Beautiful property
This is a great place to escape the city for a few days. The villas are huge, comfortable with great outdoor decks. The spa experience was excellent & the spa garden is a great bonus. The restaurant service & menu is the best in Pender Harbour. The only negative is that the property is in a marina & there isn’t really anywhere to swim in the ocean. I think this would be a problem in the heat of the summer.

Let Down
Quite disappointed with our stay. We booked a two bedroom villa for a relaxing couples getaway. We booked a pet friendly villa as we were travelling with our two dogs. It wasn’t until check in that we were informed of a $35 PER DAY, PER DOG extra fee. Total scam. We called the front desk weeks in advance to request an early check in which was confirmed. The day of our check in we phoned again to re/confirm and were treated to the rudest hospitality employee I have ever encountered. She kept telling us how insanely busy she was and that she would not be able to accommodate our request. Fair enough, I understand things get busy and can change on the fly. Upon arrival the “super busy” woman at the front desk was sat staring at her phone. Every interaction with her made us feel like we were a major imposition. Had to call about a few features in our room not functioning properly and were made to feel like we were a problem. Not the warm, welcoming hospitality you expect from the lovely Sunshine Coast. If you don’t like people, I suggest a career change. We were given a ground floor villa which was beautiful and had a stunning view but our upstairs neighbours had small children that liked to run marathons at 6am. If you don’t want to be woken up by stomping I suggest requesting a top floor unit. All that being said, the gentleman who helped us check in was wonderful and the lovely woman at check out who I believe is named Shari was exceptional. They both deserve recognition for their service and were an absolute pleasure to deal with.

Too expensive in ‘off season’
Overall the property is lovely and relaxing but it is hard to justify the price when the restaurant, pool and kayak/SUP were out of service. Additionally we were charged an unusual add on amount after check out and still have not heard back regarding what that was for despite checking out in person and being told we had no pending charges. Rooms were nice and spacious and the beds were comfy, but again the cost did not match the experience.

Beautiful suite and facilities
We had a wonderful stay at the Painted Boat and a great experience at the spa. The suites all have ocean views and are well equipped, clean and very comfortable. The spa garden and massage was so relaxing and was just what we needed for a mini get away,

Beautiful location in the heart of Pender Harbour
I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of staying at the Painted Boat. Close to the village and hiking trails. The harbour is right in front of the resort and a few lakes are in the area too. The spa is first class and the staff out standing!

Girls trip
Decided to take my mom and gf for a stay. We had an amazing time and we were treated like gold! We also really enjoyed the spa. The massage there had put me to sleep…out of the hundreds of massages I’ve had, this was the first time I felt that relaxed!

Amazing Resort with even more amazing staff!
It was a beautiful holiday getaway and the entirety of the resort was filled with happy and kind guests who really made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and special. My children really appreciated all the time that we were able to spend together in such a beautiful villa/Resort located in the quaint village of Madeira Park.

Girls weekend away
Loved every second at this beautiful resort! It was a girls trip away to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. Everything was exceptional and the rooms were nicer that we expected! The spa and grounds were lovely. Can’t wait to get back there one day!

first class resort
all of the people that greeted us, and served us were friendly and welcoming and helpful. we ate at the hotel restaurant, which had just opened for the season with a new chef. The service the view, and the meal were incredible. I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent resort. The suite we stayed in, was very spacious with every possible convenience and luxury.
