Wedding parties set up on the grassy seaside lawn amidst wild roses and<br />

gardens, corporate groups use meeting and banquet rooms. Families<br />

settle in by the ocean-view pool.<br />

All guests are encouraged to be as active as they like, with extensive<br />

grounds to explore, a dock for boaters, and a swim float in the cove. Kayak<br />

and paddleboards are available for rent, with hikes and lakes nearby. Of<br />

course it is always an option to just sit in a fluffy robe on the deck of a tent<br />

suite and watch the tides change. Or lie by the pool. But do be sure to work<br />

up an appetite, because the Rockwater Restaurant knows how to replenish<br />

hungry guests.<br />

Menu highlights include the seafood linguini with plump mussels, scallops,<br />

and salmon bathed in a lightly seasoned cream sauce. Porcini-dusted<br />

halibut is a generous portion of the delicate fish with Asian greens and<br />

rice pilaf. The braised lamb shank falls off the bone into a pool of squash<br />

purée and tangy balsamic reduction. You don’t need to be vegan to enjoy<br />

the veggie option. It is wonderfully savoury and satisfying.<br />

Our Canadian, prairie-grown Hemp Seed Hearts, Protein<br />

Powders and Oils provide essential nutrients for healthy living.<br />

Hemp Seed Hearts contain highly digestible<br />

proteins including all 10 essential amino<br />

acids, and are a perfect<br />

naturally balanced source of<br />

Omega-3 and Omega-6 EFAs.<br />

Organic or natural, all of our<br />

products are sustainable,<br />

vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free,<br />

nut-free and they taste great!<br />

Meat lovers will be delighted with the Madagascar filet mignon with roast<br />

potatoes and a green peppercorn demi-glaze. Start with tempura salmon<br />

rolls or a grilled romaine salad. And there’s no such thing as too full for<br />

dessert when one of the options is house-made ice cream with espresso<br />

and Baileys.<br />

Maybe you need a cocktail while you assess this menu. The Rockwater<br />

shakes up special martinis and has a wonderful wine list that offers<br />

the very finest of our award-winning BC wines. Because there is always<br />

something to celebrate, even if it is just the sunset, a fine selection of<br />

old-world champagnes and sparkling wines is available. Sit and sip in<br />

the lounge, where live music is offered most weekends, while you enjoy<br />

the view. There is a time and place to be smug and satisfied; it is at the<br />

Rockwater Secret Cove Resort, anytime you visit.<br />

Casual<br />

VERY<br />

FINE DINING<br />
