This is the type of place one comes to disappear and disconnect. With just five cedar-wood cabanas and an open-air “café” that acts as a communal restaurant, this rustic endeavour was built from the ground up by its owner, Adam Vallance, a veteran kayaker with a keen eye for architecture. Less than two nautical miles north of the Sunshine Coast Trail, the tiny island is unpopulated save the resort. I’m at Cabana Desolation Eco Resort on Kinghorn Island - a fleck of earth, around three kilometres in circumference, in the deep waters of Desolation Sound. The seal holds my gaze a moment before snorting out a huge puff of air, then dives back below the surface. A bright, full moon provides the only other light suddenly, two round black eyes pop out of the water. Half asleep, I stumble outside with my lantern and peer toward the shore. It’s the middle of the night when snorting sounds outside my cabin wake me. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page.
