Hastings House Country House Hotel

We stopped by Hastings House for their social hour and had an absolutely fantastic time - highly recommend it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Gage, who made us feel instantly welcome. As we walked through the beautiful property to the patio, we were also warmly welcomed by the General Manager, whose kindness and hospitality set the tone for the entire experience. The patio overlooking the harbour is stunning, and the cocktails were delicious. Our server, Jonah, was excellent - friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We weren’t expecting the property to feel quite so magical, but it truly was. Between the setting, the atmosphere, the sheep, the gardens, and the genuinely kind people who work there, it was a perfect evening. We’ll absolutely be back and will be recommending Hastings House to all our friends.

Hastings House Country House Hotel is truly one of my favourite wedding venues to work at. I’ve had the pleasure of doing both photo and video at many weddings there, and every time I’m reminded just how special this place is. The grounds are breathtaking, the historic buildings add so much character, and there’s a quiet charm that makes every wedding feel intimate and timeless. Couples and guests always rave about the beautiful setting, the incredible food, and the warm, attentive staff who make sure everything runs smoothly. From a media perspective, it’s a dream — every corner is picturesque, and the atmosphere is always relaxed and welcoming. If you’re looking for a venue that’s romantic, elegant, and full of West Coast magic, Hastings House is it. Can’t wait to be back for the next one!

The afternoon wine and tapas menu with the stunning harbour view is the best deal on the island. Excellent service and the views are incredible. We had the prime rib in the manor for dinner last weekend … highly recommend for locals to go!
