Located on North Pender
Island, everything you need
is right here at the Timbers.
The caretaker keeps the
grounds manicured and the
facilities maintained. So
much to do and see, you
never have to leave this
55 acre pender island retreat to get the
fun and relaxation you deserve.
With several hot spots around
the property, all guests
have access to free, high-speed
wireless internet.
 The
Timbers pool, open from
late May until Labour Day
weekend, is heated to a
comfortable 85 degrees.
Sanitized using recent technology,
it’s completely chlorine-free.
While the kids take turns
on the water slide, adults
can relax comfortably in
the deck chairs under the
covered lounge area. For
those brave enough to take
a dip in the sea, there
is easy access to the cold
waters of Bedwell Harbour
from the boat launch.
Children of all ages love
the large play area complete
with swing set, teeter totter,
slide and trampoline. The
lawn is perfect for a game
of tag or horseshoes.
The Timbers proudly features
a private 18 hole Frisbee
golf course. Disc golf is
much like traditional golf,
only instead of a ball and
clubs players use a flying
disc. Easy to learn and
great for all ages, this
activity is fun for the
whole family. Frisbees are
provided, but avid disc
golfers are encouraged to
bring their own.
With 55 acres of forest
and fields to explore, the
Timbers offers trails
for the whole family to
enjoy. The large ponds at
The Timbers are home to
many ducks and are frequently
visited by the great blue
heron, too. While strolling
through the grounds, bring
along some treats (no bread,
please) and watch the resident
ducks scramble excitedly
to gobble up their snack.
The rocky seashore, too,
is fun to explore at low
tide. No doubt, you’ll
see some starfish and hermit
crabs. With the ocean “right
there” and a 14 foot
aluminum boat available
for your use at the nominal
fee of $50.00, what better
way to spend a few hours
than cruising the calm waters
of Bedwell Harbour? If you’ve
got a kayak, you’ll
love paddling around the
islands. Keep a lookout
for seals, bald eagles and
killer whales.
The Timbers is a working
farm with sheep and chickens.
It’s great fun to
watch the chickens scramble
for the table scraps they
are fed each day. You may
even purchase fresh eggs
and veggies when they’re
in season.
Other
Pender Island Activities
- 14 foot Aluminum
Boat
Want to travel to Poets
Cove Resort for lunch at
the pub? Or maybe take a
picnic to Beaumont Marine
Park? To enhance your Pender
experience, the Timbers
provides a 14 foot aluminum
boat with a 15 hp motor.
The boat is available to
guests during their stay
for a nominal fee of $50.00,
which includes gasoline.
While use of the boat is
shared with all guests,
there is usually lots of
available time if you plan
ahead.
The dock may not include
power.
If you want to arrive by
boat, The Timbers’
100 foot floating cement
dock is suitable for most
water craft and float planes.
Dock space is free of charge,
but limited to Timbers guests
only and must be arranged
prior to your stay. The
Timbers’ 100 foot
dock is sheltered and secure.
It’s a safe place
to tie up your boat during
your stay. To ensure that
there is space, be sure
to make a reservation for
the dock when booking your
cabin.
How about fishing? If it’s
a few hours of fishing you’re
hoping for, the sheltered
waters between North and
South Pender are superb.
A valid fishing license
is required and may be obtained
at Poets Cove Marina or
at the Driftwood Auto Centre.
The Timbers does not provide
fishing equipment, so be
sure to bring your own.
Great for Celebrations!
Airy and spacious, with
large windows looking out
to the forest, The Drying
Shed is an ideal location
for all emorable occasions.
This space can seat up to
100 guests. It’s perfect
for wedding receptions,
family reunions or corporate
retreats. The large, fully-equipped
kitchen has multiple sinks,
a large refrigerator, a
freezer, an Ultraline stove,
microwaves and all the dishes,
glassware and utensils needed
for a celebration. The Drying
Shed offers easy access
for everyone, including
those in wheelchairs.
The Drying Shed, as its
name suggests, is used frequently
to process the farm’s
produce. Here we dry flowers,
hang he bulbs in preparation
for storage and preserve
the many varieties of fruit
and vegetables. When not
in use for these purposes,
the building is a warm and
inviting gathering place.
The drying shed is normally
locked and only available
by booking prior to arrival.
- Gazebo Gatherings
Join other guests to roast
hotdogs and marshmallows
at the large gazebo. With
many wooden benches, picnic
tables and a fire pit, it’s
an ideal gathering place
for family and friends,
old and new. Just a short
stroll from the cottages
with a view overlooking
Beaumont Park and Bedwell
Harbour, this gazebo is
a special place. The Gazebo
also marks the start of
the Timbers Frisbee golf
course. Why not grab your
Frisbees and challenge some
of the other guests to a
round?
In the off-season, the Gazebo
is a great spot to enjoy
the outdoors and still be
sheltered by a cozy fire.
During the summer months,
there is a NO
FIRES ANYWHERE
ban on the Gulf Islands.
The large communal fireplace
is unavailable at this time.
