Kokanee Glacier Resort - Lake-view suites with full kitchens and on-site Asian-inspired dining

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves a Laksa that guests consistently call the best in Nelson, along with stir-fried prawns and other Asian dishes. The restaurant patio overlooks Kootenay Lake, offering a scenic spot for lunch and dinner. This Japanese-influenced restaurant is closed Sundays and Mondays, so guests plan accordingly.

Rooms

Each suite includes a full kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, and kitchen essentials, plus a separate living room with a sofa bed. Some suites have been recently renovated with new decor, and rooms may offer lake or mountain views. The one-bedroom suite configuration functions like a pleasant apartment, with a comfortable main bed and a workable pull-out sofa.

Amenities

BBQ facilities and fire pits are available on site, along with a garden, picnic areas, and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture. A children's playground, board games, and a tree house sit on two acres of manicured lawns with flower beds. Volleyball, fishing, hiking, and skiing are available nearby, and the resort provides ski storage for winter guests.

Location

The resort overlooks Kootenay Lake and is a 10-minute drive from the sandy beaches of Kokanee Creek Provincial Park. Whitewater Ski Resort is 30 km away, and Ainsworth Hot Springs is a 35-minute drive from the property. Downtown Nelson is an 8-mile curvy drive, and the Kootenay Lake ferry to Crawford Bay is close by.

Family & Pet-Friendly

Family rooms and a children's playground, board games, and a tree house make the resort suitable for families with young kids. Pet-friendly rooms are available, and the property offers two acres of lawns for walking dogs. Express check-in/check-out, laundry service, and luggage storage add convenience for longer stays.

Location: 10 minutes to Kokanee Creek Provincial Park beaches

Rooms: Suites with full kitchen and living area

Dining: On-site restaurant with Laksa and Asian dishes

“This is a genuinely welcoming resort, where renovations are clearly a priority and rooms, including those with kitchenettes, are consistently clean and comfortable. The staff, particularly Mei Mei, are noted for their attentiveness, and the on-site restaurant receives high marks for its cuisine and scenic patio. It strikes a pleasing balance, offering a tranquil setting removed from highway noise yet a short, pleasant drive to Nelson's amenities.”
