Haida House

B&B, Motel and Guesthouse
Haida Gwaii, Canada

Facing the Tlell River on one side and the open ocean of the Hecate Strait on the other, Haida House is surrounded by 50 acres of woodland, open sky and water. This cedar tree lodge has 10 simple but comfortable guestrooms, a bar, lounge area and a wonderful restaurant serving a variety of unique appetisers, fresh seafood, local seasonal vegetables, charbroiled meats and decadent desserts.

Why we like Haida House

Haida House was created from a wish to support local communities and conserve the local culture and ecosystem. The islands of Haida Gwaii are little visited in comparison to the rest of Canada and Haida House offers visitors a wonderfully welcoming and comfortable ‘home from home’, from which to explore and learn about the culture of these beautiful islands.
