Point No Point

Oh, what a fantastic place.
My partner and I spent a romantic few days in the Otter Cabin at Point No Point. Lovely place. Wood burning stove in the cabin, private hot tub, a small but nice kitchenette. And a wonderful view outside. Even with the rain at times, we had rain on the roof, a babbling creek, and the pounding of the ocean waves.
We didn’t try the restaurant, opting for take out from Sooke instead. But indeed, a lovely place with even more wonderful company.
Note — no internet, cell phone coverage doesn’t exist. If you need to stay in contact with work, family, etc., this may not be for you. However, if you want to get away from it all, this is perfect!

Fantastic location, food and service.
I have never been a fan of lamb however thought I would roll the dice given the restaurant. Wow… What a fantastic meal ! So tender, flavourful and very satisfying.
The staff was very attentive and were intent on ensuring that the high standards were met and exceeded.

So, one reviewer said they could get better value at a hotel in the city. I say, go for it if you want concrete and glass, car exhaust and pretentiousness. We checked in, hit the private hot tub on the private deck, with our own amazing ocean view. Then we melted into the comfy recliners facing the ocean, fire crackling, glass of wine, good books … wow! Every detail looked after! Fireplace was properly prepared with paper and kindling, ready to go with one match — matchbooks provided. Kitchen knives were sharp! Yup — knives in a resort kitchenette were freshly sharpened. Bedding — super comfortable. Could not see even one speck of dust or cobwebs in the log cabin we were in. We went for a walk in the rain along the beautifully maintained trails along the ocean and came upon the Beach House — a large open lean-​to facing the beach, with a brick firepit in the center. You guessed it — one match and we had a warm fire to enjoy the great ocean views by.
No cell service (awesome), but a payphone and wifi at the restaurant –which, by the way provides delicious food at reasonable prices.
We’ll be back.

My favorite place in the world… The food, the people and of course the property. Don’t miss out on the best kept secret on Vancouver island, hands down!

I can’t praise PNP enough – excellent all around. We’d made a mistake with our reservation, which could have ruined our stay when we discovered we’d booked one fewer night than we’d thought, but the staff and the owner went out of their way to help us find an alternative. Obviously, we were very happy with the accommodations themselves, too. The kitchens in the rooms come in handy since most area restaurants are a good drive away.

Extremely romantic. Amazing views and food. We are already planning our trip back to this enchanting and magical place.

The food here was wonderful, the service was great, and the views — well, spectacular. It’s just a little dining room, but it’s cozy and nice. We were stuffed sharing a bowl of seafood chowder, a half salad, the seafood penne pasta, and the grilled salmon entrée. Everything was fresh, done right, and tasted so good. The nice thing about being stuffed at lunch means you save money on dinner, and I can’t imagine I’ll be eating much of anything tonight after that mighty fine lunch.

I came here with my mother as she was helping me make my move from the mainland to the island. This place was well worth the trip out from Victoria. Nestled in the midst of wild beaches and forest it is pretty unassuming and was a very relaxing place to go for lunch.
The gal at the front gave us the passcode for the beach since my mom was not ready to eat when we arrived (google maps worked all the way until we parked in the parking lot in front then promptly shut down). The private beach trails were fabulous. And when we were ready to eat we were directed to a seat where we both had excellent views of the stormy ocean and got a pair of binoculars to share.
The food was good (and very well thought out: the water had no ice and was perfect for hydrating on a chilly day), but I think the main draw was the experience of it all.

We were heading to Sooke so we searched for highly rated restaurants and this came up. Everything sounded really good on the menu but when the server mentioned two of their daily specials, shrimp salad sandwhich or cheeseburger which were accompanied by a soup and carrot cake for only $ 14, we went with the specials (one of each). My husband had the jalepeno cheddar soup and I had the clam chowder (both so delicious and served hot). We highly enjoyed both meals but the best part of it all was the carrot cake in the end. That was THE best carrot cake we had ever tasted (and we dine out a lot!). We liked it so much, we went back the next day but they were out of the carrot cake. The servers were all so pleasant, professional and so friendly. The gal at the front desk took our payment and she told us about their beach access with a code. We used the code to open the gate and had a nice hike down to the beach. Also, ask for the window seat, there are binoculars at each table so you can watch for whale sitings. What a great find! We will definitely return to this fabulous restaurant!

This is as good as it gets for a break from the everyday hustle and the 24 hour a day on demand society. No internet, no cell phones, no TVs; do not under any circumstances ever change this about your amazing resort. The restaurant was spectacular; the Wasabi, Ricotta and Pea ravioli were amazing. The cabins are perfect with a small but functional kitchen and maximize views and privacy. Do not forget to bring some coffee with you as this is not a hotel room but a cabin with a coffee maker available. They even supplied food dishes, sleeping pad, blanket and a towel for our dog; after a day of exploring the beaches and scrambling in the rocks of the Juan de Fuca Provincial Park he was ready to sleep while we went out for dinner.

Ate lunch here and had the special of sandwich with soup or salad and dessert for $ 14. What an amazing deal!
I had the shrimp salad on baguette with a mixed greens salad and husbo had the roast beef on baguette with the black bean soup. He said the soup was outstanding, but the sandwich needed a sauce with more zip like a horseradish or dijon. My sandwich was messy satisfying.
What was amazing was the view and the set up of the restaurant. Two small rooms of all windows overlooking the rocky bay. Each table has binoculars!
The cherry on top of this experience was the carrot cake dessert! Rich cream cheese frosting not too sweet. Carrot shreds and pineapple visible in the dense moist cake. We told our adorable young server that we LOVED the cake and that most carrot cakes disappoint us. She said they get that compliment a lot and that they haven’t changed their recipe since her mom worked there 20 years ago!

Had lunch there today and the food was excellent & the service was stellar. For a small establishment they sure pull out all the stops & the pricing was also very reasonable. I had a chicken & vegetable wrap with a salad and it was only $ 14, sweet.

*What a gem up the road from Sooke, amazing views from the little dining room
*Really on the ball small menu and a homey place with great history
*Their soups are incredible

We’ve stayed at a few cabin resorts on the islands and this place is by far the best. A perfect romantic getaway and so close to home in Victoria. I’d recommend staying in either Cabin C or D. The kitchen is well stocked. We brought our own food and cooked a romantic dinner for two. Both cabins have a fireplace and a hot tub. So don’t forget to bring a bottle of wine to sip while taking in the beautiful views of the rugged west coast while relaxing in the hot tub on your very own private deck.

We are spending some time in Victoria and wanted to go see Sooke. I had a few places written down and we ended up at Point-​no-​Point. The staff were extremely friendly, the food was great and the view was gorgeous. After lunch we walked down to the beach to take pictures and we both felt thankful that we decided not to eat at the Sooke Harbor House which only had a Sunday dinner type menu for lunch.

What a pleasant surprise! The food was amazing and we were fine with the prices based on the quality — fresh & flavorful room heirloom tomatoes, fig & prosciutto appetizer and the chicken dish (usually a boring choice, but not here). Service was very good and the views awesome.

I just ate in the tea room last night and stayed in the Otter cabin. The staff we very kind and helpful all the way through the planning, reserving and arrival process. The cabin was just beautiful, clean and cozy. We enjoyed breathtaking views from both the livingroom area and from the sleeping loft where we could see even more of the water and beach front. The woodstove provided more than enough heat to keep as snug but there was also a thermostat for folks who aren’t so stove-​inclined.
Our dinner in the tea room was outstanding. The chef used the highest quality fresh fish and vegetables I have experienced on this whole trip to BC this far. The dishes had been designed with great attention to detail. Nothing was «thrown in» just for colour. And on top of just how good the food and service was, the price tag was very modest.

Spectacular view, great food
If you end up at this restaurant without intending to go there, you are either a tourist or lost. 25 minutes past Sooke on the Highway 14, just past French Beach it is hidden behind trees on a bend in the road. You are more likely to recognize it by the line of cars along the side of the highway than you are by the small sign announcing Point No Point. First a warning — there is extremely limited parking. You will most likely have to park on the side of the highway and carefully walk along the road to the small restaurant.
Inside you will find a cozy restaurant built out over the oceanfront, likely with a lineup of people waiting to be seated. There are not a lot of tables, but every table affords a great view of the Ocean and of the distant Olympic Peninsula.
When you are seated, every table has a pair of binoculars so you can satisfy your curiosity as you wait for your meal.
The food is pricey but excellent. My Seafood Linguini included scallops, salmon, and shrimp and was delicious — so fresh you almost expect it to swim off your plate. The meal ended with an Apple Pie, apparently new to their menu and I was the first person ever to order it, so they were very curious about my reaction. It was a delicious addition to their menu, beautifully prepared apple filling between filo pastry, and buried beneath a large scoop of blackberry sorbet. My only comment was that the pie itself was tiny, but extremely tasty.
When you have finished your meal, if you are up for it, ask the cashier for the code to access the trails to the ocean. Since the trails are part of the private resort, you need a code to pass through the gate. There are several beautiful short trails you can follow down to the ocean front. We spent an hour sitting on the rocks by the sea watching a playful sea lion just off shore.
The service is attentive. The food is terrific. It’s a challenge to find the restaurant and to find parking. Overall a worthy destination if you are in Victoria and have a day to explore this beautiful island highway.

One of the most mouth-​wateringly delicious lunches I’ve had; Cowichan chicken legs with roast potato.
Friendly service, excellent value and with an incredible view from the restaurant
across the sea to the USA and the mountains of Olympic National Park.
After your meal you can burn off a few calories walking on the private beach below the restaurant.

I just came back from Point no Point, a quick mini-​moon after a whirlwind wedding.
If you’re looking for release from the hustle of the city or a romantic secluded natural space, this is the place to do it.
we arrived, parked our car and walked down the shallow steps to our log cabin heaven. it was quaint and well-​maintained. the glass doors opened up onto a balcony with a hot tub for 2 and a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean (the cabin is right on the edge of a cliff!). Cabins are situated far away enough that we couldn’t hear any of the other guests of the resort.
The staff stay out of your way for the entire trip, you could quite easily stay there and not run into anyone except the person who checks the hot tub water daily.
we:
–created gourmet meals in the fully furnished kitchen
–slept soundly on an excellent bed and woke to the sound of the Pacific Ocean waves crashing on the beach below
–read good books while sitting in the outdoor hot tub, drinking wine and listening to said ocean waves
–played scrabble to the light of the fire
–hiked the many trails to different parts of the point (accessible to guests only)
–walked on the soft sandy beach in bare feet holding hands.
Yes, i’m getting gooey romantical here. but it really was the best holiday i’ve ever had, hands down.
There’s also a restaurant there that i’ve heard excellent things about. we were too busy in each other’s company and roasting our own lamb and trout to go though.
It’s not cheap. and i’m normally the cheap sort. but one look at that view and i knew it was worth every penny. we’ve vowed to save up the cash to come back every other year. crossing my fingers that we can keep that promise.
