As we head into Fall and the days grow shorter, the sun setting a little earlier each evening, dinner at The Pointe Restaurant comes with an extra dose of golden-hour glow 🌅

Now that B.C. is on permanent Daylight Saving Time, we’re looking forward to more dinners enjoyed alongside the sunset.

Behind every meticulously kept corner of the Inn, from pristinely made beds, to carefully arranged vanities, to every single crisp white linen, are the hands of our Housekeeping team.

In honour of it being International Housekeepers Week, we want to take a moment to share our gratitude for every single Room Attendant, Laundry Attendant, Houseperson, and Housekeeping Leader we are lucky enough to have as part of our team at the Wickaninnish Inn.

While much of their work happens behind the scenes, each member of our Housekeeping team leaves a wake of perfection that is beyond tangible.

Thank you for all you do in helping create magic every single day!

For the first time ever, this Halloween, the Wickaninnish Inn will be hosting our very own Murder Mystery night.

Join us on October 31, 2026, for an evening of cocktails, dinner, and intrigue. As the evening progresses, secrets will surface, clues will need to be solved, and the question becomes: who among you is the killer?

Come dressed in character. Keep your suspicions close. And trust no one.

Due to the intimate setting of Howard's W**e Cellar, tickets for "A Vintage to Die for" are limited and available exclusively through our online store.

A first look at a few of the works featured in this year’s West Coast Visions juried art exhibit, now on display in the Henry Nolla Gallery.

The 4th Annual Juried Exhibit runs from September 9 to October 9, bringing together a collection of works inspired by the West Coast and the many ways it can be seen and interpreted.

We invite you to stop by the Henry Nolla Gallery to experience the full exhibition before it closes.

Some of the Inn’s most distinctive details were shaped by hand, one adze stroke at a time.

Henry Nolla’s craftsmanship is woven into the character of the Wickaninnish Inn, from the cedar doors to the textured beams and mantels throughout the property. Though Henry passed away in 2004, his presence remains in the work he left behind, and in both the Carving Shed and Gallery that bear his name.

We would have loved for Henry to be here to see what became of the Inn he helped make so incredibly beautiful. We’re grateful that his master craftsmanship still surrounds us today and that West Coast artists he inspired still continue to create in the Shed he built just down Chesterman Beach.

There are still two wonderful months of whale and bear watching ahead.

Through October, grey whales and humpbacks can still be spotted in the waters of Clayoquot Sound, before beginning their southern migration later in the month, while black bears make the most of the season before retreating to their winter dens.

If you’re joining us between now and the end of October, our Concierge would be delighted to help arrange a bear or whale watching excursion. Later in the season, our Concierge can still share plenty of ways to experience Tofino’s incredible wildlife.

"The hippie that all hippies aspired to be."

Every place has its characters. Tofino had Henry.

Free-spirited, unconventional, deeply authentic, and impossible to forget, Henry Nolla was a familiar presence on Chesterman Beach after moving there in the early '70s. So much so, that North Chesterman even came to be known as "Henry's End" to Tofino locals at the time.

Hear from some of our team members as they remember Henry and share a glimpse into the man who's name and legacy continues to live on throughout the Inn today.
