About this property
Panoramic Suite – Breathtaking Fjord View, Summit House.
About this space
The Panoramic Suite at Summit House is a modern, self-contained, fully off grid suite with sweeping views of the Saanich Inlet. Located within our timber-framed West-Coast style home, the suite features clean, contemporary design with a king bedroom, full bathroom, and a bright, open-plan living and dining area. Guests have their own private entrance, an outdoor seating area, and a BBQ for relaxed meals with unimpeded water views.
Summit House sits on a 200-acre forested property overlooking the Saanich Inlet and Todd Gowland National Park across the Inlet, with over a kilometre of natural shoreline, a seasonal waterfall, nature hikes and regular sightings of local wildlife, including bald eagles.
Just 20 minutes from Victoria or Mill Bay, the property is close to the Malahat Skywalk, island wineries, and other outdoor destinations. It’s also a convenient base for exploring the Cowichan Valley, or a short ferry ride to Sidney for a day trip to the world-famous Butchart Gardens.
Guest access
Guests have full private use of the cabin. The main house is nearby, and the owners are on site should any assistance be needed.
Other things to note
Summit House offers a quiet setting for guests looking to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. To help preserve this environment, parties and unregistered guests are not permitted.

About the host
Hosted by Sheila
Both originally Irish, Frank and Sheila have called Vancouver Island home for nearly 40 years. A large part of that time has been spent operating businesses in the hospitality industry where they have had the opportunity to connect with interesting people from around the world, and to showcase their beloved new island home. Frank loves history, including local lore, and Sheila is an accomplished musician.
Why they chose this property
Malahat is a small community in the Cowichan Valley, surrounded by lush nature and stunning views of the Saanich Inlet. The Malahat mountain summit is considered one of the most sacred sites on southern Vancouver Island, with one of the best summer micro climates on the island.
What makes this property unique
The incomparable location! Situated on 200 acres of private Malahat property, our unique and well-appointed guest suites are close to various activities for guests looking for adventure and local flavor, while preserving a sense of private seclusion so guests can get truly away from it all.
