Golf
Vancouver Island offers some of the most premier golf courses in British Columbia and, from The Old House Village, there is a fantastic selection of courses for golfers of all levels and handicaps. Crown Isle (Graham Cook design), Storey Creek, Fairwinds, Morningstar Golf Course, Pheasant Glen (the latter four designed by Les Furber) are all within a one hour drive of your suite. For those who are intimidated by a premier course, both the quaint towns of Courtenay and Comox offer some terrific, “less intimidating” greens.

If you want to observe killer whales in their natural habitat or be absolutely amazed viewing Grizzly bears in the wild, there are trips available to create an experience of a lifetime! Let your “wildest” thoughts and our Concierge service advisors create unforgettable adventures for you!
Float Plane Tours
Enjoy a short tour flying over the local islands or perhaps your style is a longer tour of Desolation Sound or a local glacier. You can even get dropped off by float plane at Hot Springs Cove or at Chatterbox Falls in Jervis Inlet, where you can dream away a couple of hours while enjoying the spectacular surroundings and a picnic lunch.
Kayaking

Fishing
Everyone knows that Vancouver Island is one of the best places in the world to go fishing! From the Old House Village Suites, we can arrange fully guided fishing charters for fresh water fishing, fly fishing, salmon fishing, catch & release … just name your lure and bait!
Biking
Name your set of wheels! The island offers a variety of bicycle tours, be it road bikes, mountain bikes, or motor bikes.
If you are a mountain biking enthusiast, you can experience varied terrain by riding the gentle trails around Comox Lake, or by testing and improving your cross country abilities on the trails in the Cumberland recreation area or in Strathcona Provincial Park. You can visit Mount Washington Alpine Resort and rent a bike or take your own up the sightseeing chairlift to experience the thrills, chills, and spills of some of North America’s most incredible single-track terrain.
Diving
You can snorkel with the seals or dive in the renowned “ Emerald Sea”. Vancouver Island and the Courtenay area is a destination for those who seek the most exhilarating and exciting cold water dives that can be found in the world!
