Hastings House on beautiful Salt Spring Island is perfectly situated beside Ganges Harbour. Each beautifully appointed unit has spectacular views of the harbour, the English gardens and the surrounding old growth woods. A first class restaurant with amazing dishes cooked by Chef Marcel is located in the manor and we were spoiled by the attentive service of Robert and Laura.... More

This is an idyllic spot for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. Time really slows down as the surroundings caress your soul. The staff work very hard to offer world class service and facilities. Extra personal touches such as the wake-up hamper with warm fresh muffins and our names on the cabin door and dinner menu make the stay quite memorable.... More

My friend and I visited Hastings House in April and had a wonderful time. We knew from reading the reviews that it would be a great stay but we couldn't believe the outstanding service we received from being picked up at the float plane and taken back, the meals, checking in and a tour of the property. Everyone was helpful... More

If you are looking for a lovely, relaxing getaway this is it. Ambience is wonderful, beautiful gardens and surrounding walking paths. Food is great and staff is accommodating. If you have any issues with mobility, the property is a little difficult to get around although staff offered to help in any way they could. We had an older parent with... More

For an early Spring getaway from Vancouver without kids, my boyfriend and I chose Hastings House in Ganges BC. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING was lovely- the history of the property was kindly explained on a tour given by Kelly upon our arrival. The property is unique and luxurious, located an easy walk from Ganges but in a private seaside location.... More
