Hazelnut Inn - Medieval Fantasy in Canada's Fraser ValleyHazelnut Inn  

This enchanting castle-like boutique hotel in the westernmost province of Canada is ready to awaken your inner child with medieval fantasy-themed suites.

Unlike most couples who end up spending their honeymoon at a whitewashed beach with cocktails in hand, Peter Sawatzky and Hailey had a different idea.

They chose Rome as their destination for the romantic getaway and stayed in a renovated castle on the outskirts of the Italian capital. From that moment on, they couldn't get the idea of building their very own castle out of their heads.

Hazelnut Inn's Fairytale Castle

The plan of opening a fairytale boutique hotel became their destiny. In search of inspiration, they visited Hobbiton in New Zealand, which is fantastic to look at, but unfortunately, you cannot stay there overnight.

This further fueled the couple's dream and eventually led to the creation of Under Hill, a suite that most closely resembles Hobbiton.

Every detail of the Hazelnut Inn is a testament to the shared daydreams, meticulous planning, and deep love for the fairytale world that Peter Sawatzky and Hailey poured into its creation.

The inn, a culmination of passion and dedication, opened its gates to the curious public in 2024 after six years of construction.

The North Star Suite was the first part of the castle to open. The next in line—and already under construction—are the Under Hill and Copper Crown Suites.



Hazelnut Inn North Star Suite Sitting Room

While the magical suites at Hazelnut Inn offer a vast amount of space (around 600 square feet / 56 square meters), they are designed for an intimate experience with only one king-sized bed. This exclusivity guarantees a memorable stay, with the guest number limited to two.

Hazelnut Inn's first suite is built around the mystical adventures of Captain Temperance Longbottom who once lived on the North Star and had many adventures aboard her ship, the Avallana.


The North Star is a whimsical blend of a castle and a ship, boasting an appropriately eclectic fantasy interior. With a blue dome symbolizing the sky, the captain's quarters feel like being on an old ship.



Hazelnut Inn North Star Suite Board Game Collection

If you enjoy playing board games, you will find a vintage collection in the room, including classics like Yahtzee, Scrabble, and Scattergories.
