My husband and I stayed here 3 nights. The treehouse has two small bunks so couples will either need to squeeze or sleep separately. The property is in a good location, right on the water, in a beautiful bay with great hiking within walking distance from the treehouse. Access to quaint towns, Victoria and Sydney are within a 20-30 minutes drive.

We stayed here mainly because we wanted to scuba dive and be on the water. The diving in Smokehouse Bay was similar to Hood Canal and Puget Sound diving, but with more kelp. We saw a high diversity of starfish, a large ling cod, squid eggs and lots of jellies as well as rockfish and crabs. There was a harbor seal there everyday but he did not come visit us while we dove. Meron told us there was a wolf eel, but we did not get to see it unfortunately. There is a small skiff sunken off the end of the dock which looked to be prime habitat for a GPO but it appeared unoccupied at the time we dove.

We are hesitant about staying here again as the doors on the room don't lock while away, which would not be an issue except that there were lots of people (smoking etc.) in-and-out of the adjacent buildings all three nights we stayed there. This made sitting out on the water, having a fire, or even just relaxing on the deck of the treehouse undesirable. We spent a lot of our time off the property. There was also a lot of garbage around the facility.

Meron and his partner were kind and friendly, even providing ice for us when my husband fell. Meron let us paddle around in his canoe which was very enjoyable.
