North Vancouver Attractions
Come Stay Where the Locals Play
North Vancouver, BC (or the North Shore, as it is more often called), is one of the best kept secrets in the world. In this hidden gem, you will find natural beauty, an abundance of year-round recreational activities, a plethora of exquisite culinary experiences and many vibrant daily/nightly entertainment.
You are minutes away from world class skiing, mountain biking and hiking. Having 3 local mountains nearby in Grouse Mountain, Cypress Mountain and Mt Seymour – and not to mention a short drive away from Whistler/Blackcomb, your only dilemma would be which one to choose for that day! Other major attractions nearby include Capilano Suspension Bridge, Sewell’s Marina, Stanley Park and much, much more.
Come stay with us to discover why Vancouver residents come to relax and enjoy the tranquil beauty of the North Shore!
