North Pender Island, Pender Island hotel rooms at the Independent

"From the moment I checked in it was fabulous! Friendly and very inviting place that is quaint and in an amazing location in Cowichan Bay. Just far enough away from the main street and it's business - walking distance so no worries about having to bring a vehicle to explore the village. Clean and the room was exceptionally nice. Newly renovated suite with 2 queen beds and a kitchenette. The room was equipped with more than enough towels, pots, cutlery, coffee and they even had splenda which made me very happy. Very quiet, the view from one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on was the ocean. I literally sit up in my bed in the morning and see the ocean. Hearing the sea lions right from my room is pretty awesome, it's high season for them at the moment in Cowichan Bay and the reason many people come around this time of year. I will not stay anywhere else in Cowichan Bay except this little gem! I even extended my stay! Great Job to this small team for the best stay ever!"
