The resort is situated on three acres of waterfront property. We are located in the town of Sorrento, BC, within a five minute walk to stores and services. We are far enough away from the highway and train so that noise is not a problem.

The property is fairly open with several large trees which provide our customers with sun or shade as desired. A large portion of the area is grass and we have 200 feet of sandy beach. A four to five foot high rock wall separates the beach from the grass area in front of the waterfront cottages. Access to the beach is provided by stairs on one side and a boat launch ramp on the other. We have a safe, sandy beach for swimming, a gradual incline into the water, separate swim and water ski floats, a water trampoline and a shower at the boat launch to rinse off after swimming. We have a private dock, boat launching ramp, mooring buoys and a row boat to get back and forth from the buoys. Our back road provides a hill suitable for tobogganing in winter.

The cottages, all non-smoking units, are arranged in a U shape from the beach around a central playground. We have four cottages available at the waterfront, eight cottages we refer to as centre units on the rate sheet (they are the second and third row back from the beach; the second row is about 50 feet from the beach; the third row is about 80 feet from the beach along each side of the U) and two cottages we refer to as rear units on the rate sheet (they are about 100 feet from the beach) at the back of the U. All the playground area, except for the volleyball/badminton net and basketball hoop, is located within the U. Within the playground area there are three umbrella tables with four chairs each. A campfire pit (firewood is supplied) is located at the front of the U between the waterfront cottages. Patio lighting enhances the campfire area in the evening.

The resort also has a coin operated laundry; a pay phone; and a small store supplying ice cream novelties, marshmallows, candy, pop.  Fax, modem, data and e-mail services, including wireless internet, are available through the office.

Check-in time is 3:00 pm or later and check-out is 10:00 am during summer weekly rentals.
