April Point Resort - Campbell
River & Vancouver Island
It’s the true West Coast feel that strikes you
first, so conveniently close to Vancouver and so
delightfully different!
Friendly staff, top quality fishing and the feel
of home is what keeps guests returning. Located
on the shore of Quadra Island, the resort is a
short 10 minute water taxi ride
(free)
from
Painters Lodge / Campbell River. Activity
choices feature daily guided fishing trips,
wildlife tours (by zodiac) and bikes to explore
Quadra Island. Guests love the Aveda Spa,
constructed over the water with views of
landscaped gardens and forest. April Point’s
central dining room and bar are popular meeting
points, where warm atmosphere, new friends and
fabulous views combine to make guests feel at home.
The resort’s fine cuisine reflects the
outstanding culinary talents found on Canada’s
west coast. Guests also have charging
privileges at Painter’s Lodge for everything
from dining to fishing trips.
Quick tips from our trip:
From
start to finish this resort has the feel of
wearing your favourite clothes, it just feels
right. Hard to define in words, but virtually
everyone had the same sense of being at home in
your own resort. Nice international mix of
guests made the evening’s great fun in the large
dining room. We laughed a lot! The food was
exactly what we wanted - good, healthy portions
for hungry outdoors people, beautifully prepared
with an interesting menu. Thumbs up to the chef!
We’d return to April Point in a heartbeat.
The resort is situated on the southern tip of
Quadra Island and reached from Campbell River /
Painters Lodge in 10 minutes by boat.
Quick (approx. 45 minutes) and convenient flight
connections from Vancouver (South Terminal) to
Campbell River plus courtesy shuttle to the
lodge and you can be fishing by lunchtime!
Alternatively, guests may drive to Painter's
Lodge and leave their cars there. The region has a
myriad of islands offering an unbeatable
combination of wildlife and natural beauty.
The acclaimed
Aveda Spa at April Point is the perfect place to
pamper yourself after a day spent enjoying the
great outdoors – after all feeling good is part
of what vacations in Canada’s West are all
about. Aveda signature treatments include Aroma
Hydrotherapy Tub with Chromatherapy, and Sport
Massage (designed for the guy on the go, targets
those sore, aching muscles).
The resort features
49 rooms and a variety of cabins, suites and
houses to suit individual needs. Perfectly
suited to the island environment – a
rustic West Coast decor theme is carried through
the main lodge and guest rooms.
 Activities:
Fishing (including guided salmon fishing trips
and boat charters), whale watching, golfing, spa
treatments, wildlife adventures, kayaking in
Gowlland Harbour and bike or scooter rentals to
explore Quadra Island can be arranged
and purchased on site. Fishing is the top
attraction and the very professional staff
will help get you set up quickly and with
everything you need. Boats are top of the line
and the guides are real pros! A well run operation,
these people have been in the business a long
time – and know exactly what keeps guests
happy.
The cuisine at April Point Resort is a daily
highlight. Menu features fresh seafood, pastas,
and meat dishes. BC’s classic western cuisine
forms a large part of the dining experience and
often includes locally grown, fresh produce. The
Sushi Bar is a popular venue while after dinner
guests may enjoy relaxing in the fireside lounge
in the main lodge. The dining room encourages
guests to linger and enjoy the incredible
views.
