We visited the Okanagan Valley and stayed in Okanagan Falls for two nights at the Holiday Beach Resort Motel. 5133 7th Avenue. 1-888-272-2210. They have one and two bedroom suites. The one story building looks out toward Skaha Lake with picnic tables in front of each room. The two story building behind has balconies or a grass area with picnic tables. The balconies look over the grassy courtyard and have a view of Skaha Lake. The suites have a fully equipped kitchen and there are BBQs in the courtyard.
