Auberge Cap au Leste
Nestled along the pristine shores of the Saguenay Fjord, the four-star Auberge Cap au Leste stands as a premier destination for travelers seeking both luxury and natural beauty in Quebec’s breathtaking landscape. Located at 551 Chemin du Cap à l’Est in the charming village of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, this exceptional property has earned a commendable 8.0 rating from satisfied guests who appreciate its unique blend of comfort, service, and spectacular surroundings. Often referred to as “the Pearl of the Fjord,” Sainte-Rose-du-Nord provides a picturesque backdrop for this distinguished auberge, which sits perched atop the cliffs of the Saguenay, offering panoramic views that capture the majestic beauty of Canada’s natural wonders. The property’s strategic location, just a short drive from major routes yet secluded enough to provide a true escape, makes it an ideal base for exploring the rich cultural heritage and outdoor adventures that define this remarkable region of Quebec.
The Auberge Cap au Leste exemplifies the perfect harmony between rustic Canadian charm and sophisticated elegance that discerning travelers seek. The well-appointed accommodations reflect the natural beauty of the surroundings, with warm wood finishes, comfortable furnishings, and large windows that frame the breathtaking vistas of the fjord below. Each room serves as a private sanctuary where guests can unwind after a day of exploration, while the thoughtfully designed common areas encourage relaxation and social connection. The dining experience at Auberge Cap au Leste is equally impressive, with a menu that celebrates the rich culinary traditions of Quebec and showcases fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether enjoying a hearty breakfast before embarking on a day of adventure or savoring a refined dinner as the sun sets over the Saguenay, guests consistently praise the quality and creativity of the cuisine, contributing to the property’s strong 8.0 rating.
Beyond the confines of the auberge itself, guests at Cap au Leste find themselves perfectly positioned to discover the natural splendor and outdoor activities that make this region of Canada so special. In summer months, the property serves as an excellent launching point for kayaking expeditions on the fjord, hiking along scenic trails, or wildlife observation, including the possibility of whale watching in nearby waters. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, ideal for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and other cold-weather pursuits. Throughout the year, the knowledgeable staff—another highlight mentioned in many of the reviews that contribute to the hotel’s solid 8.0 rating—stand ready to help guests create memorable experiences tailored to their interests and abilities. Whether you’re seeking an active vacation filled with outdoor adventures or a peaceful retreat where you can reconnect with nature and yourself, Auberge Cap au Leste offers the perfect setting for your Canadian getaway in the magnificent region of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, where the mountains meet the waters of the Saguenay in a display of natural beauty that must be experienced to be truly appreciated.

Splendid location! Comfortable lodging.

The road to get there!

Fantastic view of Fjord, comfortable bed, friendly staff, grounds are simply beautiful. What could be improved: Value for money is dubious, a lot more rustic than I expected based on other reviews, dinner was good fresh food but there again not up to what I expected (sausage and couscous). 7 km on a dirt road to get there and back on the main road...

The natural beauty of the location was exceptional. Very relaxing, terrific view of the Sagaunay river. Staff was friendly and helpful. What could be improved: The gravel entrance road was well maintained, but a bit long and slow going if you are not comfortable on that type of road surface. We enjoyed our stay, but it was definitely a more rustic...

The view is the best thing about the place.

It is worth mentioning there is a 7km dirt road to the hotel. Depending on your car, it is an important detail. Also no internet and no air conditioning in the room.

Breathtaking views of the fjord from the property. The scenery is beautiful as well as the location. We chose a room with a balcony on the third floor overlooking the fjord and it was such a gorgeous view. What could be improved: Supper was mediocre and expensive. Definitely room for improvement. Some meal choices rather than one fixed menu would...
