The house on the quay
A cannery, reimagined for slow evenings
The hotel lives in the old cannery warehouse on the north quay. The brick walls, timber beams and loading-bay doors are original; everything you sleep on, sit in and eat from is new.
Mornings here are for the harbour — gulls, ferries, coffee on the balcony. Nights belong to the lantern-lit casino, the oyster bar and a lounge band that plays until the last table closes.
Stay
Rooms that face the water
Every room looks over the harbour or the coastal range. Cedar, wool and brass throughout, blackout curtains for the long summer light, and rain showers built for after the beach.
Quay Suite
A separate sitting room, a soaking tub under the window and a balcony wide enough for breakfast for two above the water.
fromCA$419/ night
Lantern Penthouse
The top floor of the old hoist tower: two bedrooms, a terrace on three sides and a private table for long dinners with the harbour lights below.

The Tidewater Room
A gaming floor with a harbour view
One level below the lobby, behind the original cannery doors: low lantern light, green baize, and a window wall that frames the boats coming in. Open around the clock, with dealers who are happy to teach a first-timer.
