We also have 75 deluxe guest rooms and suites (with fireplace, soaker tub and individual balcony), and a 720 sq. ft. meeting/banquet room (accommodating up to 60 people). The Pointe Restaurant seats 75 and our full-service Ancient Cedars Spa is a destination spa offering extensive body and esthetic treatments.The Wickaninnish Inn story begins way back in 1955, and is closely tied to the modern-day history of Tofino and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and of course to the popular draw of Tofino winter storm watching Accommodations The Wickaninnish Inn is situated on the westernmost point of residential Chesterman Beach. Our two buildings, ‘At-the-Pointe’ and ‘On-the-Beach’ have been designed to complement each other and the natural, peaceful beauty of their surroundings. The first thing you’ll notice as you enter any one of our guest rooms or suites are the inspiring views of the ocean and Chesterman Beach. Step out onto your balcony, breathe in the fresh salt air, listen to the waves crash onto the shore below and you’ll know you’ve arrived on Nature’s Edge, in Tofino BC Dining For a list of culinary events and more happening at the Inn and around Tofino, please visit our Tofino Events page. In creating and operating the Wickaninnish Inn the McDiarmid family adheres to a philosophy that transcends conventional parameters of environmental sustainability to include notions of environmental harmony, integration, and celebration. This ideology permeates every aspect of our operations including the exceptionally fresh food created in the kitchens of our world renown The Pointe Restaurant, On The Rocks Bar and Lounge and Driftwood Café.
