Amazing place. We never remember to review a place after a stay, but the Hacienda is perfect: so close to the beach, killer A-frame with perfect combo of old school Tofino funk and everything you need, great deck, and the hosts were the best. Clean, bright, fun, cozy. We cannot wait to book again.

Comfy, cozy , beautiful place

Our family of 3 had a great time! loved being close to the beach, the house was spacious and it was peaceful to sit on the deck and listen to the sound of the waves in the distance. Our toddler loved all the books and to play in the yard as well- thanks for being so friendly and accommodating!

Our family of four had a lovely stay over a long weekend. The Hacienda was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was perfect - a short walk to Chesterman Beach and short drive to downtown Tofino. Keane and Patrick were responsive and check in/out seamless. We will definitely be back.

Great family getaway…

This was the perfect getaway for our family (2 teens). Very clean and included everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and living room (tv, wifi, games). One minute walk to the beach-great for daily walks. Quick drive into town. Owners were very responsive and easy going. I would book again if we decide to go back next year.
