water fountains from a far. The detail and care Michelle and Stephen put in hosting their guests made us feel warmly welcomed, making it really hard to finally pack our bags and leave. We will for sure come back!

    We wish we had stayed longer.

    Exceptional hospitality at the Inn. Stephen and Michelle are delightful and run the guest house to the highest standards. They could not have done more to make our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was exceptional as others have written and the Inn has every comfort. We took out a double kayak for a paddle down the bay which was so peaceful and saw seals and nesting eagles.
