Beautiful property right in the heart of Tofino. With a commercial kitchen and spacious bedrooms it felt like a home away from home. We stargazed in the hot tub at night and had the best sleep in the most comfortable beds provided. 10/10 would stay here again.

Relaxing in Tofino

The area was beautiful and we especially loved watching the tides come and go in the rear of the property. The beds and pillows were excellent. The toilet on the first floor needed some tightening and another TV would have been appreciated.

The perfect place after a day in and around Tofino

Amazing property for our family of six. The kitchen is large with an excellent layout for cooking and visiting, and has all the supplies you could need. The rest of the house is beautifully done. The bedrooms are large and all of the beds were very comfortable. The outside is quiet and private, with several sitting areas. The kids loved the hot tub after a day at the ocean.
