From centuries past, as people traveled the waters of the Gulf Islands, they would seek the shores of "The Green Place", to rest, to meet, to rekindle their spirit and prepare to journey on. It is "The Green Place" that has become The Haven, still offering a warm welcome and shelter to all that come our way.

The Haven is a resort like no other. A stunning oceanfront acreage surrounded by the natural beauty of old growth cedars, tidal pools and vibrant sunsets. As you walk our grounds, you will find trails and gardens, hot-tubs and pools, sauna and gym. There are places to gather and places to be alone, with eagles and herons wandering the sky, whales on their journey, seals and sea lions calling from the ocean.

The Haven Resort flourishes in a beautiful setting of rolling lawns, waving evergreens, salal and ferns, embracing the waters of Taylor Bay on scenic Gabriola Island. With rooms and cabins nestled on the seaside and tucked among the trees, we offer the pleasures of an idyllic country retreat just 20 minutes by ferry from downtown Nanaimo.

And most of all, The Haven is people. Come and enjoy the warmth and acceptance of the people that make The Haven a resort like no other. Step into a uniquely inviting environment and become part of our family for a few days. Our welcoming staff delights in offering you the opportunity to be served with heart, in an atmosphere where everything is possible and nothing is too much trouble.
