After a Long day of driving
What a pleasant find for us! I could stay here for a week, I swear! I am enchanted! We're from Whitehorse, Yukon and don't get out for holidays too often. What a treat!
What an amazing getaway
More than worth our expections...beautiful room, relaxing hot tub, comfy bed, and to
wake up to Waynes World Famous pancakes! For one night all our day to day
worries melted away.
It was completely by chance
and extraordinary good luck that we came to stay at the Hummingbird. When Cheryl showed us to our fabulous "apartment", we were astounded and have enjoyed every moment in it. We did drag ourselves away to visit Tofino, Ucluelet and the Pacific Rim National Park where we walked the Rainforest Trail. Back in Port Alberni, we took the steam railway to the sawmill, bringing back memories of school lessons many years ago about logging in Canada. An interesting visit to the Mars Bombers at Sproat Lake, only 15 min from the Hummingbird, and watching salmon swimming up to spawn at Stamp Falls. This is our last week in Canada and it just gets better.
We found a "second" home
We had a flood in the kitchen and needless to say we were very upset over the idea of having to leave our home for an indefinite period of time. We really would not have made it to today without your hospitality. The suite is bright and comfortable and has all the amenities. I have been able to cook meals, do laundry and work at home on my computer. We have been able to go to work each day without any worries.
When we found your Haven of Rest and Relaxation
We were both weary travellers. Now we are both fully refreshed and relaxed. You have both created a unique place to stay.
Without a doubt
Our bed was the most comfortable bed we have slept in for a very long time. I loved being able to pick up the cats and go for a walk in the garden. A lovely retreat
It has been delightful
The hummingbird is noted, among other things, for its beauty and the attention to detail that it takes in building its nest. The Hummingbird is a wonderful compliment to that tradition. There was a light rain falling the day we arrived - an event unfamiliar to us desert dwellers but the sight of the Hummingbird must have touched a memory of home. We stopped on impulse just to enquire and decided to stay two nights.
What a great way to end our holiday
We decided on the spur of the moment to pack an overnight bag & drive to Port Alberni. Beautiful day, awesome scenery. We stopped at Cameron Lake for a swim like two giggly kids. It was sooo refreshing. Just driving around, we spotted the Hummingbird & really liked the look of the house & grounds. After Cheryl & Wayne graciously showed us the two empty rooms, the games room, the beautiful backyard and hot tub, we chose the Dogwood Room. It was the best sleep we've had away from home & we loved it so much we stayed another night, did the tourist thing & we're booked for two days in August.
Wonderful finale to our wedding
We relaxed in the hot tub before spending our honeymoon night in the Sunburst Suite. We woke to rays of sunshine, in a luxurious bed with fabulous pillows surrounded by elegance, charm & comfort. This was the perfect place to awaken at, anticipating how our love would continue to grow from this day forward. We loved our stay here.
Sip on a glass of wine
What a perfect place to relax in the hot tub and garden the night before our wedding! It was such a memorable time that we will always remember.
