10/10 Excellent
"Location was exceptional. We were lucky to go one of the treehouses, but the bungalows/cabins are also extremely well located on the property. The property has access to 2 beaches. Sunsets were spectacular in early September. The continental breakfast is great, but if you stay more then 3 nights it can be boring. Location of lounge and dining rooms are great with fantastic views. Atmosphere is very relaxed and not stuffy. The highlight is probably the great location (5 minutes from downtown Tofino), but nestled in the woods. Superior to other more expensive properties."

It is right next to all the local eateries, coffee shops, breakfast places, ice cream shops etc. For 10 minutes walk you get to the grocery store, the docks and a very nice restaurant Shelter. The staff - very friendly, efficient and professional. The room - very roomy and clean. The washroom is spacious. It has a nice balcony. The view - it is beautiful. The back of the room has a balcony facing the beautiful harbor, mountains and a small secluded garden. You get to see the harbor changing colors, kayaker paddling across the harbor. The garden always has different birds visiting. We even get to see a family of raccoons in this fruit tree eating. Trails - there are easy trails taking you to secluded beaches.
