Mayne Island Resort

What Mayne Island Resort does

Mayne Island Resort is a privately-held oceanfront resort operating on Mayne Island in British Columbia's Southern Gulf Islands, roughly one hour by ferry from Vancouver and Victoria. The property combines a preserved 1912 Tudor-style inn (the former Franco Canadian Brickworks boarding house) with architect-designed cottages, one-bedroom villas, two-bedroom villas, and an accessible two-bedroom villa — most units are fully self-contained and all orientation toward Bennett Bay. Ancillary revenue is generated through the on-site Arbutus Grill restaurant, the La Maison Rouge cafe, a Leisure Center (indoor pool, hot tub, steam room, fitness), event hosting (weddings, conferences, retreats), and a $110 per-stay cleaning fee on cottages and villas.

The business serves leisure travelers, couples, families, wedding parties, corporate groups, and Canadian military/first responder guests, with nightly rates ranging from $209 (shoulder-season Inn Queen) to $489 (peak two-bedroom villa). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the WebRez booking engine, phone reservations, email promotions, and a Facebook page, with kayak/watersports activity outsourced to partner Dog Mermaid and catering handled by Smoke and Thyme. Transportation partnerships — BC Ferries as the core access link plus Salt Spring Air, Seair, Kenmore Air, and Harbour Air seaplanes — are themselves a strategic necessity given the island geography, and the resort explicitly markets itself on the heritage of the 1912 building, eco-friendly infrastructure (rainwater collection, on-site sewage treatment), and panoramic Gulf Islands views. The owner is Janice McIntyre (Owner & VP Hospitality); the company is privately held with no disclosed investors, parent company, or institutional capital.
