Overview
The lodge is located in Farewell Harbour on Berry Island on 10 acres of beautifully forested land. With the exception of the lodge property and 3 adjoining acreages, Berry Island is within the border of world-renowned Broughton Archipelago Marine Park, which is located between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia with Queen Charlotte Strait to the west and Knight Inlet to the east. Berry Island Wilderness Lodge is a beautiful protected anchorage along the famed inside passage route to Alaska.
With its unparalleled hospitality, awe-inspiring surroundings, and a commitment to conservation, Berry Island Wilderness Lodge has been an oasis of tranquility, inviting visitors to embrace the wonders of nature and forge a deep connection with the untamed world.
The primary lodge building and common area features a comfortable lounge and dining room, bar and a large brick fireplace surrounded by large windows and a wraparound deck boasting spectacular views of the harbour with its south and west exposure (great sunsets!). The expansive decks continue as a boardwalk along the shore, leading to eight private oceanside suites with ensuite bathrooms, gas-fired stove and extra-long double beds. A ramp leads off the main lodge to our floating lodge below, featuring four additional suites, each with a private bathroom for twelve rooms in total. All lodge suites and common areas have unique design features incorporating natural cedar and local materials and art from the area that offer a distinctive, relaxing ‘west coast’ feel.
