点评:My husband and I went here for our 25th anniversary and we had a wonderful time! The only reason I gave the "town" 4 stars and not 5 is because there isn't much to do, unless you hike, bike or paddle (we do all three, but this trip was only hiking. The restaurant scene leaves a bit to be desired. Two places we ate - the 1st, for dinner Friday; the 2nd, for lunch on Saturday* - were good, but neither lived up to the hype of their reviews. (*Mama's Japanese Kitchen and Aquí Es México.) Our anniversary dinner was excellent though, at The Lagoon Restaurant at The Painted Boat Resort.
It is an absolutely beautiful area! We live in the greater Vancouver area and I am in North Vancouver a lot riding (MTB) and hiking - and I loved in Jasper, and he, in Whistler, so our bar is set very high. If you are outdoorsy or just want to retreat in a natural setting, this place is perfect! We hiked Mt. Daniel Saturday morning: highly recommended! The view from the (true) summit is spectacular! After lunch, we drove up to the Skookumchuck Narrows at low tide and hiked to the viewpoint, to see the whirlpools - also awesome! (And a MUCH easier hike.) PSA: if you are a cinnamon bun connoisseur, don't bother stopping at the "famous" bakery near the trailhead. They were 'meh' and only a tiny drizzle of icing.
We stayed at Moon Dance Cabin, on Oyster Bay and it was as perfect as one could expect. It was really cool to witness the tidal flats filled by the ocean and receed again and again.
We will definitely return, but next time, for more than a weekend and we will cook our own food.
Oh, and on the way back to the ferry on Sunday, we also hiked the Smuggler's Cove Loop. Definitely do that if you can! Gorgeous!
翻译:我和丈夫来这里庆祝我们的 25 周年结婚纪念日,我们度过了一段美好的时光!我给这个“小镇”4星而不是5星的唯一原因是,这里没什么可玩的,除非你徒步、骑行或划船(我们三种都玩,但这次旅行只是徒步)。餐厅的氛围有点不尽如人意。我们吃了两顿饭——第一顿是周五的晚餐;第二顿是周六的午餐*——都不错,但都没有达到评论的预期。(*Mama's Japanese Kitchen 和 Aquí Es México。)不过,我们在 The Painted Boat Resort 的 The Lagoon Restaurant 吃的周年纪念晚餐非常棒。
这里真是个美丽的地方!我们住在大温哥华地区,我经常在北温哥华骑行(山地自行车)和徒步旅行——我喜欢在贾斯珀,他喜欢在惠斯勒,所以我们的标准很高。如果你喜欢户外活动,或者只是想在自然环境中休息,这里是完美的选择!周六早上我们徒步去了丹尼尔山:强烈推荐!(真正的)山顶景色壮观极了!午饭后,我们开车去了退潮时穿过斯库库姆查克海峡 (Skookumchuck Narrows),徒步前往观景点,欣赏漩涡——同样精彩!(而且徒步轻松得多。)友情提示:如果你是肉桂卷鉴赏家,千万别在步道入口附近的“著名”面包店停留。它们味道一般,只有一点点糖霜。
我们住在牡蛎湾 (Oyster Bay) 的月舞小屋 (Moon Dance Cabin),那里完美无缺,正如预期的那样。亲眼目睹潮滩被海水填满,又一次次退潮,真的很酷。
我们一定会再来的,但下次,我们不会只待一个周末,而且我们会自己做饭。
对了,周日回渡轮的路上,我们还徒步走了走私者湾环线 (Smuggler's Cove Loop)。如果可以的话,一定要去!太美了!
