We received 2 weekends in Tofino as wedding gifts. One for the Wickaninnish and one for the Gold Coast Retreat. I quite enjoy a good luxury hotel, and the Retreat blew the Wick out of the water! The Shipwreck was such a sweet rustic cabin, and you can tell the owners put so much love into the place. There wasn't... More

Where do I even start? My husband and I wanted to find a place to celebrate our Birthdays and Gold Coast Resort was recommended by a colleague. We arrived late in the evening and were greeted by a lovely hand written note on the door Welcoming us to our special place. The romantic almost dreamlike lighting of the deck outside... More

We stayed in the Ship Wreck studio for several days. From the moment we walked in until we left, we felt so comfortable and "at home" that we both thought "we could live here!" It's quaint, cozy, warm, and completely equipped (range, fridge, utensils, dishes, laundry, etc.). It was sparkling clean, the bed very comfortable, the sauna wonderful, and the... More

My husband and I along with our dog stayed in the Hacienda cottage for 3 nights over the Christmas break to relax and destress. This was a great place to do it. The hosts made everything as easy as possible, the location was perfect, and the cottage was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the sauna one afternoon and spent many... More

If you are on a vacation to relax, enjoy the local beaches, perhaps do a little surfing, this home away from home is ideal. The Shipwreck (one of three cottages) is a charming cozy cottage with all the amenities. And I mean all. You do not have to bring a thing except your personal affects. The kitchen is fully equipped... More

We recently stayed in the Haidaway cabin and it couldn't have been better as far as comfort, cleanliness and an excellently appointed kitchen. It was so very private with a wonderful deck area where we enjoyed our evening cocktails as the sun set. It takes just one minute to walk to gorgeous Chesterman Beach. Our only disappointment was that the... More

What a wonderful romantic hidey-hole! From the soft jazz music playing when we first opened the doors to the wild flowers in vases, fully equipped kitchen, spotless clean, steps to the beach. Had a wonderful time enjoying an every nite bubble bath in the outdoor clawfoot bathtub. My significant other loved the outdoor shower. We will definately back! We can't... More

Just got back from a short stay at the Haidaway and it couldn't have been better. Our cabin was so perfect, steps away from Chesterman Bay, privately situated in the beautiful Tofino lush brush. The cabin is so perfect, I felt like a spoiled surf bum. Everything is provided and more to make your stay quaint and get you in... More

We have stayed in both the Haidaway and La Hacienda, as a couple and with friends and our experience has always been outstanding. The cabins themselves are equipped with every possible amenity imaginable and are very comfortable and clean. The sauna and giant bathtub (in the Haidaway) are more than just novelties and really round out the whole "tofino experience".... More
