The Space:

Wickham's Wake is a pet-friendly, three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage located in the Wild Coast Cottages community of Port Renfrew. Surrounded by temperate rainforest, the cottage offers comfortable accommodations with views toward the inlet and ocean from many areas of the home and outdoor living spaces.



The open-concept upper level features a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and cozy living room with a propane fireplace, Smart TV with Netflix, board games, books, and comfortable seating. Large windows and the spacious deck provide a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the surrounding scenery, and watch the sunset over the inlet. A full bathroom is also located on this level.



Downstairs you'll find a second full bathroom, laundry facilities, and three bedrooms. Two bedrooms each feature a queen bed and walk out to the covered slate patio, with views toward the surrounding forest and ocean. The third bedroom includes two twin beds, making the cottage well suited for families or small groups. Each bed is made with fresh linens, duvets, and a selection of pillows for your comfort.



Wickham's Wake offers three outdoor living areas for guests to enjoy. The upper deck is furnished with Adirondack chairs and overlooks the surrounding rainforest, inlet, and ocean. The covered lower patio provides a sheltered space to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind with a book. A third seating area is located below the cottage and is accessed by cedar steps. This cliff-side space includes a wood-burning fire pit (when fire restrictions permit) and offers another place to relax and enjoy the property's natural surroundings.



Please note that the lower seating area is situated within the natural rainforest environment. Vegetation and views may vary throughout the seasons as the surrounding landscape naturally changes.



The Neighborhood:

Wickham's Wake is located within the Wild Coast Cottages community. This is a neighbourhood of individually owned cottages, so there are neighbouring homes nearby. While you'll have exclusive use of the cottage and its outdoor spaces, neighbouring properties may be visible, and you may see or hear other owners or guests enjoying their own cottages.



Each cottage in the community is privately owned. Some are vacation rentals, while many are used exclusively by their owners and families.



If you're visiting friends or family staying in another cottage, please return any dishes, chairs, games, or other items to Wickham's Wake before you depart. We also kindly ask that you respect the privacy and property of our neighbors throughout your stay.

From Wickham's Wake, you're just a short drive or walk to local amenities, including the Port Renfrew General Store, Bridgeman's Bistro, the Pub, Pacific Gateway Marina, and the Government Wharf.



Port Renfrew is known for its world-class fishing, hiking, beaches, and old-growth forests. Popular nearby attractions include Botanical Beach, Avatar Grove, Fairy Lake, Lizard Lake, Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, and numerous scenic forest service roads leading to lakes, rivers, and hiking trails.



Please note that Port Renfrew is a small, remote coastal community. Grocery options, restaurants, fuel, and other services are limited compared to larger towns, and some businesses operate reduced hours or seasonal schedules. We recommend purchasing groceries and specialty items before arriving or planning ahead during your stay.

🌿 Rainforest Setting

The cottage is nestled in the temperate rainforest of Port Renfrew, surrounded by nature. Our team thoroughly prepares the property before every guest arrival, including removing cobwebs, leaves, pine needles, bird droppings, and other natural debris. However, because the cottage is located within the natural habitat of local wildlife, these elements can return quickly—sometimes even between cleaning and your arrival. This is part of the unique experience of staying in a coastal rainforest.

A perfect place to get away for a couple days and just relax. If you are looking for peace and quiet then this is it. The atmospheric river kept us mostly indoors but we still managed a walk on Sombrio beach.

Beautiful views! Beautiful area! Really disappointed with the cleanliness of the kitchen! Had to rewash EVERYTHING we used. It was disgusting! Never experienced this before. Hopefully the owners take note. The pillows and beds were very poor. Such a beautiful spot, and we had a good time! Just expected a higher standard.

Idyllic setting on the bay

Wickham cottage faced the serene bay of Port Renfrew. From the deck we could see the entire coast line. The interior was nicely appointed and designed with three bedrooms on the lower level and a full bathroom, laundry room and storage. Two of the bedrooms had views of the bay. The upper level had a spacious living room with a gas fireplace, deck, full bathroom and kitchen. The only issues we faced were drain problems in both bathrooms. When we asked for extra linens for our four night stay we were told that we must pay $5 for each item.
