Resort Experiences

Sports

We offer a variety of sports across the resort with all necessary equipment available at the main office. Enjoy a game of volleyball, bocce, tennis, horseshoes or basketball while surrounded by tall conifers.

Dock

Our spectacular dock is a place to moor, launch or relax. In front of a beautiful backdrop of West Coast scenery find plenty of mooring space, safe swimming water and views of Rebecca Spit.

Stonehouse

Steps from the shore line of Drew Harbour, our stonehouse offers a place to cook, play and mingle with friends and family.

Paddleboarding

For many, paddleboarding is a mellow alternative to kayaking. With paddleboard rentals available on site, it’s the most accessible way to experience the open water at Taku.

Beachcombing

The beachfront is full of sea life to explore. Kids can spend hours turning rocks over and delighting with what they can find; crabs, sea stars, fish and shells to name a few. At the front desk we have a bucket and shovel with a book on what creatures you can find.

Stargazing

Bring a blanket and get cozy on the beach away from the lights. Once your eyes adjust it’s amazing how many stars you can see, especially as we’re north at the 50^th parallel and away from the city lights.

Weddings

Imagine a magnificent seaside ceremony followed by an extraordinary reception. With all your guest’s accommodations right on-site, our wedding venue makes planning your special day that much easier.

Nature's Paradise We had not been back to Taku in several years since we usually make last minute plans in the summer to visit Quadra and find that the rooms are fully booked. We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to get accommodations last June and the place was as wonderful as in our past visits. I think it was probably around 15 years ago when we made our first visit there and we had a chance for 3-4 other visits afterwards, but it has been some years since our last stay at Taku. Besides the dock being heavily damaged from winter storms, the place looked as beautiful as ever and the views are always incredible there. What really made our visit special were the employees at Taku who were always very friendly and helpful. The efficient resort manager Lynden still remembered us from all of the past visits and the new outgoing assistant manager Kelti was a great addition to the staff. We had an issue with the original accommodations that we reserved, but management was able to move us to a different unit. This is the best place to stay on the island. Taku is still paradise!

Great place to stay. Stayed here with family and friends in 2 bedroom terrace unit. Very spacious rooms simply but adequately furnished. Clean, and comfy beds. Each room has full ensuite with shower-over-bath, either side of sitting room so feels very private. Set in trees with a view of the water. Huge deck with bbq, accessible from every room. Spectacular setting across from Rebecca Spit, ideal for kayaking etc. Docks being rebuilt after previous storm but useable. No food available on site but 2 minutes drive to Heriot Bay Inn and walk to bakery. Well equipped kitchen.Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

A marvellous getaway We have just spent the last 3 days at the Upper Beach House at Taku Resort. Awesome accommodation with all the amenities one could want. Gorgeous views, great location and easy access to other parts of the island. Very attentive staff, easy to contact and available to help if needed. We definitely hope to come back—thank you!!!

Best stay on Quadra we've had! We got to Quadra Island at least once a year and haven't stayed in the same place twice, but we will be returning to Taku!! We stayed in Cabin 5, which is the last of the row. Super quaint, lots of privacy, excellent views. They even set out bowls and treats for our dog! The bathroom had a soaker tub , though the water pressure is low so it took longer then normal to fill it. We loved that there wasn't a tv dominating the small space and spent hours reading or simply staring out the front windows. The kids loved the loft! The downstairs bed wasn't the most comfortable, I think the loft ones are newer but only singles. The front desk clerk was super friendly and we found a surprise LV 2 charger for our EV!!! This was our first long range trip in our EV and knew that there wasn't charging available on the island so didn't plan to do much sightseeing, so this was a wonderful surprise! We also had very strong wifi ( that seemed to be the biggest complaint in other reviews we read). This was a wonderful stay and we can't wait to be back!

Great place for outdoor adventure lovers Our family of adult children, under six years old grandsons, and a medium sized dog stayed in the Large Beachfront Cabin. It was snug for four adults and two kids, with an A Frame structure somewhat limiting floor space for sitting and a very steep ladder access to the loft with four beds. We appreciated the gas fireplace, but felt quite disappointed that the communal hot tub was closed, no doubt because of lingering COVID fears of management, which is completely COVID protocol compliant. But wow! The cabin has a lovely deck with BBQ, looking over a green lawn to a terrific stony beach was the best view ever. We loved star gazing from this beach. There is also an amazing dock perfect for crabbing and fishing at our time of year...swimming would be great in the summer. We enjoyed the otters and seals that hung out on the booms. In addition to playing on the dock (bring kids lifejackets) we enjoyed the cute play structure and big swing tire. Near the resort is a good grocery shopping and coffee shop and in a ten minutes walk there’s a charming dining room with pub. There’s also a fine flat walk on Rebecca Spit. We had a wonderful family game of soccer there. Then we went beachcombing. Yes!Quadra is an easy Gulf Island to visit from Vancouver Island, on one short ferry, and with many accessible beaches, hikes, and cultural sites. It is the best of West Coast living. And Taku takes full advantage of it all.

Momma's R&R getaway We stayed in a 2 bedroom Terrace suite for 2 nights.The suite was very well appointed, beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. Just a short walk to the HBI for dinner was very convenient. The small deck was a great place to enjoy the view and the ocean traffic.

An Amazing Getaway! We stayed in the Upper Beach House at Taku Resort. It was a perfect getaway in a stunning setting. When we arrived there was an eagle sitting on a log to the left of the dock and a heron to the right. A wildlife welcoming committee! From the living room or dining room you can see the 180 degree view, up and down the beach, over to Rebecca Spit, Desolation Sound and the mountains beyond. Whether it was stormy or sunny, the view was always amazing. The unit is well appointed and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Lynden and his staff were lovely to deal with. We liked it so much that we decided to make this a yearly getaway!
