Driving to 2690 Island Highway West
The inn sits on Island Highway West, which is the main road through Qualicum Beach, and it describes itself as a short distance from the beach. A phone map will give you the right turns from wherever you are starting. Street by street directions written without a map tend to go out of date, so rely on the address itself.
Parking is something to ask the inn about. Its website does not give details, and the front desk can tell you where guests and visitors leave their cars. The inn’s phone number and email are on its contact page.
Taxi from Qualicum Beach or Parksville
A taxi suits short trips within the Oceanside area, and it is handy when you have luggage or plan to have dinner and a drink. Ask the dispatcher for a fare estimate when you book. The Parksville taxi page covers the Oceanside area, and the taxi fare estimator helps with a rough cost.
Public transit
BC Transit serves the Oceanside area, though routes, stops and frequency change by day and season. No particular route is named here because it could not be confirmed. Use the BC Transit trip planner with the inn’s address as your destination and your own travel date, and let it show the stops and any walking involved.
Coming from Vancouver by ferry
Most visitors from the mainland cross with BC Ferries and then drive north on the Island Highway. Crossing times and sailings vary by route and season, so check the BC Ferries schedule for your date and reserve a spot if it is a busy weekend. After landing, follow the signs toward Parksville and Qualicum Beach, then use the inn’s address for the final stretch into town.
The drive from the ferry terminals takes longer in summer traffic. A live traffic map helps you judge timing, and DriveBC lists current road conditions and closures on the Island highways.
