Stayed here with family and friends in 2 bedroom terrace unit. Very spacious rooms simply but adequately furnished. Clean, and comfy beds. Each room has full ensuite with shower-over-bath, either side of sitting room so feels very private. Set in trees with a view of the water. Huge deck with bbq, accessible from every room. Spectacular setting across from Rebecca Spit, ideal for kayaking etc. Docks being rebuilt after previous storm but useable. No food available on site but 2 minutes drive to Heriot Bay Inn and walk to bakery. Well equipped kitchen. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

We have just spent the last 3 days at the Upper Beach House at Taku Resort. Awesome accommodation with all the amenities one could want. Gorgeous views, great location and easy access to other parts of the island. Very attentive staff, easy to contact and available to help if needed. We definitely hope to come back—thank you!!!

Dear Beverly C. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review here. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in the Upper Beach House, you can't really beat those views. It was great having you and hope to see you back soon. If you want to come back next summer please be sure to call asap, this suite books out very quickly. Cheers, Liz Wong

Do not go to Taku Resort if you are a boater! The Marina is horrible, mostly torn apart and unusable-No power-yet they still charge $2 a foot for mooring there. The resort management should be ashame of themselves for calling it a Marina-it’s a dump!! Not to mention the breakwater “floats” are dangerous coming in and out.

Dear Tourist80128, We're really sorry that we didn't take the time to explain to you that our marina is under construction. Unfortunately our docks sustained a lot of damage over the past few years from storms and we were unable to fix it in time for this summer season. Next summer we will have a new marina that will definitely meet and possibly exceed all of your expectations. Sincerely, Elizabeth Wong

We got to Quadra Island at least once a year and haven't stayed in the same place twice, but we will be returning to Taku!! We stayed in Cabin 5, which is the last of the row. Super quaint, lots of privacy, excellent views. They even set out bowls and treats for our dog! The bathroom had a soaker tub , though the water pressure is low so it took longer then normal to fill it. We loved that there wasn't a tv dominating the small space and spent hours reading or simply staring out the front windows. The kids loved the loft! The downstairs bed wasn't the most comfortable, I think the loft ones are newer but only singles. The front desk clerk was super friendly and we found a surprise LV 2 charger for our EV!!! This was our first long range trip in our EV and knew that there wasn't charging available on the island so didn't plan to do much sightseeing, so this was a wonderful surprise! We also had very strong wifi ( that seemed to be the biggest complaint in other reviews we read). This was a wonderful stay and we can't wait to be back!…

Hi ladyvain, Thank you for leaving us this great review. I agree with you, I can get lost in the views as well. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Cabin 5 with your family and pup. Spring is a quiet time on Quadra but there's still so much you can do and all the Spring growth is stunning. We will definitely check the bed for comfort as a good sleep for our guests is important. I hope you found some great places to explore on Quadra in your charged car. And thank you for noticing the WiFi. It was a very frustrating aspect for our guests so we were happy to finally be able to improve the connection now that the island is able to offer us better service. This will also be our first summer where guests will have full cell service. We look forward to hosting you again. Cheers, Liz Wong

Our family of adult children, under six years old grandsons, and a medium sized dog stayed in the Large Beachfront Cabin. It was snug for four adults and two kids, with an A Frame structure somewhat limiting floor space for sitting and a very steep ladder access to the loft with four beds. We appreciated the gas fireplace, but felt quite disappointed that the communal hot tub was closed, no doubt because of lingering COVID fears of management, which is completely COVID protocol compliant. But wow! The cabin has a lovely deck with BBQ, looking over a green lawn to a terrific stony beach was the best view ever. We loved star gazing from this beach. There is also an amazing dock perfect for crabbing and fishing at our time of year...swimming would be great in the summer. We enjoyed the otters and seals that hung out on the booms. In addition to playing on the dock (bring kids lifejackets) we enjoyed the cute play structure and big swing tire. Near the resort is a good grocery shopping and coffee shop and in a ten minutes walk there’s a charming dining room with pub. There’s also a fine flat walk on Rebecca Spit. We had a wonderful family game of soccer there. Then we went beachcombing. Yes! Quadra is an easy Gulf Island to visit from Vancouver Island, on one short ferry, and with many accessible beaches, hikes, and cultural sites. It is the best of West Coast living. And Taku takes full advantage of it all.…

Dear qualicumgirl, Thanks for coming to Taku, it's great we were able to give you an escape that was easy to get to. We love your Qualicum sandy beach so it's nice to hear how much you love our rocky shore. It's also wonderful that you found the field at Rebecca Spit for soccer, it's a regular activity for some of our guests. Yes, unfortunately for a few COVID-19 reasons (more than I can cover in this reply) and limited staffing we've kept the hot tub closed. We are revisiting our hot tub set-up with the health inspector soon. We're hoping that regulations will change and we will be more comfortable opening it back up. It's wonderful you were able to take advantage of the dock. It is a great spot to try your hand at fishing, especially for the kids. We do have life jackets for children and adults, just come and ask us at the front desk. Star gazing from the dock will also never disappoint. The Beachfront Cabins are our most popular accommodation but yes, it would be tight for a group that size. Next time you could try putting overflow in Cabin 1 which is smaller or we do have a three bedroom Terrace Suite. Hopefully we see you again soon. Thank you for visiting us in November when it's not the most popular time to come but when there's still so much to do. We are always very happy to hear from our guests. Sincerely, Elizabeth Wong

We stayed in a 2 bedroom Terrace suite for 2 nights. The suite was very well appointed, beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. Just a short walk to the HBI for dinner was very convenient. The small deck was a great place to enjoy the view and the ocean traffic.

We stayed in the Upper Beach House at Taku Resort. It was a perfect getaway in a stunning setting. When we arrived there was an eagle sitting on a log to the left of the dock and a heron to the right. A wildlife welcoming committee! From the living room or dining room you can see the 180 degree view, up and down the beach, over to Rebecca Spit, Desolation Sound and the mountains beyond. Whether it was stormy or sunny, the view was always amazing. The unit is well appointed and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Lynden and his staff were lovely to deal with. We liked it so much that we decided to make this a yearly getaway!

Loved our visit, the cabins were a perfect relaxing getaway! They were tidy and had cute decor. Staff were friendly. My only complaint is that the cabin was full of cobwebs top to bottom and it didn’t look like there had been a full/deep clean, especially with the floors.

We're so happy we could help you have the perfect relaxing getaway. I'm very sorry to hear that the cleanliness wasn't to your standards and it doesn't sound like it was to ours either. This past winter season has been unusually quiet with guests and staff and this may have been reflected in the cleanliness you experienced. You may be pleased to hear that as we type the cabins are getting updated bathrooms, stoves and new flooring. There will definitely not be any issues if you return again and I hope you do! We really appreciate the time you took to write us a review. Sincerely, Liz Wong

We stayed in a single cabin on the beach with our dog for 3 nights. What an awesome little get away. Morning walks on the beach, hanging out on the dock, and just relaxing in the lounge chairs watching the water. I cannot say enough about this place. Friendly staff, super clean and a fully stocked kitchen...they even left us treats and towels for our dog. Great trails nearby, Rebecca spit is visible from the cabins and is an amazing place to explore. Thank you Taku resort for an amazing stay. We will be back.
