This is the place where forest, river and sea meet at the end of the West Coast Road.
The best part? It’s less than two hours from Victoria, BC.
Within easy reach of Victoria, Port Renfrew is welcoming, affordable, and as wild as you like. Here, you live through your senses: Cedar. Sea spray. Wood smoke. You move with the seasons, currents, and tides.
This is your gateway to ancient forests, epic hikes, and mighty surf — from eagles and Chinook salmon to Sitka spruce and giant Douglas fir. From here, you can trek, paddle, comb the beaches, or cast your line.
Port Renfrew offers new opportunities to stay in style, whether under the stars or beneath 400-thread count sheets. Yup, we’ve upped our game since you were last here. If you’ve never been to see us, you’re right on time.
Check in at a luxury cottage, eco-resort, vacation rental, or your favourite RV. If you’re more backcountry than country club, stretch your arms wide. We’ve got the best outdoor real estate in the world, within easy reach of the campfire.
Retreat to a private waterfront cottage as the day wanes and enjoy all of the creature comforts, without sacrificing your wild side.
The Wild Renfrew Lodge is the ideal launch pad for wilderness excursions, fishing trips, and family holidays.
The Wild Renfrew Hostel is the perfect choice for individual or group travellers looking for unique wilderness access at their fingertips.
We’ve pulled up our bootstraps when it comes to great eats. Our growing food scene keeps things local: seafood sustainably plucked from our waters, organic proteins and uber-fresh greens. Now, you’ll find crisp craft brews waiting on tap and menus right for anglers, surfers, kiddies and vegans. Don’t worry, we haven’t turned our backs on a good ol’ fish and chips. Hearty favourites are on the menu, too.
A local institution for 15 years. The regulars might be known by name, but this is hardly a mom ‘n’ pop fare. This beachy, laid-back restaurant serves all-day West Coast inspired breakfast fare such as Waffles and Eggs Benny. A selection of healthy to-go salads and sandwiches make it a great stop to refuel before hitting the trails or beaches. The focus is local: Free range eggs, in-house baking and prompt friendly service. Fresh ground Fantastico coffee and aromas of fresh baked goods will keep you coming back for more.
This is the place West Coasters come to feel West Coast, to be surround with the things that define us – things we carry deep inside. Wilderness runs in our veins. With our brand new Adventure Centre, you can book your West Coast excursions right on-site. Go whale watching, paddle the estuaries, tour the tall trees by foot, or hit the pavement on an e-bike. Wild Renfrew is yours to discover.
