Has anybody stayed at the Paddler’s inn at the Broughtons? What was your experience? Would appreciate any comments.

Thank you,

I stayed there for a few nights in September 2024… it was a last-minute booking after getting caught in inclement weather, and was so glad Bruce had a floating cabin available! He even lent me a couple eggs and fresh veggies. It was such a special experience, I highly recommend it 🙂

Hi!  Yes, I went on my own in 2024 in September and stayed in the old bakery. I was pretty much the only one there to stay at that time.  It was a really great experience. I met a small group of doctors who came through for a few nights and adopted me and we day paddled together!  alison

I enjoyed a SKABC trip there  in 2011, took Bruce’s water taxi from Port McNeil. We stayed in the main lodge and made our own meals in the communal kitchen. Highlights included Echo Bay and a tour of Billy Proctor’s museum, three days kayaking around the various island groups, a short hike behind the Inn to a reservoir lake for a refreshing swim. Saw many whales from the water taxi and a couple of bears on paddling routes. There were fish farms amongst the islands. Beautiful location and the Paddler’s Inn was well maintained and comfortable. I have logged the routes we took if you are interested.

Yes. We used their water taxi last year and spent about a week in the Broughton’s and the last night we stayed in a cabin. It was really lovely.

Hi Sarka,

I’ve stayed at Paddler’s Inn a couple of times, but it has been several years since I’ve been there. I particularly enjoyed staying in the float cabin. The location is very conveniently located a paddle away from the Bird Group. We’ve used their water taxi service as well and have always had a positive experience.
