Glamping and getting our Ewok on!
Ever since a friend of mine told me about the Rockwater Secret Cove Resort on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve always wanted to go here. I suppose a 7th year anniversary is as good a reason as any.
Getting to Rockwater Secret Cove Resort was a breeze. Just a short 40 minute ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale. Then a 45 minute drive up the coast to Halfmoon Bay. In less than two hours, it felt like we were a world away from Vancouver.
Imagine panoramic ocean views, coastal indigenous forest, arbutus trees, and a fun treetop boardwalk that reminds one of Return of the Jedi. And that’s even before getting to our tenthouse suite #57.
PRO TIP: Because the tents are situated close to the boardwalk, I recommend booking the tents just a little ways further down on the slope, or close to the water’s edge, if available.
The tents themselves are beautifully appointed with heated slate floors, hydrotherapy tub, shoji screens, a fireplace, kingsized bed and a private veranda.

As beautiful as it was in the day time, it was even more magical at night…
And because this is Vancouver in March, we experienced some intermittent rain, but we didn’t mind at all. How could we? Nestled in our bed with the fireplace on, we delighted in listening to the rain bounce off our canopy roof.
Turn off your devices. Bring some books with you. Go on some hikes. And sit in the disco bath. Seriously, your cares will just melt away staying here. We only wish we could’ve stayed more than a night. Perhaps for a 10th anniversary, we’ll treat ourselves to an entire weekend at the Rockwater Secret Cove Resort.
