Best place to stay on the island!

My stay was amazing! Very clean and comfortable, I was treated like family and enjoyed the stories about the island. She was a great cook plus always able to get cold water or tea 24/7. I wanted to stay longer but it was time to return home. I will return in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
The room and bedding were clean. Not sure why there were six pillows on the bed. The room was advertised as Bed and Breakfast, no breakfast provided - disapointed. The owner provided two names of restaurants close by that served breakfast at my cost. The TV had limited service and no alarm clock. The parking stalls are small and shared with the owner's vehicle. . When leaving the parking stall, you need to back onto a busy street with a limited safety view. There are many trees and shrubs on both sides of the driveway that obstruct the view up to the main busy street - not safe and dangerous.

The property owner was super attentive. The location was central and walkable to both the beach and the main strip. And the accommodations were spacious - loads of natural light and the small patio with umbrella was a perfect space to start my mornings.

Voor een fijn verblijf ben je aan het goede adres.

Wat een heerlijk verblijf!!! Deze cottage was klein maar fijn én van alle gemakken voor zien. Enige nadeel was het bed dat wat wiebelig was. Eigenaresse erg sympathiek en deelde veel informatie. Wij verbleven er twee nachten. Zijn vanuit daar naar Ucluelet gereden. Was prima te doen. Helaas op die dag geen tijd meer gehad om naar Tofino te gaan. Als je het niet erg vind om in het donker terug te rijden was het wel te doen. Cottage ligt op een prima locatie. Centrum kun je te voet bereiken. Kortom verblijf hier is aan te bevelen.

A typical BnB. Shared bathroom and a bedroom. NO air conditioning and the provided fan kept quitting plus, of course, it was not capable of cooling the air.

Eine perfekte Lage und die sehr nette Eigentümerin gleichen ein kleines Zimmer ohne eigenes Bad aus. Für unseren Bedarf - eine Nacht auf Durchreise - war das völlig in Ordnung.
