Accommodation was just perfect for our family. Great location, well priced, beds were comfortable and had a full kitchen. It is not fancy or modern, a bit dated, but that was OK for us. The gym looked like it was well equipped. We did not use it. A couple of times we looked out our front window and there were deer in the yard. This place had a cabin vibe without the wood. Glad we decided to stay here and it was so affordable. We would definitely book here again, it’s only 30 minutes from Tofino. Shops, restaurants and wharf next door and a short 8 minute drive to the lighthouse loop hike (highly recommend).

Older property but interior was clean and functional. The exterior is need of an update. Only concern was we couldn't open any of the windows to get some fresh air. No air conditioning so likely would be quite hot on a warmer day. A bit pricey but nice to have a kitchen and sitting area.
