“Ideal location, lovely host and attention to detail just made it ❤️”
Wow this place was a find! Beautifully presented, lots of care in the finer details to make our stay super comfortable. Noticed and hugely appreciated it all. Hosts really lovely and on hand if needed, the stay is a private, quiet, stunning location with gorgeous views from the decking and a perfect hot tub.

“Absolutely fantastic!”
This was one of our favourite places to stay in the whole of our road trip around Canada. The accommodation was perfect. It is spacious, super clean, comfortable, the attentional to detail on everything in the room was just superb. The view from the guest platform was stunning, it is like a little oasis staying here! The recommendations form the hosts were excellent, you can tell they really know Tofino well. As to the hosts, well honestly you could not find nicer hosts, who are genuinely interested in the wellbeing and positive experience of their guests. We unfortunately had a puncture whilst staying and Hertz left us without any assistance despite having road cover. The help we received from the whole family to help us went above and beyond and we were so grateful for their help. Thank you for making our stay so special despite the stress of our car hire.

“The most amazing stay.”
I cannot recommend this properly enough! Everything was completely perfect, from the softness of the towels to the comfort of the bed. As soon as I stepped foot into the property I was blown away, the attention to detail is incredible and really makes this feel like a home away from home - albeit it a better one! I only wish I could live here - stunning. 10/10

“Incredible property in a great location”
This is a beautifully designed lodge, in a good location about 10 minutes to Tofino by car. Chesterman beach is a 5-minute walk. The entire area is beautiful. There is so much to see and do.

“At one with nature.”
This guesthouse is in a beautiful location, very close to Chesterman beach, and about 5km from Tofino town centre. The facilities within the guesthouse have been nicely thought out. The back of the main house has a fabulous platform to chill and watch nature. Idyllic view.
