Whether you'd like to paddle a kayak on the Little Codroy River, behold the gorgeous Table Mountains, watch a film or dance the night away in the Thorni Lounge, stroll through the organic garden, or curl up with a book in our reading nook, we’re confident you’ll feel right at home here. At our eco-inn, you are encouraged to spoil yourself in a sustainable way. You can grab a bike and tour the lush Codroy Valley, rent a single or tandem kayak and launch it right from the hostel grounds, hike on the renowned Starlite Trail or other nearby trails, sunbathe or swim at Murray’s Beach just steps away from the hostel, or explore other valley sites like the possible Norse settlement at Point Rosee and the beautiful sandy Searston Beach in Codroy Valley Provincial Park. All 15 communities in the Codroy Valley have something to offer. We’re working on several eco-projects for our guests and for the planet that we hope to have these all up and running this summer. These include a geodesic dome greenhouse, solar shower, and bicycle-powered washing machine. Our garden is entirely hand dug and we use only organic practices. You are welcome to gather salad ingredients! The Thorni Lounge is our movie theatre/lounge that we plan to make primarily solar-powered by next year. In the Thorni Lounge we project various films throughout the week including “Foreign Film Friday”, host music events, and welcome guests to sit in our daily morning meditation. At Bert Bark Inn, you’ll have the space to indulge your senses in a breathtaking part of the world, as well as the opportunity to meet other fun-loving travellers and locals in a social setting. With a guest kitchen, six beds, fire pits, barbecue, library, games, book exchange, instruments, communal spaces, and of course the Thorni Lounge, endless possibilities await for fun and games right here at Bert Bark Inn. We provide bedding, bicycles, and breakfast (self-serve) free of charge.
