Moutcha Bay Resort is a pet-friendly resort that understands pets are an extension of your family. We gladly welcome our guests traveling with pets in our waterfront chalets, mini yurts 1 through 4, and serviced campgrounds. There will be $25 per night, per pet fee (not applicable to campground stays). This fee will not apply to guide dogs or assistive dogs – management has a right to ask for validating identification. We ask that you keep your furry friend in a carrier or on a leash of 6 feet or less and do not leave him or her unattended at any time. Pets must be restrained while in open bed pick-up trucks. Please collect pet waste and deposit it into a trash receptacle. Nootka Sound Resort and Newton Cove Resort are not suitable for pets.

Yes – all of our Resorts offer complimentary Wi-Fi in our guest and meeting rooms. Keep in mind that our Wi-Fi runs on a satellite service and can be spotty at times.

There is no cell phone coverage at any of our Resorts. However, we do offer a complimentary telephone at the Front Desk for guest use.

Gratuities are not included in our pricing and are much appreciated by our shore staff and fishing guides. Gratuities may be added to your room charges and paid for by credit card upon departure. We feel that a gratuity is a reflection of the service you received. A customary gratuity for a fishing guide is between $70-$100 per guest/day on the boat, and 20% of your stay for shore staff.

We do our very best to accommodate food allergies and special requirements. Please let us know of your request prior to your arrival.

Smoking is not permitted in any of our guest rooms or public spaces. Please smoke in designated areas only and dispose of cold cigarette waste in trash receptacles – not on the ground, fire pits, or ocean. Smoking in rooms is subject to a minimum $250 cleaning charge.

All anglers must have a license to fish the tidal or freshwaters in British Columbia and must carry their license at all times when on the water. We ask our guests to purchase their licenses before arrival at our resorts in order to avoid any possible delays.

Daily housekeeping service is provided in each guest room.*
