Port Renfrew is located just 1.5 hours from Victoria and 2 hours from Nanaimo and is popular for fishing, cycling and hiking. Surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking down the Gordon River is also very popular. There are also many places to hike and explore including the gorgeous Botanical Beach and the old growth of Avatar Grove. Whether it’s ancient tall trees, gorgeous beaches, five-star fishing, surfing, or world famous hiking along the West Coast Trail everything is steps away from your front door. 
For the small size of Port Renfrew, there are numerous options to enjoy great food and drinks in the local area. The Renfrew Pub, Coastal Kitchen Cafe, Tomi's Home Cooking, and Bridgeman's Restaurant are all great choices that consistently receive outstanding reviews. A limited selection of groceries including beer, wine and spirits can be purchased at the Port Renfrew General Store (open from 9am-7pm every day). Gas, diesel and propane are available at the new gas station. There are a few cafes and bistros available just minutes away from the cottage. Debit and credit cards are accepted at all major establishments.
It is important to note that there are power outages that occur in Port Renfrew, so please be prepared. Port Renfrew is ruggedly beautiful, and part of it's charm is that it is extremely isolated. A downfall of the isolation, is that if the weather causes a tree to fall on the power lines, or some other incident occurs, power will be out and it may take a few- numerous hours to be repaired by BC Hydro. The power outages are completely out of our control. We do provide LED lanterns for light, and the stove, bbq, and outdoor fireplace will work (light them with the long lighters provided). As well, there should hopefully be enough hot water in the tank to last the outage and the fireplace will still work to keep you warm.
Lastly, it should be noted that Port Renfrew is a developing town and may not be as quiet as expected. We cannot control if there is construction or if a neighbour is maintaining their property during normal working hours. Please be aware and understand that outdoor noise is out of our control and we do not know if and when it will happen.

Our house rules: no smoking/ vaping in the cottage, no pets whatsoever in the cottage, no parties in the cottage.

    Fabulous spot with spectacular views from the deck. I was really impressed with the attention to detail and cleanliness. Lovely decor and quality. Port Renfrew is a tiny community with pretty limited amenities… which is what we were looking for.

    Very clean and cozy, and the host even has a binder with information on all the popular destinations, detailed notes on how to get there, and menus for every restaurant in the area! How considerate!

    We had a wonderful stay in this condo! It was very clean well stocked and had a wonderful view outside! Firepit kept us toasty as we watched the Eagles from the patio. The beds were very comfortable. We cannot wait to stay again!

    Nice little cottage
    8.0 / 10.0
    Condo was great. Very comfortable. Fantastic view into the sound. We rarely turned on lights, instead letting the fading light of the day come in through the windows. On the other hand, it’s in an area undergoing a lot of construction. A lot of unfinished condos in the vicinity. It’s very convenient to a lot of beautiful areas. A lot of driving on dusty logging roads, often passing and stopping at incredibly beautiful sights. The town is very small. Essentially, one place to eat dinner (the pub). Food and drink were good, and the people very nice, but the line to get in could be long at times. A handful of places open for breakfast and lunch. Every place we ate was good, although healthy choices were limited. The general store’s supplies are limited. The closest town of any size is an hour away either direction. Buy supplies before getting to Port Renfrew. Having said that, we had a great time. The beauty of the area, the weather, the people were all great. Because it’s a launching point for two long trails there are a lot of hikers - mostly young. The bulk of the service people are also young. All were friendly and helpful. Made the trip that much more enjoyable and vibrant.
