Weekend Trip to Lands End Farm and Orchard

We had an amazing stay at Nahum's property on Malcolm Island! The property was peaceful and the campsite was great. The orchard was a highlight—we loved picking and eating Nehum's fresh fruit especially the blueberries! The cozy barrel sauna gets HOT and there is the cabin to change in, for added comfort. Nehum was a great host and very welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! 10/10

This is a well named quaint property: the end of Malcolm Island. This is no glamping kind of cabin, but the host/owner Nahum was very friendly. The sauna and cold tub and outdoor heated on-demand shower and composting toilet were treats for an otherwise rustic experience. He may even offer you a taste of his craft brewed apple cider from his new orchard ~ this was top notch! Great to meet you Nahum!

The host was kind and informative. He gave a detailed tour of the property and the amenities, and told us of some of the events going on all over Malcolm Island for Salmon Days! Very quiet property, we set up a tent in the orchard and had lots of privacy and places to relax. Sadly, we didn't use the sauna or hot tub this time around, but we will on our next visit. I did grab a couple raspberries and nasturtium flowers to add to our salad from Nayams garden. The outside shower was awesome and the composting toilet didn't actually stink which is always nice when using an outhouse haha All around 4/5 stars would recommend.

Nahum’s place was amazing! He’s very generous with his space and there are plenty of campgrounds with varying amounts of privacy. It was hard to believe he’s only been there for a few years. The whole yard was beautiful. Walk to the beach was quick and easy. Highly recommend.

Interesting stay… seems everyone books tent site 10 then randomly picks an open camp site. We arrived to find a bunch of guys in what we thought was our site, we parked as best we could on the first night. The second night we had two more campers packed around us. They were also in site 10! Go figure! Bathrooms were clean with large pay for showers… but only 2 for the entire park! Lots of back up’s waiting…

We really enjoyed staying at Nahum’s place. Nahum was warm, communicative and generous in sharing his space with us. The sauna, star gazing and nearby wildlife sightings were really special. The cabin was rustic and a cosy alternative to the campsites over the winter season. We enjoyed exploring the island’s trails and scoping for whales and birds. Thanks Nahum for your excellent hospitality. We hope to see you again soon.
