We immensely enjoyed spending 2 days of our 30th anniversary trip there in Tofino. Our basic cabin with sea view, had a tiny inlet off the ocean which came to within 30 feet of our cabin deck at high tide. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on our deck with our wine and charcuterie dinner we had assembled, looking over the ocean. I turned to my wife and said we haven't seen a bald eagle in two days. Five minutes later, on cue, a bald eagle lands on a dead tree branch over our inlet 40 feet away, with some crustacean he was snacking on and stayed there for five minutes, giving plenty of time for some snapshots and video. Then for the rest of the evening I said "I haven't seen and orca on this trip" but unfortunately my luck had expired and we never did see an orca. We did go whale watching out of Tofino and saw some grey whales, sea otters and sea lions. The continental breakfast there is the most luxurious ever with fresh baked croissants, cinnamon rolls and muffins being brought out regularly, and they even keep some out all afternoon if you want to stop by for free baked delights and coffee. We ate dinner there at the lodge one night and had Ling cod which was fresh and delicious. We kind of splurged to stay here, but it was well worth it, and if we com back to Tofino again we will stay here again. The staff was very friendly and willing to talk to you. This place was probably the highlight of our trip to Vancouver Island.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this property. Our ocean view room was clean, comfortable and although small with no tv, just fine for a quiet getaway. The continental breakfast each morning in the adjoining lodge was fresh with a variety of pastries, bread and bagels, fruit, endless coffee and tea, boiled eggs, cheese and cold cuts. Fresh baked cookies appeared each night around 8pm too which was a nice treat. We also took advantage of the one sitting, evening meal available on site which took place in the other lodge. It consisted of fresh caught that day fish and an abundance of fabulous cooked vegetable's and salad and choice of deserts. Well worth it. We also walked the trail through the forest from Middle Beach to Tofino. Easy walk and takes about half an hour each way.

Property is in a gorgeous location. Our room was too small ... not even a chair. And stairs were steep and missing a railing for a portion. Not great for the elderly!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The beauty and serenity made for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed all the hikes around the property, access to the beaches, overlooks, tidal pools, breakfast, cookies, and the lodge itself. Big shoutout to Kayla for all her tips, service, and with whom we looked forward to sharing our daily adventures. She was a delight! This place has it all, and is quintessential Vancouver Island!

Overall as advertised. If you like it quiet, the beach lodge is smaller and has a private beach. If you're more social the Headwater Lodge has the bar and access to the larger public beach. Both are meticulously decorated and have excellent continental breakfast, and of the dozen or so staff I met at both lodges I didn't run across one who didn't take their job seriously. **Note: We visited in February without a vehicle (admittedly the exception rather than the rule) and we did find it somewhat difficult with the resort being 15 or so minutes from town and not offering dining on site other than pizza. We made it work and it's my understanding that in peak season this wouldn't have been a problem and we would have had meal options available. Not a deal breaker by any means. Excellent property.

Beautiful location, lacking some character
What a beautiful location, we stayed in a cabin overlooking the ocean and it was amazing. Loved the cabin and spending time on the balcony. Good location for exploring Tofino, easy drive into town. The hotel itself and communal spaces were the let down. Again, the main space was done up really nicely with a beautiful view of the sea, but it just lacked any atmosphere. There was no music or life to the space and the bar closed at 9pm. It felt quite stale to us, but possibly well suited to an older couple (most other guests were!). The "deluxe" breakfast was very basic and would say deluxe was a stretch! Just basic bagels and croissants. Would still recommend the hotel, but with some tweaks it could be so much better!

This is a spectacularly situated lodge. We needed to cut it short because of the road closure, but I wish we could have stayed there for much longer. Staff was super helpful, the room and the ocean view was amazing, the grounds were stunning and I especially liked the triple trail system that was part of the property and the beach access. Overall highly recommended in every aspect.

You have to be very careful when you booking stander room or other type of rooms. Stander room is way too small and have nothing in there. No chairs no table no TV no any small appliances. Just a queen size bed that you can sleep on.

This place is nothing short of amazing. Absolutely stunning views from all angles. We splurged for the Treehouse but the views from the adults-only lodge were just as stunning.

This is a well-positioned property at which I have stayed twice, once 15 years ago and once this year. The single room I had could really have used a chair, or something to put clothes on (no hanging space anywhere), to sit on to put your shoes on, maybe put your pack for sorting through.
