The Cedar Suite is a private, ground-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beachfront suite (1 king, 2 queens; about 1,100 sq ft) at Arbutus Cove Retreat, halfway between Powell River and Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast. Sleeps 6, with direct beach access, an ocean-fed hot tub included, and a glass-panel sauna available as an add-on.
With a full kitchen, inviting living spaces and a fireplace for cozy storm-watching evenings, Cedar is ideal for couples or groups seeking comfort and tranquility.
Surrounded by 1.2 acres of lush greenery, with beautiful ocean views and the mountains of Vancouver Island beyond, Cedar is a serene base for your coastal escape.
ABOUT ARBUTUS COVE RETREAT Arbutus Cove Retreat offers sweeping ocean views and a restorative coastal escape. Our four fully contained, private suites (Hemlock, Cedar, Sitka and Heron) are perfectly located between Powell River and Lund, about 15 minutes from each. Explore kayaking, mountain biking, climbing, fishing and hiking, or wander beaches, visit breweries and browse artisan markets. Then return to wellness and calm: soak in the hot tub, book the sauna, or gather at the beach fire pit.
THE SUITES

Sitka Suite (upper level): sleeps 6

PLEASE NOTE: The Cedar Suite is below the Hemlock Suite in house #3935. While the building is well insulated, some sound from above may be heard, so we kindly ask all guests to be mindful of noise.
AMENITIES Guests enjoy full access to all of Arbutus Cove Retreat's outdoor amenities, including the beach area, sunset deck, BBQ pergola and cozy fire pit.
Oceanfront hot tub: included with your stay, booked by appointment. Adults only.
Glass-panel sauna: optional add-on, $15/hour.
Tesla Level 2 EV charger (240V): available for a fee. It has a Tesla (NACS) connector, so non-Tesla vehicles need their own adapter. We don't provide one.

Advance booking through our website is required for the hot tub, sauna and EV charger, to ensure availability and privacy.

GETTING HERE Powell River is on the mainland but isn't connected to the provincial road network, so driving from Vancouver takes two ferries: Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, then Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. In summer, reserve the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale sailing; reservations aren't available on the Earls Cove to Saltery Bay leg.
By air: Pacific Coastal Airlines flies from Vancouver airport, and Harbour Air flies from downtown Vancouver to Powell Lake. The Harbour Air dock is next to The Shinglemill Pub and Bistro, where you check in, about 10 minutes from Powell River's city centre.
YOUR HOSTS We live on the property and are happy to help whenever you need us, while respecting your privacy. We're always just a message away, by phone or text.
