The YukonHome/Where to stay/Sechelt/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Sechelt
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in Sechelt, from waterfront resorts to small cottages and B&Bs. It is for travellers who want a base on the Sunshine Coast for boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking and beachcombing, whether for a summer short break or a quieter spring or autumn stay.
Staying in Sechelt
Sechelt is a small coastal town used as a base for outdoor recreation: boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking and beachcombing. The coastline is deeply indented with coves and inlets, and the land behind it rises into forested slopes of the Coast Mountains. The climate is mild, with warm, dry summers and wet, cool winters, and events such as the Sechelt Arts Festival and the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts give the town a busy cultural side despite its relaxed, small-town atmosphere.
The hotels on this shortlist sit along Highway 101, Wharf Road, Sechelt Inlet Road and the roads around Davis Bay and Porpoise Bay. The commercial core along Wharf Road and Cowrie Street is walkable, with shops, restaurants and the Davis Bay waterfront close by, while the sheltered inlet side around Porpoise Bay is a short drive away. Couples and small groups are drawn to the 3-star properties with sea views, families to those with family rooms and playgrounds, and business or short-break visitors to the ones closest to the centre, just 1.1 km away.
