Pluvio Restaurant and Rooms

Everything was top notch in the Pluvio rooms. The bed was comfy and lovely bedding. Nice thick towels which I love. Wonderful shower that was hard to get out of only because I didn’t want to! The breakfast was definitely not the stale bun in a bag with no expiry (questionable quality), coffee was a fresh press and had lovely items like fresh salmon or tuna. Not the average breakfast for sure. Stayed in the upper rooms which offer nice patios in one direction and the roof top garden on the other. Can’t wait to return! Thank you Lily.

Like the well-loved story of Goldilocks, everything at Pluvio was just right. The hard-working team of Lily, Warren and crew make their perfect hosting seem effortless. No pretence here, this two-night stay afforded me the best sleep I've had in some time (and not just because the cats were home and not waking me up at 4 am!). Very clean and comfortable room (the Crab room upper floor), very sunny when the drapes are open, and a king-size bed with beautiful linens. Just like a warm hug. And all this in the beauty of the best west coast of Vancouver Island with biking and hiking trails providing epic views of this rugged landscape. The Chef's Tasting Menu at Pluvio Restaurant is not to be missed and warrants a review of its own.

This place is fantastic! We've stayed at Pluvio two times and will definitely come back again. The most peaceful gateway imaginable. I value the team's attention to detail and the best customer service. Breakfast is delicious, the dinner is impressive. I can't wait to come back!

We only have good things to say about this beautifully kept, spacious room with an amazing walk-in shower, heated floor in the bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the garden where deer were roaming early one morning. The breakfasts were outstanding and we loved the unique bento box presentation. A great location within walking distance to all services in central Ucluelet. Thank you Lily and Warren!

We had a wonderful stay at Pluvio. We walked into the room and immediately enjoyed the pleasure of heated floors in the hallway and in the bathroom. The bathroom was simple elegance with a large shower and excellent lighting. The bed was extremely comfortable, the linens delightfully fresh. There was a sitting area inside with comfortable chairs and a little deck with a table and chairs, as well. A small “kitchen” area was stocked with a cast iron plunger pot ready to have boiling water poured into if for morning coffee and in the mini fridge we found house made granola, a lovely savory breakfast consisting of a half a boiled egg, a beautifully dress quinoa salad and some pickled vegetables. There was also a bottle of excellent Pluvio Averill Creek white wine available to purchase - the perfect thing to find at our temporary home after a long day of hiking to Half Moon Bay. We not only stayed overnight in this comfortable room we had dinner in the restaurant. The small room turned out the most exquisite, thoughtful, local and ethical food I have ever had. The staff could write the book on service! I can’t wait to go back.

Our main reason for staying here was the restaurant - the food really was out of this world - I'd say the best we have had anywhere - some amazing combinations that just seemed to work. Our room was huge, newly decorated and very comfortable with balcony and roof terrace - generally really peaceful though, it being a weekend, there was a little bit of later noise from the next door veteran's club - not a big issue for us and their is air con if you want to shut the window and if you stay in the centre of town, then a bit of noise is to be expected. The staff were all very friendly and we'd happily go back.
