Splendour Undiminished
 
Imagine walking along ten kilometers of pristine beach shimmering with surf. Stand on our decks to gaze at wave-dashed, offshore islands then explore the rocky headlands and secluded coves along this fabled stretch of sand. Long Beach, the jewels of the West Coast, world famous for its sands, sunsets and surf, compels visitors to walk, beachcomb and surf its sparkling shoreline.

The lodge has always aimed to preserve the natural surroundings at MBL. From the outset, they carefully chose the building sites, planned the structures, imagined their future here, with the greatest respect the environment. They also take pride in creative use of recycled heritage materials in the lodges – materials used in construction and décor alike.
 
The first lodge to be built at Middle Beach, our Lodge at the Beach, features classic West Coast architecture in its use of heavy timbers and classic board and batten cedar siding. Warm comfortable sleeping accommodations are grouped around exquisite oceanfront lounges in a decor of rustic West Coast simplicity. The use of recycled wood during this first building phase included timbers salvaged from notable Victoria landmarks such as the Ogden Point Ice Plant in Victoria Harbour. When all the nails had been removed, these timbers were milled and re-used to create fine furnishings including the dining room harvest tables, cabinetry, washstands, beds and side tables. Plank floors of recycled birch wood was laid in the main lounge, while in the central living room, a massive fireplace was crafted from river rock from the nearby Kennedy River. Many of the furnishings are collectibles and antiques sourced from all parts of Canada. A writer who visited on numerous occasions commented "Ralph Lauren would be happy here."
