Great views, but rooms are tight.
Pros:

The beds were very comfortable and the view was amazing. The staff were also great to deal with and the on-site restaurant and bakery were quite good - just not open daily. The on-site gallery was a nice touch too.

Cons:

Unfortunately the rooms in the lodge are very small and the bathroom configuration is quite awkward, so overall it seemed very expensive for what you get. With only one night stand, some wall hooks and a desk, trying to unpack and settle in was quite tricky for two people. Food options are inconsistent on site and on the island, so challenging to eat with no cooking options in the room - perhaps a group kitchen would be the answer??

Will be back!
Pros:

The location can't be beat, and the rates were more than fair when comparing to similar accommodation. The room was simple, but clean and a perfect place to rest our heads at the end of the day.
The balcony was lovely, the view is incredible and the doors open fully so you feel even closer to the ocean. In the mornings and evenings we enjoyed opening the doors and listening to the birds from bed.
The kind woman at the reservation/guest services desk was great! She was able to accommodate a few requests for us with no issue. Our experience with her was communicative, kind, friendly and just overall welcoming.
On top of all of that, the room was pet friendly and we were able to bring our dog (Lab) along for the adventure! We booked very last minute and our usual pet sitter was unavailable, so a pet friendly unit really kept our trip on track. We also made good use of the dog wash after a very sandy trip to the beach. My dog usually hates baths, but the warm water made it much more tolerable for him and tracked SO much less sand into our room.
Finally, the restaurant staff and food were great! We also stopped in at the cafe in the morning for a cheese pastry, a sweet treat and bit of bacon for the pup. The owner was happy to accommodate and we had a nice visit.
Overall a wonderful stay, we will certainly be back!

Cons:

The hot tub was a bit dirty on our first visit, however I do think that this was in the process of being remedied by our second visit the following morning. There was a bit of a chemical feel to it, but I feel that this isnt unusual since we were there right at 10 am for a dip before checking out.
The pool was chilly at first, but honestly, once I adjusted it was fine.

Lovely place to enjoy the present and admire the ocean.
Pros:

Very pleasant place to relax and enjoy nature

Cons:

Restaurant is close often; we were catching 5:15 ferry but all the restaurants on Mayne Island were close. Would be nice also to have better choice for the restaurant for food. Maybe have staffs cleaning deers drop on the grass in front of the cabin .

Pros:

Stayed in 2 bed cottage with lovely views. It was clean and comfortable, very well equipped and had balcony overlooking sea . We enjoyed our stay

Cons:

Eat at restaurant here as no other places around. Food was average. Dining room had amazing view over water but room itself was functional and lacked atmosphere. Would take very little to make it more cheerful space

Excellent location with stunning views in a great spot to enjoy all the wonders on Mayne Island
Pros:

The location was absolutely beautiful with a spectacular view and it was a great jumping off point to see the island.

Cons:

I guess the problem on travel in the off season hotels are going to do renovations maybe not use the same number of staff they have in past. So was rather unfortunate that the restaurant was completely shut down for renovations as was the Steam room. It may have been Hotel policy but our room was completely untouched for three days. So no replacement of heavily used towels or emptying of the garbage. Minor things.

It was comfortable and the staff were pleasant and accommodating
Pros:

The location was directly on the Ocean.
The property had a small place where you could buy food, drinks.

Cons:

The room required a face lift, a heard that there used to be a great restaurant on site but they were asked to leave. I’ll leave it up to the owners to respond.

Ruhiges Hotel an wunderschöner Lage
Pros:

Die Lage, die Aussicht und die Umgebung sind wunderschön. Wir waren in einem Zimmer im Hauptgebäude. Es war sauber, die Einrichtung war ok. Das Personal war nett.

Cons:

Leider war das Restaurant geschlossen, was wir gewusst haben. Wir konnten vom "the Nook" nebenan etwas bestellen, der Saal war aber geschlossen und wir mussten am kleinen Tisch in der Lobby essen. Beim "Nook" konnte ich Gipfel kaufen, weil es auch kein Frühstück gab. Der Pool war offen, aber das Sprudelbad war abgedeckt. Offensichtlich ist die Saison hier nach "Thanksgiving" vorbei. Schade.

Pros:

Posizione straordinaria, situato in una piccola baia piena di tranquillità.

Le stanze sono pulite e curate, con balconi con una vista splendida.

Cons:

Colazione migliorabile, il caffè offerto al bar connesso all' hotel, ma cibo da acquistare separatamente ogni mattina.

Suggerirei una piccola vendita di prodotti essenziali, cibi e bevande all'interno dell' albergo.
Eviterebbe, a chi non vuole prendere la macchina o chi non ce l'ha come noi, di dover andare al negozio, che non è vicino e non è raggiungibile a piedi.

Disappointing except for the view and location
Pros:

The location and view are outstanding. The cottages and villas are very nice but the original lodge rooms where we booked were disappointing

Cons:

The lino and baseboards in the bathroom are from the 70s. Very sparse furnishings. Only one chair and a small desk. Window blind didn’t work.
Restaurant closed due to renovation. The Nook was only open 3 days a week and was disappointing. The price was too high for this type of room. Would not stay in the Lodge again
