Just two hours north of Victoria, Parksville and Qualicum Beach offer lots of varied dining opportunities, beautiful scenery and pampered relaxation

We are thrilled to announce that our incredible team at Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort has been honored with the Tourism & Hospitality Award, sponsored and chosen by Parksville Qualicum Beach. This esteemed accolade serves as a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team in supporting the tourism and hospitality industry and enticing visitors to explore our remarkable region.

When you’ve lived somewhere for any stretch of time, it’s easy to lose sight of all the amazing destinations that are right in your own backyard. I’ve visited Victoria a handful of times in my life, and I’ve been to Tofino once, but it was only in the last few months that we’ve taken the time to look at another part of Vancouver Island.

Often, Jake and I will dream up a trip and cram as many places into the experience as possible as a way to ‘taste test’ a bunch of locations just to see where we’d like to come back and to rest and play for a whole week. The taste test trip has us bouncing from place to place, restaurant to restaurant and activity to fun-filled activity. It’s an amazing way to require a vacation after your vacation and always worth the crazy!

True Key Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce the appointment of Tara Ryder as the new General Manager for Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort in Parksville, British Columbia, effective October 1st, 2019.

We gave Summer one of the best send offs with a relaxing Vancouver Island trip to Parksville. Literally, the best way to end of our most favourites Summer’s ever. We had so much fun and created so many family memories. This trip was just the cherry on top of it all! If you tuned into my stories you probably saw most of the trip, but if not today I’m sharing 5 place to visit while in Parksville.
