The Setting

With all the noise currently being made about Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria, it's easy to forget that the classic West Coast holiday destination still lies just forty minutes from the Mainland. The Sunshine Coast – closely convenient, yet far enough to serve as a sanctuary.

Perched upon the picturesque hill above Hopkins Landing, is the immediate setting of a yellow residence called Encil House. A few minutes from Gibsons, a spot perhaps best known for the Beachcombers and Molly's Reach, is a place whose natural charms can't fail to impress anyone with the slightest appreciation of the outdoors. The setting is spectacular, and the rustic-modern guest rooms boast stunning views of the Howe Sound with its ever-changing waters and striking mountain skies.
