Kitty Coleman Beach |
The eastern portion of the park is home to a single majestic old-growth Douglas fir, estimated to be more than 500 years old.

porpoises. This is quite the popular spot for Salmon Fishing.
Daisies all spring and summer |
This mid island location is perfect
for day trips to the many unique communities on the Island's coast.
The
Comox Valley boasts the longest growing season in Canada which means
the Farmer's Market Season will be in full swing when you visit, or if you are really keen, take a bike and do a farm tour! You can also get to know some of the local artists who make this valley their home. Maybe a daytrip to Denman Island
is in your plans?

Sunflowers kiss the sky in fall |

A lush botanical garden for you to enjoy |
BC is home to over 187 species of butterflies, more than any other province in Canada, and with all the fertile soils and committed gardeners you are sure to see your share.
Oh but wait, perhaps butterflies aren't your thing... how about wine? Vancouver Island, and the Comox Valley have a burgeoning wine industry, so why not take a wine or meadery tour? Perhaps go for a sail, rent a bike, hit a golf course or visit a museum, gallery or two.
There are so many festivals to take in; The Filberg, Sandcastle Festival, Campbell River Shoreline Arts Festival and so much more. And after all that activity, you don't want to miss going to one of the many spa's, we recommend the Hydropath. Of course you will want to do some shopping, make sure you take some chocolate and pastries home to The Farmhouse for later. Finish it up with wine and award winning cheese from some of the Valley's finest producers at home on the deck, watching the sun change to stars in this peaceful, light pollution free location.
Whitaker Farm Botanical Gardens |
Perhaps you are more of a homebody. Don't stray too far from home as you will be staying on a peaceful 26 acres. Take a walk through the pasture to the 9 acres of rain forest sit beneath the trees and listen to the mountain fed creek.
Next wander past the barn to the lavender garden, settle down on
one of the many benches and let the scent wash over you as you relax
and rejuvenate.
Lots of spots for quiet reflection |

"My wife and I were in search of a relaxing getaway honeymoon after our wedding and we couldn't have found a better spot. Mariette was the most wonderful host! Upon arrival there was a chilled bottle of sparkling wine and homemade goods straight from the garden. We had such a warm welcome and it really set us up for the entire week. We were given lots of recommendations of things to do in and around the area and were never steered in the wrong direction! We went to the Kingfisher spa, ate cronuts, visited a farmers market and drank local fruit wine - it was wonderful. The farmhouse will always hold a special memory for us and we wouldn't hesitate recommending to anyone who is looking for a cozy getaway on the island." Erin B
