Travel less – Relax more
The Lodge at Weir’s Beach is located in tranquil Metchosin, about 45 minutes from downtown Victoria. It’s easy to get to, yet far enough to feel like you’re away. Plus, no ferries to catch or Malahat traffic to navigate!
The sandy beach in front of the lodge will amaze you, as will the views to Victoria and Mt. Baker. You’ll be practicing yoga in an ocean-view studio.
Enjoy Luxury Accommodations
The Lodge at Weir’s Beach has six spacious guest rooms that can be configured with single or king beds, for double and triple accommodation. The owner, who is a yoga instructor herself, has thoughtfully decorated and equipped the lodge with comfort and luxury in mind.
Savour Healthy Gourmet Food
We believe that great food is an important and memorable part of any retreat. Nourish your body with delicious food incorporating local ingredients. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian options will be available, along with some special treats!
Choose from Plenty of Options for Your Unstructured Time
- Relax in the 8-person hot tub
- Sit around the fire-pit overlooking the beach
