What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It stands on 22 acres of land with views over Ganges Harbour, and contains a mere 18 rooms and suites, which makes for a tranquil atmosphere.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The artist studios, craft shops, and lively Saturday market of Ganges village are just a short walk along the harbor.
The rooms
Converted farm buildings and manor suites feature local stone fireplaces, garden-cut flower bouquets, and views extending across the harbor.
The spa
Set in a converted cedar barn, the spa provides deep-tissue bodywork and facials with local botanical oils.
Restaurant
Manor Dining
Vaulted timber beams frame harbor views, with dishes centered on estate-grown produce and Salt Spring Island lamb.
At the table
Stone terraces look out over Ganges Harbour among flowering hedges, and drinks are poured beside the lounge fireplace.
How it began
British naval architect Warren Hastings built the Sussex-inspired manor in 1939 before the family estate became an island hotel in 1981.
