Location was excellent and the cabin was well equipped,clean and quiet. The shoreline was beautiful albeit rocky slabs and provided a lovely place to sit and enjoy the day.

The restaurant was very disappointing. The salads had poorly chosen greens, tomatoes tasteless and rubbery, cucumbers tough, and old lettuce. The seafood chowder was too salty and highly flavoured such that the delicate taste of the seafood was overpowered. It arrived after a very very long wait and the sauce had a skin on it.

We loved the location! The lodge itself had so much character and it showed all the love that’s been put into it over the years. We so appreciate the care that’s been put into it.

The only thing I can think of would be the shower in our room. And I say this because I am a tall person and would have liked slightly a bit more room to move around. Otherwise all amenities were exactly what we wanted.

After checking out, I couldn't find my cell phone. One of the workers let me back in the room, called my phone with hers. She then came out to my car with me to call it there. Got turned in at Mad Rona's, so was very lucky. Extremely helpful staff, stunning views. Quiet and could here sounds of the ocean from the room.

We came back around 10 pm from a friend's campsite and there was no hot water for a bath or shower.

We visited on a bike tour and the staff were really great helping us find our room after arriving late in the pouring rain. They also helped us with secure storage for our bikes. Room was small but clean and totally fine for our needs. Weather was mild when we were there but I would expect the rooms to get very hot in high summer. The pub on site was great to grab a beer after a day of cycling and we didn't have any noise issues despite our room being right by the entrance.

We stayed for two nights and had a lovely time on Gabriola. The ocean view was fantastic and the bed was very comfy, sufficient parking in the back for our two motorcycles. There is a restaurant but also a small pub. It was great that we could just walk downstairs for lunch or dinner, and then set about our day. They don't offer breakfast but there is a nice little cafe in the center of Gabriola. The place overall is very cozy and the staff was very nice and welcoming.

There was very little shower pressure from above, i.e. the bathroom could benefit from a new shower head as the pressure from the bottom of the tub was powerful, just not from above. We stayed in room 10.

Location and views. Dinner and service and service were good both nights.

It wasn’t quite what we expected from the on line information. There’s no potable tap water but they do provide small bottles of water daily. There’s no breakfast available on site so you have to drive to the village. Having learned that on our first day we bought breakfast food for our second day at the grocery store

No breakfast served and limited dinner service( staff shortages) but a great location and welcoming service we were warned that it would be a open jam night in the pub. There was a bit of noise but nothing that was disruptive to our stay. Great place to let locals share their talents.

Coffee maker did not work in the room.

We were in the cabin #121 Superior Queen and it had a great view and everything we needed. Firstly and importantly it was clean and smelled fresh and not musty as some cabins can. It was cozy, quaint, spacious, comfortable and clean. Instead of cooking dinner in our cabin as I had planned, we decided to go the restaurant to eat. The lodge also looked charming on the inside but on this summer day we wanted to relax outside on the lawn across from the sea and listen to the sound of the waves and watch the ferries and boats go by. The service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the salad and the greens were fresh and tasty from their local farm. My husband ordered the burger and it looked good too. The bed was really comfortable and we also had a great sleep. We had a full kitchen so we made ourselves pesto eggs with smoked cheddar, veggie sausage and blueberries accompanied coffee from the Keurig machine they provided and enjoyed it on our balcony. There were enough dishes, cups, utensils and cooking things to cook full meals if you wanted to. They provided bottle water in the bathroom, fridge and by the coffee maker as there is a boil water order in affect. The location was great as it's across from the ocean and it's lovely to walk on the beach or up the road to the end point and watch the sunset. All in all, this was a great get away and enjoyed our cabin immensely.

The outside could use a bit more attention. A menu in the room would be helpful.

The Surf Lodge and Pub is a unique property in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean. It is very rustic and in line with the area and vibe of Gabriola Island. If you are looking for a bougie Hotel and Spa this is not it, however if you are looking for some rustic charm, good vibes and a great meal at the attached pub then this is the spot for you.

The location was wonderful and Ioved the rustic style of the Surf Lodge. The pub was super, Fish& Chips were the best and so were the staff. The restaurant staff were nice, but the style was too fussy for such a laid back place. The sound of the ocean lapping at the shore and the bark of the sealions wonderful to hear out my bedroom window.

The cleanliness of the rooms, particularly the bathroom could use a bit of freshening up. But the staff cleaning were busting their butts. I heard staff is hard to find on Gabe, particularly due to shortage of housing.
