Nimpkish Hotel

Alert Bay

A continental breakfast is available daily at the inn.

Port Hardy is 43 km from Nimpkish Hotel including a ferry ride, while Port McNeill is 7 km away by ferry. The nearest airport is Port Hardy Airport, 33 km from the inn and a ferry is required to reach the airport. Pemba did her utmost to welcome us and make us feel at home. She cooked us a delicious, healthy gluten free porridge for breakfast and made us wonderful Indian food for supper, like prawn curry and butter chicken, as well as fresh local salmon. She gave us knowledgeable advise about the island, and a very special send-off the evening before we left. We felt very pampered! There are comfortable seating areas, inside and out, overlooking the bay. The hotel is not far from the pub, which has live local entertainment to join in on on Saturday night. A memorable experience.

The Inn has five rooms. We pride ourselves on clean, simple and funky accommodation for the traveler to stay and explore the area. Rooms are private with a shared kitchen and two shared bathrooms Our second story room had a view of the bay and the building itself was on the harbor close to tours and a block from main drag of stores & restaurants. Other guests were polite, quiet and interesting to visit with. Staff seemed genuinely glad to have us there. Bathrooms and community kitchen well stocked and functional. October was a good time to visit Torino area - weather was great and fewer tourists.
