This oceanfront property, in a simply awesome setting, is located on
the edge of an 85 foot cliff, surrounded by pristine old growth forest,
and is set against some of the world's most dramatic coastline.
Purposely built to be intriguing, romantic and to insure privacy, a
Snug Harbour Inn caters to an adult clientele.
Each room has a unique theme. Amenities in all rooms include
fireplace, jetted tubs for two, queen or king beds, private decks
overlooking the Pacific, heated bathroom floors, lavish robes, luxury
linens and incredible breathtaking views. No other buildings in sight -
breathe deeply because you can <smile>.
The most frequent comment we hear are words to the effect, "it's
a place and it is better than advertised".
Rooms:
Atlantis:
King Bed. No other room like this one! Vibrant design, huge
canopied bed, fantasy bath, advanced powerful Jacuzzi Fiora tub with
cascading waterfall, wood burning fireplace, romantic sitting room,
cliff side private deck and great views. A place to make memories.
Lighthouse:
Queen Bed. A room with an incredible view. Situated on three split
levels, finished in rich greens and natural wood, this unusual and
cozy room is a great spot to snuggle. Fireplace, jetted tub, private
high level patio, and 360 degree view.
Sawadee:
King Bed. A room made for romance. Accented in the Thai tradition
of rich woods, fabrics, and carving, sensational views of forest and
ocean from a large private two level deck. A two sided fireplace faces
both bedroom and bathroom, where an inviting two-person jetted tub,
surrounded by stone and stained glass, rests in the glow of the fire.
A "one of a kind suite" certain to please.
Valhalla:
Queen Bed. Rich blue colours against hardwood floors in a nautical
theme fit for the most demanding of Sea Captains. Fabulous views of
the rugged coastline, a large private deck, jetted tub for two and a
full size fireplace are all a captain needs ... complete, even to the
sound of a distant fog horn.
The Great Room:
The Great Room is a special focal point of A Snug Harbour Inn.A light
duty kitchen for private use of guests is in one corner, TV is available
for those who wish.
A powerful telescope bring whales and distant ships close up. A huge
stone fireplace is fronted by an inviting conversation pit making this a
truly social room.
A wall of glass separates the Great Room from the Main Deck which
features a large modern hot tub, and our special "Stairway From The
Stars" descending the cliffs to our private rocky beach and
helicopter pad below. The great room deck, or beach below are great
spots for a small wedding.
Hot Tub:
The large hot tub is kept at 102 degrees day and night all year to
enable guests to capture those special British Columbia Super Natural
Moments where incredible blinking stars, moving satellites, rare far
away planes and frequent shooting stars penetrate the blackness of a
wilderness night sky. Sounds of the ocean complete an awesome encounter
with peaceful living.
The "Stairway from the Stars" delivers you 85 feet below
this common deck to a small piece of pristine pebbly beach. It has been
left exactly as it was a thousand years ago. There are some terrific
spots here to "pop the question" or perform a small wedding
ceremony in surroundings you will never regret.
Winter Storms:
Stepping into a West Coast Storm can be an incredible experience. How
exciting are the big waves ... and we do have them!
The huge storms that bash our coast from November through February
often generate 40 feet breaking seas which in turn rocket spray 100 feet
into the air.
These storm waves tend to "broadcast" outward from the
storm centre which means they begin building as much as a day ahead of
the storm's arrival and last almost another day after it's departure.
All four rooms have sensational views of the rugged coastline
andwatching these Pacific Howlers from the warmth and comfort of your
own room is awesome and compelling.
This point is a magical spot to watch the big waves, shipping, or
whales. The Wild Pacific Trail winds along the rugged coast from a
position just out of this picture and offers views, which we believe,
are unparalleled anywhere in the world.
Local Activities:
Amphitrite Point:
The Wild Pacific Trail winds along the rugged coast and offers
views unparalleled anywhere in the world. The trail is located
approximately 1 km (5/8 Mile) from the Inn.
Back Road Adventures:
We call him Gentle Ben, of Rain Coast Adventures. This big man from
the by-gone logging industry who takes you by off-road vehicle to
places far up the old logging roads. Places with scenery so incredible
you won't want to leave - places filled with the creatures of the
mountains and the forest - places you would never see on your own. And
the picnic lunch ... you won't believe that either.
Bear Watching:
Imagine being so close you can listen to the breathing of a Black
Bear while he turns over large boulders in search of his favourite
snack ... the shore crab. Pristine Adventures is in the business of
providing adventurers a "close encounter of the Black Bear
Kind". By land or Voyageur canoe it's an adrenaline pumping
camera clicking great day.
Kayaking:
Ucluelet has been a paddler's paradise as far back as when the
Nootka Indians travelled these waters in great ocean going cedar
canoes. The small islands comprising the Broken Islands Group have
beaches, lagoons, a large resident bald eagle communityand many hidden
channels virtually free of currents. Majestic Kayaking can place you
in this inspiring location whether you are experienced or a beginner.

Local Trails:
There are some beautiful coastal trails within walking distance of
the Inn. They are well maintained and not particularly difficult. With
a little discretion secluded beaches can be "discovered"
tucked among the rocky coastline. Great places for a private picnic.
As a courtesy the Inn will provide detailed trail maps.
Pacific Rim National Park:
The ever popular Long Beach is a pleasant 20 minute drive from the
Inn. This whole area has wonderful nature walks and sandy beaches that
stretch for miles. Contact the park for further details.
Sea Plane Tours:
They call him "Louie the Fly Guy" an affectionate name
for a highly skilled long time wilderness pilot and his beloved
seaplane. Try watching whales from above, getting a close up view of
this wonderful coastline, or setting down at the Hot Springs when the
crowds are gone. This is classic West Coast enjoyment from West Coast
Wild Adventures.
Sport Fishing:
Forget for a moment all the other reasons for visiting Ucluelet,
forget even the star studded summer evenings on your private terrace
listening to eagles chatter and surf pounding the coast. Consider only
the fishing. No other place on the B.C. coast can match Ucluelet in
terms of consistent season-long action. And that's no idle boast.

Whale Watching:
Each spring between the first of March through late April some
20,000 Grey Whales migrate north to summer feeding grounds. Many pass
close enough to shore to be easily watched right from your room at the
Inn.
We have a powerful telescope so powerful they can find the
barnacles on the whale's back. Charter companies can take you to the
whales for a closer encounter. These operators are expert and even out
of season can generally find a few whales who make our waters their
summer home.
