Here’s what our guests are saying!

“I think I have stayed in Don’s place 4/5 times I’ve been to Tofino and I don’t think I would want to book anywhere else. It’s private, yet accessible, away from town, yet close, and truly captures the “get away from it all” feeling. It is so relaxing to stay in this beautiful home. Don is a great host, extremely welcoming, accommodating and has the best heart. You can tell he just wants you to have a good time. I would highly recommend staying here!”

“This chalet is beautiful and has the best location in Tofino! It sits on Jensen’s Bay and is a ten minute walk down to Chesterman Beach!! I’ve stayed here twice within the year and I’m already looking to book my next vacation here. Don is an amazing host, responds quickly and provides you with whatever you need! This is definitely my new favourite getaway in Tofino!”

“Flawlessly crafted stay in the heart of Tofino. Breathtaking views that filled our souls. Perfectly located very close to everything, yet far enough away to watch for bears roaming across the flats at low tide...right from the couch next to the fire. Seen a million stars and heard owls off in the distance. Never stayed at a more exquisite place. Best kept secret on the Island...”

“Stayed here 2 times, once in 2018 and once in 2021. Location and host are amazing. Walk to the beach, perfect distance to town and local restaurants outside of town to avoid the rushes of town. Chesterman beach is the best out of all and it's the closest one to this house.”

“New Favourite. We stayed here for 3 nights which was truly wonderful. The house has a great vibe and views from every room. Nice easy walk to Chesterman’s Beach and quick drive into town. Very well equipped kitchen and linens. The views are amazing no matter what the weather is. This is my new favourite place to stay in Tofino. Communication with the owner and check in was easy. I highly recommend!”

”Extremely private setting where you get a great sense of nature, the wraparound deck is encased within a dense rain forest in which Tofino is so well known for. Minutes walk from South Chesterman’s Beach is perfect for a walk or surf. Kitchen is stacked with all the things needed for a great meal. Coffee grinder and drip machine for that morning brew. Great big table for dinners that could sit 8. Check-in/checkout was a breeze and communication with the owners was prompt. True reflection, would I book again? YES!”

“Don & Tofino Chalet are exceptional. Staying at his home was an absolutely euphoric experience. I have tried many places for our annual family vacations from Ukee through to Tonquin, and Tofino Chalet takes the cake for location, nothing but great surprises at the spectacular house, and comparative value for the rate.”

“What I love about the Tofino Chalet is its tranquility and breathtaking view. I can sit on the patio or in the living room for hours and look over the water towards the mountains. After vacationing on the west side of the peninsula for years, I now think that Tofino Chalet’s view on the east side is even more beautiful. Outstanding actually. The Chalet’s location is ideal. I can easily walk to my favourite beach in Tofino, Chesterman Beach, and very much enjoy not having to take the car. At the same time, the Chalet’s location is more secluded and less busy than Chesterman Beach, another big plus in my opinion. Last but not least, the village of Tofino with all its great restaurants as well as the Pacific Rim National Park are only a short drive away. As for the Chalet itself, I can easily call it a home away from home. It is very well equipped, cozy, and have I mentioned the view…? ;-) Since I found the Tofino Chalet, there is no other place in Tofino that I would rather stay at.”

“This Tofino home is absolutely stunning, with private unobstructed ocean views overlooking a bird sanctuary, comfy beds, fire pit, fully stocked kitchen, gorgeous loft space, this is a 10 star accommodation. Has everything and more you will need! Don was extremely easy to deal with, would recommend Tofino Chalet for anyone. We have come here with our family and again as a couples trip, both were fantastic.”

— Leanne

“Loved every second of staying in the chalet - the location is perfect, the views are unbelievable and the cabin is amazing. Don was great to deal with and always extremely responsive. I’ve found my Tofino home! Highly recommend you stay!”
