Perfect accommodation—the highlight of our three week trip in Canada so far. Very well-equipped kitchen, thoughtfully and tastefully decorated accommodation, fluffy towels, super comfy bed, unbeatable view—the place was worth every cent and more. Highly recommend that anyone visiting Malcolm Island and the welcoming community of Sointula stay here. Already considering when we can plan our return trip from Germany.

Beautifully decorated with everything you need for a comfortable stay. An evening soak in the outdoor tub was fabulous and peaceful. The ocean view and sunsets were lovely. We highly recommend staying at Island Alchemy for a quiet get away.

We had a lovely stay at Island Alchemy. I had a bubble bath in the claw foot tub on the private deck and two deer came and nibbled the grass 15 feet from me - delightful! The accomodations were perfect - comfy bed, well equiped kitchen, luxurious towels and robes. The view is gorgeous - full on ocean where you can watch the fishing boats trundle by. No whales spotted but we did see one on the ferry on the way to this beautiful destination.

Sadly now a 5 rating means there was nothing wrong with a place which leaves no way to describe how this unit excels above all the other 5 stars. It is even more spectacular than the listing. Getting on (and especially off) the island. An be a bit tricky so plan to go EARLY and enjoy the wait. Cindy was a wonderful host. The unit and the island itself deserve more the five stars.

The room was perfect. Spotlessly clean, very well equiped and beautifully decorated. It is a very comfortable suite, excellent furniture, bed and bedding very nice and comfortable. Most enjoyable is the outdoor patio well furnished, with an amazing view of the ocean. A plus is the bath tub with hot and cold water, shower nozzle and bubble bath. Privacy screen in place if needed. Kitchen area is well equipped. The hostess is most helpful and friendly.
