I ( along with my adult kids and grandkids) had a great stay! The Bedrooms all had a view of the ocean and comfy beds and the big living room was perfect and planning our activities and resting up after a busy day. Cathy gave us the best tips for hiking and beach walks including renting wet suits and boogie boards to play all day in the cold Pacific Ocean. We had a blast. We all would have loved to stay longer. Thanks Cathy!
This is a great Tofino property right adjacent to the Tonquin trail to the beach and with direct access albeit with stairs, some of which are not accompanied with rails. The lodging was great for three guys who have been getting together for more than 50 years. The kitchen is well stocked and the host always willing to provide what might have been needed. We did use the grill for a couple of our dinners (featuring fish acquired from The Fish Store). There are about 16 steps (probably 8" height each) down to the lodging....keep in mind. The view is excellent and the bird sounds superb as we identified at least eight different species. Proximity to town is very good. All in all a very good choice. We were even provided with fresh flowers and homemade bars.
The rooms were nice and well furnished. Noise level from above was often quite loud and disruptive. The towels were kindly laid out in the washroom and on the beds, however, the smell was unpleasant.The access to the beach is beautiful and the setting of the property is lovely.
The place is incredible. The location amazing. Such a perfect place for a young family looking to get away to the seaside. Everything you'd need for cozy mornings and nights. Such a warm place and everything you need for a getaway.
Cathy is an excellent host - brought a loaf of fresh bread and homemade blackberry jelly. The location is amazing -close to town, the Tonquin trail. The private beach is spectacular. We hope to return.
We loved staying in this beautiful property by Tonquin Beach. It is a magical place, complete with sea stars and sea urchins, eagles flying by, evening sunsets, and a lovely landlord who brings fresh baked cookies! We highly recommend this location, and hope that we will be able to stay here again someday in the future.
This is perfect property for our family, right of top of two beaches for our son to spend time in & about the water. It's also a mere 10 minute walk to town, so no need for parking & paying for same when you just need a few things or want to grab a bite. Cathy & Steve are very hospitable hosts; the beds are comfy & kitchen well stocked. We'll be back!
This property was a lovely experience from start to finish. The host, Cathy, is wonderful and has a wonderful list of recommendations for trails and food that we greatly enjoyed. As mentioned in the other reviews, the pocket beach and access to the tonquin beach trail are highlights and the space had everything we wanted for our family. We also loved the proximity to nearby trails between Tofino and Ucluelet. Highly recommend this property, thank you Cathy for making our trip so memorable by sharing your lovely space!

Thank you, Laura.
The weather was perfect for your stay and you were able to take full advantage of all the local amenities!
Walked to town numerous times for eating and shopping. Hiked through the rain forest to a few fantastic beaches. Host was very accommodating and gracious. Property has a very nice private beach with interesting tidal pools to explore. House is beautiful and has a well-equipped kitchen, bedrooms are spacious and beds are comfortable.
Very comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic location

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Thicke
We bought our house in 1989, and began doing Bed and Breakfast in Tofino in 1990, as one of only 5 homes to do so. In 1998 we converted the main floor of the large house into a private vacation rental suite, allowing guests to share our experience of living 'on the beach'. My husband works at the hospital in Tofino, as a physician, and I serve on the District of Tofino Council, Tonquin Trail Committee, and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for its 1.3 acre south and west facing beachfront, and its proximity to town and the local hospital! It is a very unique property, with two beaches, hiking trail, great kayaking, 'supping' opportunities, whale watching, breath-taking sunsets, and the best low tide viewing on the Tofino coastline. You can even surf on Tonquin Beach in the winter! The sunsets here are sublime!
What makes this property unique
Beach walking and the new Tonquin Trail through old growth rainforest and sandy beaches, SUP-ing, kayaking, fishing from beach ( June to September ), whale watching from the beach in front, surfing, storm-watching, trampoline on property, and wonderful food- Tofino has many Canadian culinary delights ! ( Sobo, Tacofino and Shelter are our favourites!)
