Important Announcement
Annual Closure - Hastings House Country Hotel will be closing for the winter season on 9th November 2008 and looking forward to welcoming guests again on 13th March 2009.
English country manor house meets Canadian inspiration at the secluded Hastings House, which overlooks the peaceful Ganges Harbour. 22 acres of flower gardens and rolling meadows surround this elegant Tudor-style country house where sophisticated island living includes one of the best restaurants in British Columbia, as well as an intimate spa.
Return to an era of grace and simplicity as you enjoy afternoon tea in front of the Inglenook fireplace in the Living Room of the Manor House or on warmer days on the patio overlooking beautiful Ganges Harbour. Delicate earthy hues warm the spa for a relaxing massage in between the genteel activities of the Manor House.
Each morning a wake-up hamper with fresh-baked muffins and tea or coffee will be placed outside your door. For those requiring a more substantial start to their day a full breakfast awaits you in the Manor House. Our award-winning dining room with exquisite regional cuisine and outstanding wine list will offer the perfect ending to your island style-day.
