Alert Bay, 'Oceanview Cabins'

A very well established profitable resort motel business.

‘Oceanview Cabins’ are located in Alert Bay on the south east end of Cormorant Island. Without question this is the premier choice for accommodations in Alert Bay. It is an attractive, unique and well maintained resort motel that has been operational since the mid 1980’s when the first seven cabins were developed.

This resort is the perfect destination for travelers looking for relaxation and comfort, or travelers looking for adventure. It is just minutes away from some of Alert Bay’s finest attractions. Enjoy the good fishing and whale watching or just relax in peace and the natural beauty surrounding you.

The offering consists of 2 separate lots totalling 2.35 acres. The Seller has title to one lot and an option to purchase the other. The property is in a location that offers beautiful views to the north east across Cormorant Channel and the Broughton Archipelago all the way to the beautiful snow-capped mainland mountain range.

The property is nicely landscaped mostly in lawn with many native and ornamental trees and shrubs and is near the end of the road so the setting is very quiet and private. It is located adjacent to a paved 3000ft airstrip that is very lightly used, however, offers a tremendously convenient option for guest transportation.

This well designed resort is comprised of 12 freestanding cottages that provide a total of 14 very clean, well appointed, fully self-contained suites. All the buildings are in immaculate condition and a number have been constructed within the last few years. The other buildings have been extensively renovated.

Each cabin has an entrance area, living area with a free-standing electric fireplace, dining area, galley style kitchen and a full bathroom as well as various sized covered decks. The cabins are all situated to take advantage of the beautiful location and ocean views.

There is also a 2 level 2885 sq.ft. primary resort office and accommodation building built in 1985 and totally renovated last year. This provides a spacious owner’s / manager’s residence with a reception office area and a one bedroom basement suite as well as a storage room and a laundry area for staff and guests.

There is additional detached storage plus an expansive ocean view patio deck set up with a large BBQ pit and fire pit for all guests to enjoy. Nothing else on the island comes close. This is a well established profitable business with a great future.

The oldest community in the North Vancouver Island area, the Village of Alert Bay is located on the east end of Cormorant Island in the only bay on the island that provides sheltered moorage on a year round basis.

The Village provides a range of services, including a hospital with three full time doctors on staff, a dental clinic, pharmacy, restaurants, gift shops, liquor store, & laundry, all located within walking distance of the ferry. A breakwater and government wharf, located close to the marine fuel docks, provides safe moorage. Alert Bay is rich in cultural heritage and easily accessible by a scenic ferry ride from Port McNeill. Cormorant Island also has a paved air strip.

Visitors can enjoy many activities such as whale watching, (close by is the largest concentration of Killer Whales in the world), eco-tours, kayaking, hiking and biking.

Alert Bay is the gateway to Knight & Kingcome Inlets and is close to the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park, a wilderness area consisting of a maze of several small islands, inlets and adjacent foreshore at the southern extremity of Queen Charlotte Strait.

The numerous remote, solitary islands in the marine park are undeveloped, largely undiscovered and provide access to some of the worlds most phenomenal waterways and coastlines, which teem with an array of indigenous marine and coastal wildlife, tremendous scenery, unlimited and unique fishing, kayaking and swimming opportunities and almost endless exploring.
