A thriving OCEANFRONT RESTAURANT. A sprawling and elegant FOUR BEDROOM HOME with spectacular views. A PRVATE BOAT launch. A year-round RV CAMP SITE. An exclusive BOAT FUELLING STATION, the only one for 40 km. This distinctive property in Deep Bay, BC is a proven success, generating revenue from all its attractions. The Ship & Shore Restaurant, a favourite with local & international visitors, has a spacious licensed patio overlooking the marina & government wharf. The luxurious home above has a gourmet kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances. The camp site includes all facilities including 30 AMP, showers, washrooms & laundry. The surrounding waters are renowned for shellfish, Coho and chinook salmon. The specifics: Lot 86 is zoned commercial; Lot 87 is zoned residential with district approval to continue the existing use as a campground. THIS IS A TURN KEY OPERATION, the choice is yours; become a restauranteur, create your own endeavor, or make it an even grander seaside estate.

This is adjacent to where my sister moors her boat. I know she and her husband dine here regularly. I'll have to see if she has any inside scoop.

The Orr family has a long history of providing customers with quality meat, delicious pies, and a lot of haggis. In this week’s Order Up we head to their home for the last six years to meet the team and learn how they became such a beloved spot in Central Saanich.

Chester Fried was popular in convenience stores (I’m looking at you, Mr. D’s) back in the day.

Anyone here been to Hanks or Nowhere? Somehow I haven’t been before, despite hearing nothing but raves.

An incredible oceanfront opportunity is offered at 5109 and 5105 Cordova Bay Rd, front & centre on one of Victoria’s most desirable beaches. This renowned site offers two side-by-side properties, one residential and one commercial, with uninterrupted marine vistas across the shallow waters of Cordova Bay towards San Juan Islands. The commanding views from the current structure could not be recreated but could benefit future plans for the site. Lofty, front row seats provide a bird’s eye-view of paddle boarders & swimmers. Sounds of the ocean are constant & marine activity is an enticing distraction. Storm watchers are in for a treat as thrill seekers surf or sail past the property. Sunny days attract beachcombers with local knowledge to explore this rare, sandy beach. Located beside McMorran Park near to the services at Mattick’s Farm & the newly completed shops at The Haro plus a short drive to Broadmead Shopping Centre. The discerning buyer is offered an uncompromising lifestyle.

A popular restaurant in Tofino, B.C., was gutted by fire early Thursday morning.

Police and firefighters were called to Shelter Restaurant around 1 a.m. after fire alarms were triggered inside the Campbell Street eatery.

You should definitely go to Hanks/Nowhere! The food is excellent at both locations.

Shelter restaurant in Tofino destroyed by fire

“It’s kind of ‘the old reliable’ that’s always there for us during the wintertime when a lot of businesses are closed,” deputy fire chief says.
