Tex and Sylvia are very gracious hosts! The lodge is a charming place with sunny rooms, a nice patio and a good view. The island and the lodge were quiet even in July peak season compared to the other islands. I brought my own fan which really helped as the rooms did not have one/AC. The lodge’s location is great, it was easy to walk to the local pub (25mins). Breakfast was included (nice touch) boiled eggs, toast, cereal, yoghurt and a fruit compote with coffee. The shower was amazing. Bed was comfy and rooms a good size. Very comfortable stay. The nicest part of the stay was the spaciousness of the lodge common areas and the hosts!

Conveniently located close to the ferry. The room we stayed in was dog friendly and our fur boy really enjoyed his stay. The hosts are amazing and really made us feel welcomed. The place itself had other great guests staying at the same time and had made our stay even more memorable. Thank you Tex and Sylvia.

Tex and Silvia were great hosts, giving us a week's accommodation at short notice so that we could stay on Saturna that much longer. It's an amazing house, on its way up with newly renovated deck and an amazing view. Just the place to enjoy their hearty breakfasts and great coffee! Ask them about Jack's eggs.

What a lovely place. My husband, daughter and I went to Saturna Island for the weekend to attend a wedding. We rented an RV and didn’t know we could not park it at the campsite. Laura - the owner of the Saturna lodge let us stay in her car park. We were able to use the facilities and have breakfast with the other wedding guests that had booked a room here. The place is really nice and Laura and her whole team were just incredible. They made the trip not for us but also for the newly weds a wonderful once in a lifetime event. Thank you so much! Lots of Love Bianca, Matt and Nelly

We stayed at Saturna Lodge in early-June 2022. It is a beautiful building with a gorgeous view. Our hosts Tex and Sylvia were very nice and have interesting life stories to share. We were especially grateful that they allowed us to check in at 11pm on short notice that same evening. We returned a few weeks later for a multi-night stay. Excellent!
