overnight stay in/near Campbell river VI ??
 
Hi Guys,

In the process of sorting out our summer hols to VI, planning a trip up to telegraph cove for whales watching.

Kids want to do a day on Mount Washington for mountain biking/hiking etc.

Any recommendations for somewhere to stay for one night on the way back from TC ??

There are 5 of us, 3 teenagers and us :eek:

Many thanks

Adbru

If you pm me with more detail I can find you some numbers. Do you want a hotel room, b&b, do you want an efficiency?:confused: Travelodge is cheap with a pool. Give me a shout. Where are you in the highlands?

Should you choose to go with Stubbs Island Whale Watching they go out in the Johnstone Strait and the Robson Bight area. :)

Hi Eastbound,

If you do decide to go whale watching up around Telegraph Cove I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Here's a link to a thread I started shortly after our trip up that way last September. A Whale of a Tale:thumbsup:

Cheers
Steve

Just so you know what to expect. ;)

Here is a panorama shot of Telegraph Cove taken from our unit in Dockside 29.

There is some more to the right but it didn't fit well into the pano.
