We loved our stay at Oceanside Village Resort in Parksville

Reviewed Mar 31, 2024
Hotel's Favourite
This place is our new family getaway. Individual cabins which are very well equipped and more like small homes rather than cabins. Quiet neighborhood and our 6 year old felt comfortable ride his bike around the property every afternoon. The pool is amazing (indoor, with a large main swimming pool and a hot tub as well). This place is comfortable to be at in the colder months too, and there are lots of local hikes and beautiful beaches to explore if you enjoy nature. Parksville is a beautiful family friendly place. The Adventure Playground just a short drive away in Parksville is humongous, and has so many great playground equipment setups for both the very little kids and older ones too. The mini golf and bumper cars on site is a great attraction as well, it's in the same complex as the resort. Two courses, the larger having 18 holes, and it's well maintained and cleverly designed. We are so glad that we found this resort and we can't wait to go back!

We will always choose OVR as our accommodation when staying in Parksville. Having a self contained cottage provides both security and privacy. We travel with our dog and the pet friendly cottages are the best option.
The cottages have all the amenities you may need during your stay. The bedrooms are very spacious and the beds so comfortable. A word of note though, is parking is very limited in front of your cottage, but there are available spots for any visitors vehicles if needed.
We did not use the pool this trip as it was closed but the offer was available to use Tigh Na Mara if we wished.
Thanks once again OVR for another great stay.

We had a great stay at cottage #152.
Checking in was a breeze and Shauna was vey professional and courteous. Our cottage was a one bedroom with loft. Upstairs was a nice space for our adult daughter to have as her own. It had a queen sized bed and bathroom with a shower and a TV.
Downstairs there was a full kitchen, ample closet space, a washer/dryer, full bathroom with soaker tub and a separate shower. Our bedroom had a king size very comfortable bed with a TV in the room. The living room had very comfy furnishings and a fireplace that was very welcoming when coming in from a chilly day or evening. The back porch had a gas bbq which we used on NYE. The back deck was very big with a table and chairs with an umbrella which we didn't use due to the weather. The unit had everything we needed and some. The area around the cottage was very nice with lots of greenery and fresh air. We brought our small dog with us as this resort is pet friendly. Never used the pool but my daughter used the gym which had a few treadmills. The one thing that really impressed us was how clean the cottage was.
Thank you so much for the enjoyable Island break!

We stayed in an Arbutus cabin which is one of the smaller cabins but it was perfect for me, my husband, and our dogs. The staff are friendly and very helpful, the cabin was clean and comfy, the resort was very clean and the landscaping was lovely. Would definitely stay there again!! Thank you!!

If you are looking for a place on Vancouver Island to vacation that gives you more room than the average hotel, look no further! We stayed in 210, plenty of space for two couples and we also had other family members visit. Everything you need to self cater is there, including a huge BBQ on the deck. Very clean with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. A short walk to Rathtrevor beach and park where there are beautiful trails. The indoor pool and hot tub was lovely. Staff were very helpful, even called us to let us know we could check in early! Hoping to be back again for longer next time.
