Kiwi Cove Lodge

The name is no misnomer – there really are kiwis growing on this sun-dappled side of Vancouver Island, south of Nanaimo. Choose the self-catering cottage with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private yard, or pick one of the lodge rooms with private decks and patios. Play on the big lawn, launch a kayak into sheltered waters and explore the nearby town of Ladysmith.
