Due to a limitation in our Property Management System and API on our new website, the system can’t accurately filter listings based on their minimum booking requirements. As a result, cottages with a minimum stay (e.g., Cottage 25 Cat’s Pajamas with a 2-night minimum) will still show up in the search results even if only 1 night is selected. However, you won’t be able to book them if you try, as they require a longer stay.

Cottages that allow for advanced 1 night bookings are located in Port Renfrew. All other cottages have a 2 night minimum.
