Property's Favourite Review
The Inn is a lovely family run business. The proximity to Douglas Bay is an added bonus - beautiful beach and swimming. The phosphorescence as we swam in the evening was magical. Say Hi to Rob for me 👋🏼 we had a great chat by the pond. A most relaxing experience.

Thank you for staying with us. I'm glad we were able to accommodate you and your good wife Emma. In the brief moments we had you caught my interest on a number of subjects that I wish to pursue further. My guests open my eyes to so many things I could never live long enough to know by personal experience.

Mr. Higgins and his family provided an amazing experience for me and my children. I loved staying here and will definitely be back. He was so kind to my family and provided every service we could possibly need. He gave my children chalk, writing books and pencil crayons and treated them with kindness. His family set up a small gas fireplace on his property to make smores at night and during the day let my children run free around his property, which may I add, is absolutely beautiful. I will absolutely be coming back to stay again and again. Thank you, Rob Higgins. - The Mahoney Family.

My sister and I came to Powell River and stayed in a 2 bed/1 bath suite at the Higgins Inn on Donkersly Beach. Our plan was to have a 2 night stay to visit family but we ended up staying for a total of 11 nights! That is how much we loved the Higgins Inn and the family who owns and runs it! Only a few hundred feet from the beach with lovely quiet tree-lined roads, birdsong all day and ravens and eagles nesting close by. We made fast friends with some of the neighbors and their pets. 2 special dogs accompanied us on daily beach walks to fetch rocks and sticks in the water and on the sand. The Higgins family, their dog, Bella & their 2 cats, Ebony and Pearl made our stay feel like we were in a “home away from home”. We had everything we needed at the Inn. The city center is not too far away but we would hurry back to the Inn after a day of visiting and exploring, to entertain and cook for family. A beach walk after dinner and drinks on the balcony in the evening to star gaze was all the was needed for a perfect day’s end. Higgins Inn is close to several great beaches such as Palm Beach, Saltery Bay, and Kent Resort beach. If you are getting to Powell River from Vancouver, it takes 2 ferries from Horseshoe Bay but you can also get there from Comox on Vancouver Island with 1 ferry ride. We can’t hardly wait to get back to the Higgins Inn for another long visit!

We stayed at Higgins Inn over the summer. It was perfect for my family of 4. The suite was clean, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. The location is perfect, a 1-2 minute walk to the beach and the owner Robert is wonderful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend and will be staying there again.

We were very pleased with our stay at Higgin's Inn. It was a spacious and well maintained unit, only one block from the beach. The owners are friendly and welcoming. The value was remarkable. We would stay here again if we returned to Powell River.

Wonderful stay, the Inn is situated just up from the beach. Hosts are lovely people, had a very meaningful conversation with them this evening. From here it is easy to do day trips to Lund and Savory Island, all of which are just beautiful and well worth visiting. Weather has been fantastic!! Will I return? Without a shadow of a doubt.

Firstly, the entire Higgin clan are super nice folk! Secondly, the suites at Higgins Inn are spacious, well equipped and overlook a gorgeous outdoor garden and BBQ area that is for all guests to use. Rob Higgins even knocked on our door to offer some of his freshly picked tomatoes! He also let us plug in our EV - free! We've been twice and will certainly come again.

We had a great stay on the labour day weekend in suite #1. The full kitchen has everything you need, and Theresa & Rob are great hosts. They are very helpful, but fully respectful of privacy. The grounds and the suite are unique & creative. Thank you. A return trip is planned! Rod
