The Wickaninnish Inn

night and day on nature's edge

November 2006

(Tofino, BC) Cole Porter wrote the words. Frank Sinatra stylized them. Now the team at the Wickaninnish Inn has brought the sprit of the song Night and Day to life by planning an enticing New Year’s Eve, three night, couple’s experience.

            Night and day, you are the one,
            Only you beneath the moon or under the sun

Guests of the Inn, set in the picturesque town of Tofino, are always made to feel special, night and day, as if they are the only guests of the Inn, perhaps the only couple in town. Whether enjoying romantic walks on secluded beaches, or long, lazy mornings in front of a private fireplace in a tastefully cozy guest room, day and night, couples can relax and enjoy the Pacific Ocean’s relaxing pulse on nature’s own schedule. 

To enjoy the days, all New Year’s guests will be welcomed at a cocktail party to meet Tofino’s best and most colourful service providers, fellow guests, and the engaging management team that run the “Wick”.  While staying at the Inn, guests will also have their pick from a range of daytime activities offered by the local business operators met at the cocktail party. These outings include guided boat tours of Tofino Inlet, surfing lessons, carving demonstrations at the Inn’s carving shed, First Nations Wild Grocery Walk and Nature Walk, and relaxed meetings with local artists and artisans as they work in various spots throughout the Inn.

And then the nights… the optional New Year's Gala will include romantic dining and live music, along with a delightful “west coast” culinary experience and a celebratory champagne toast. With the break of the next day, guests can sleep in, then enjoy a bountiful breakfast basket, delivered to each guest room. All rooms and suites offer spectacular views of the open Pacific Ocean and the lush temperate rainforest that surrounds the Inn.

The New Year's Eve, Night and Day and Day and Night package starts at $1500 per couple for this three-night experience. For room reservations, call 1.800.333.4604 or find more information at www.wickinn.com.
