We value our guests!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Because we value our guests we are always looking for ways to give them value for their money. There is still time to take advantage of our storm-watching package — stay 3 nights for the price of 2, or stay 4 nights for the price of 3, until March 5th.

All year round there is a discount for staying 4 nights or more; summer rates go from $185 per night to $170 per night, and off-season rates go from $135 per night to $120 per night.

Other packages you can take advantage of include a whale watching package (March through October) where we save you 10% on your tour price with Aquamarine Adventures.

We also provide a “self-catered breakfast” by stocking the cabins and the suite with coffee, tea, orange juice, eggs, milk and English muffins, as well as condiments like jam, peanut butter, sugar, and margarine.

The cabins and the suite are also stocked with books, CDs and DVDs.

There is free parking on the property, gated sundecks for pets’ safety, and a perfect kayak or canoe launch off our beach.

We look forward to seeing you here soon at Anchors Inn!

Black Bears Fishing!

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Every fall our local black bears wait in anticipation for the first big rainfall, which raises the water level and brings the salmon (bears’ favourite foodgroup!) back up Thornton Creek to spawn. The rain was later than usual this fall, as the West Coast enjoyed a warm and dry September and early October. But the bears are now feasting at Thornton Creek, and will continue to do so until around the second week in November, so be sure to book your stay soon.

You can view the bears safely from a raised boardwalk which skirts the hatchery all the way up to the waterfall. The occasional bear has been know to use the walkway too, or cross the road where you park your vehicle, but they seem quite oblivious to the onlookers and remain focussed on their feasting. Great photo or video opportunities! Check out this You-tube link to see what you’re missing:
