Each accommodation at the 5-star bed and breakfast has pool views, and guests can enjoy access to a sauna and a hot tub. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the children's playground, or enjoy views of the garden and inner courtyard. Friendly staff, lots of free food in the kitchen. Nice GYM, swimming pool, sauna. It's quiet at night, you can have a good rest. The transport interchange is a 5-minute walk away and there is a constant bus service, and there is a large pizzeria restaurant nearby. I recommend!

Situated in Coal Harbour, 22 km from Port Hardy Ferry Terminal, The Oceanfront Inn on Stephens Bay features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and water sports facilities. Free WiFi and room service are offered. We have had an amazing time at the Inn. The location is stunning and the views of the bay from the room were amazing. As other reviews mentioned too, for us this was the best hotel breakfast we have ever had somewhere. Fresh crab and prawns, caught by Meshell and Stephen in the bay. And to top that off, we even saw a bear walking along the shore on the other side of the bay while having breakfast. The hosts were always available for recommendations and were very hospitable. It's very worth it to take out the kayaks on to the bay, we had sea otters and seals swim up to the kayak and play around. Some of the most memorable experiences we have had during our trip to Canada were had during our stay at the Inn, we'd love to come back someday!

The guest house has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a terrace with sea views. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing. Wayne and Michelle were great hosts, very helpful. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and it felt like a home away from home for the two weeks I was there. It was also the perfect location.
