Our original, charming dining tent is what first put the resort on the map long ago, when its image graced the covers of travel magazines all over the world. The bistro dining tent, as it has come to be known, remains a favorite place for upscale dining on Vancouver Island or to host small gatherings.

The family dining tent–which also serves as private venue space for corporate meetings, wedding celebrations, and group dinners–and the bistro tent flank the outdoor lounge that surrounds one side of an immense, double-sided fireplace that warms the Cookhouse.
