    DIRECTIONS


    We are located in the middle of Vancouver Island, British Columbia - right on the Alberni Inlet, made famous by the Tsunami of 1964. Take Highway 4 from Victoria or Nanaimo, and follow it north west all the way into Port Alberni, turning left onto the Alberni Highway (at the Alberni Valley information centre/Chamber of Commerce). This road turns into Redford Road. Follow it to the end, and turn left onto Gertrude Street. Gertruse Street turns into 3rd Avenue. We are on 3rd Avenue, number 3250, two blocks before the corner of Argyle Street, in the heart of "South Port", Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Look for the bright yellow house with the brilliant purple sign above the door!

    Property Description

    The Port Alberni Hostel (formerly Friendship Lodge) is located just off the main road in to Port Alberni.

    It is close to all amenities including banks, grocery stores and recreational facilities. The hostel guarantees a warm and friendly atmosphere where backpackers and visitors can feel at home.

    To many people, including visitors from other places on this great planet, the Friendship Lodge has over the years become a home while they are in transit to the West Coast. It is while these visitors are with us that we make every effort to promote an extended stay in the Alberni Valley to enjoy, hiking fishing, sightseeing, etc. The Alberni Valley is known as the Gateway Valley to the Pacific.

    This is a non-alcoholic facility with a TV room and dining room where meals can be provided upon request. Children are welcome.
