Nautilus House ~ Hornby Island ~ "Nautilus Suite"

Our base rate is for double occupancy. For families and groups, the rate increases $35/person. Please note that we have enhanced cleaning procedures and guest requirements for Covid related safety. These can be outlined in detail before booking, and referred to in the House Manual after booking. Nautilus House sits between the ocean and the sky, in the Whaling Station Bay neighbourhood of Hornby Island. We are a stone’s throw from the white sand and mesmerizing sandstone formations of the beach and border Helliwell Provincial Park, a nature-lover’s paradise. The Nautilus Suite has a bright and airy design, with natural light throughout. It is attached to the main house, yet does not share a wall with any of the owner's living spaces. While close to the beach, it retains its privacy for those who cherish peace and quiet. The Nautilus House offers guests 2 separate accommodations. They are located on opposite sides of the Main House, nestled amongst our towering trees and manicured garden acreage. If your party occupies only 1 suite (see our other listing for the Studio Cottage- sleeps 2), respect for your privacy and comfort is our top priority. Both suites offer private entrances and patios, away from the other living spaces on the property, however close enough to enjoy the shared access to our sprawling property and back-yard hot tub. If weather and time permits, Ben may take you for a ride on his train that meanders through the property! We live in the Main House, but are available to assist with anything you need. Relax and enjoy yourselves! The Island has everything you could desire in terms of recreation, activities and cultural events. Or just spread out your beach towel and work on your tan. Just ask us if you’d like any recommendations or want more information about any of the local happenings. If you are looking to save on time and have a view of the landscape, float planes can be scheduled to deliver you to Hornby Island from both Vancouver and Victoria, BC. ***If using GPS, it can send you down the wrong side street. Have a look at the map and stay on the main roads right to Helliwell. We are located at 7860 Helliwell Road. Check the BC Ferries website for sailing times. Generally ferries run every hour, but shuttle on busy summer weekends. Note that the last connecting ferry to Hornby leaves Buckley Bay at 6pm (except on Fridays, see their website) Once on Hornby, follow the signs to Helliwell Park. You can’t miss us!
