About Tunnel Hill Cottage

Looking for a tranquil spot to call home. Settle in at Tunnel Hill Cottage. A charming four bedroom retreat in beautiful Qualicum Beach. Perfect for longer stays of one month or more; this cozy haven sits on an idyllic 3.5 acre oceanfront estate; tucked away in one of Qualicum Beach’s most sought-after areas.

Located almost next door to much-loved Milner Gardens and just minutes from the Eaglecrest and Memorial Golf Clubs, the Qualicum Beach oceanfront promenade and the charming town centres of Qualicum Beach and Parksville. At Tunnel Hill you are so close to everything; yet you will feel as if you are at your very own beach retreat.

Enter down the ¼ mile, forest-lined private drive to Tunnel Hill Cottage; a charming two storey, four bedroom home. It was the original residence, on this now two home estate property, and sits perched on the edge of the hillside with expansive ocean views. Fully renovated but retaining much of its rustic charm; original old growth Douglas fir floors, large stone fireplace, wood burning stove and even two hand carved Western red cedar totem poles. You and your guests will immediately feel at home.

Tunnel Hill Cottage is ideal for a longer stay. With a large, comfortable living room, separate dining room and King bedroom, all with relaxing ocean views, on the main floor. Plus a fully equipped kitchen, queen room, with garden view, and two full bathrooms. On the upper floor, one queen and one twin room creates the perfect hideaway. Plenty of room to accommodate up to 8 but cozy and comforting when there are just two.

Outdoors, you will discover park-like grounds, woods, grassed areas where young deer are often seen feeding, a secluded garden retreat and “The Tunnel” for which the property is named. A modern marvel, with pathway and lighting, The Tunnel leads to the “picture perfect” beach below. Enjoy the short walk or hop into the golf cart. The beach awaits. Enjoy panoramic 180 degree views to the east and west and across the Salish Sea to the Coast Mountains.

Relax, go swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding or walk for miles on the beautiful sand beach and explore the ocean tide pools. And later gather around the large beachfront fire pit, perfect for an evening campfire and marshmallow roast.

Tunnel Hill is “what memories are made of...”
