This family owned and run lodge is the perfect place to stay. Looking out in the bay there is always something to see. Dining with ocean views, we enjoyed home cooked delicious meals, in a family and friendly environment we felt right at home here. Everything you need is here…. Quaint rooms all with your own bathroom. Comfy bed and bedding, I slept so well I had to set an alarm. Thank you Cheryl, Mel, Brian and staff for EVERYTHING. We will be back! 🩷 Highly recommend you choose McKay for your stay in Bamfield.

The staff were approachable and super friendly, the Forest View quiet Cabin WAS quiet and the linens and bed soooo soft. Marina the chef was not only a top notch chef but an extremely talented vocal stylist. We are grateful and will be returning!

I stayed here with other course participants for a week and I was so thankful for the wonderful staff caring for us every day. The level of attentiveness was so welcoming. The kitchen was incredibly accommodating for a variety of needs and even special menu requests. What a special spot! I'm looking forward to returning again.

We had a wonderful time at this lodge. Cheryl and Brian and Mel and all the staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. We were picked up at the dock and us and our luggage were taken to the lodge. The next day we had a tour booked with the Kiixin first nations across the bay and Cheryl took us across in her little boat. One of us was 89 and getting around Bamfield was difficult for her to go up and down the steep hills but the staff at McKay bay drove us to wherever we needed to go. The meals were amazing!!! breakfast lunch and dinner were all fantastic and it was great to have lots of drinks and home baked cookies and snacks available to all guests throughout the day. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the beds very comfortable. The view from the deck is great.
Room tip: McKay bay offers whale watching tours. We went and we saw humpback whales feeding, a colony of seals and explored the broken islands.

The weather was perfect. The fish were everywhere. Don't drive the Bamfield Road whatever you do. Find another way of getting there. After you limit out on kings make sure you stop at Port Alberni and buy some Effingham oysters. These are the finest in the world.
Room tip: Prepare to catch fish. If the weather is good head out into open water for some halibut.
