Guest Reviews

What a great way to end our holiday

We decided on the spur of the moment to pack an overnight bag & drive to Port Alberni. Beautiful day, awesome scenery. We stopped at Cameron Lake for a swim like two giggly kids. It was sooo refreshing. Just driving around, we spotted the Hummingbird & really liked the look of the house & grounds. After Cheryl & Wayne graciously showed us the two empty rooms, the games room, the beautiful backyard and hot tub, we chose the Dogwood Room. It was the best sleep we've had away from home & we loved it so much we stayed another night, did the tourist thing & we're booked for two days in August.
