For visitors that desire amenities a little more comfortable than a tent and a sleeping bag, there are accommodations that are available on site at the Esk'et motel.
The motel is located in the center of the village and is an easy walking distance to all of the cultural centers in the village and most of the outdoor activities. Reservations can be made through the general store at (250) 440-5676. Keys are collected at the store, which opens at 8:00 am and closes at 6:00 pm Monday through Friday.
One and two bedroom suites are available. Both offer a full kitchen and an extra pull out couch in the living room area. The two bedroom suite has one and a half bathrooms while the one bedroom suite has one bathroom. The daily rate for the two bedroom suite is $85.00/night and the daily rate for the one bedroom suite is $65.00/night.
For those visitors that desire a more authentic native experience, there are also teepees available where visitors can choose to spend a night. Teepee availability is limited so book early. Rates: $90/adult/day (double occupancy), $80/additional adult, $60/child.
The village café serves western food such as burgers, soups and sandwiches as well as many traditional foods such as a fried bread called bannock. It is open from Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm and on the weekends from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
There are numerous camp sites available all over the Esketemc land. It is requested that you check with the Band Office for availability and only camp in the specially designated camping zones.
All of the camp sites have restroom facilities including toilets, sinks, and trash cans.
