Beautiful spot to stay while visiting Malcom Island. Clean, very comfortable and all the amenities you need with a small fridge and kitchen utensils and all the gadgets to cook if needed. The island shuts down pretty hard and you need to be able to cook. We were there mid week and only one breakfast/lunch place open and the Co-op for groceries. Beautiful little island to slow down for a few days. Highly recommend.

Great spot on top of the water

We really enjoyed our stay at the Orca Lodge. The view is amazing and sitting on the deck while the tide is in, feels like you're on top of the water. The hosts are wonderful people that helped us out and were friendly and hospitable.

Awesome view, excellent communication, small but well designed interior with natural wood shelves and heated bathroom floor! Met lovely cleaning lady Tina. We recommend Coho Joe's for breakfast and a hike to beautiful Melvin's bog.

I stayed at the Orca Lodge for one night and it was amazing. There's all the facilities needed, including a fridge, airfryer, tv, bbq on the deck etc. and the view from the lodge is fantastic. However, what really stood out was the exceptional kindness and service from the host (Lynne) and Tina who cleans the lodge. I accidentally left my AirPods behind after checking out and had already traveled to another island, both only accessible by ferry. They went out of their way to arrange for my AirPods to be transported on the ferry to Port McNeill and left safely at the ticket office for me to collect the next day. It must have taken considerable time and effort on their part, and I was genuinely touched by their willingness to help. This level of care and hospitality is rare and greatly appreciated. Thank you Lynne and Tina!

The studio was perfect for our short stay on Malcolm Island - was super well equipped and we loved the warmed bathroom floor. The view out over the water was amazing and we had a perfect sunset.I enjoyed the history of Sointula and the icing on the cake was a visit to Bere Point where we saw Orca come in to the rubbing beach. Amazing! Thanks Lynne for your hospitality!

The room we stayed in was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay, including toaster oven, microwave, small coffee pot, kettle, hot plate, pots pans etc.. There was a small BBQ on the deck with utensils and it was very clean as well. We loved the deck, it was right on the ocean and we could hear the waves come underneath the deck at high tide. The view was spectacular!!! We would definitely recommend staying here, and when back to Sointula this will be where we stay. The host contacted us the day before we were to arrive and let us know about how the check in worked and also sent us an email with all the information we needed to check in as well as places to see on the island

Loved that this property was clean and right on the waterfront. High tide came right up under the deck so you could hear the waves gently lapping. Close to amenities and marina.

It’s almost like “walking aboard” at the Orca Lodge! The quirky boat house is a welcoming spot right on the water. It feels like a much-loved family cottage. We were traveling with children and they loved the ladder and loft. Waking up to the ocean truly under the deck was just spectacular.
