Where Artisan Elegance feels like Home

A seamless intertwining of handcrafted wood and light is perched over heritage orchards, ponds and streams—all looking out towards a vast ocean expanse. Spectacular ocean views, island artisan-crafted beds and sustainably salvaged fir wood trim and flooring brighten all the Lightwater Cove guest rooms.

Archipelago Room

The Archipelago Room’s floor to ceiling windows and private balcony overlook one of our heritage orchards—offering a sublime view down the centre of the cove to the forest islands and mountains beyond.
