Budget Accommodation > North America > Canada > Vancouver Island > Hostels > Riding Fool Hostel
The Riding Fool Hostel is the newest and nicest hostel on Vancouver Island which means new mattresses and linen.
The town and building we're located in is anything but new, constructed in 1895. The 'Tarbells' building is one of the oldest in town having escaped damage by the two major downtown fires.
The building is shared with Dodge City Cycles and Tarbells Cafe which means bike rentals, local trail knowledge, wholesome food and kick-ass coffee for the 'under caffined'.
Cumberland has everything to offer the recreationally minded. We are 24 minutes from the lifts of Mt.Washington, Comox Lake for swimming and rock climbing, and there are mountain bike trails right out the back door.
If you're not looking for something so adrenaline laced then check out the local museum or do one of the five self-guided historic walks of the Village.
See you soon.

Situated about halfway up the east side of Vancouver Island, Cumberland is centrally located and easily accessible by plane, train, bus, bike and car.
If arriving by public transportation, call ahead and I'll pick you up.
If travelling by car or bike, chances are you are coming from the south - take the Inland Island Highway North and look for signs to Cumberland.
We are under 3 hrs from Victoria and closer from everywhere else.
