Point Ellice House

(Attractions & Activities - Historic Sites)

2616 Pleasant St, Victoria V8T 4V3 • 250-380-6506

Distance: ~1.698 km from The Fairmont Empress

Description: Built in 1862, Point Ellice House was the O'Reilly family home until 1977. This Italianate villa overlooks Upper Harbour and the Gorge Waterway. To enhance the romance of your visit, arrive by water on the Victoria Harbour Ferry. Take an audio tour of the house to see Western Canada's largest collection of Victorian furnishings. Sir John McDonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada, once dined here, and after you enjoy afternoon tea served in the garden, you will have had the same honor!
