Laundry Access for Extended Stays during winter season ONLY: For guests staying 7 nights or longer, we may be able to offer access to an on-site washer and dryer during our quieter season, from November 1 through March 31. Laundry access is available only on select days and must be arranged in advance. If you're planning an extended stay and would like to use this option, please reach out to us before your arrival to inquire about availability. Please note that laundry facilities are not available for guest use from April 1 through October 31.***For guests who require laundry facilities outside these dates or during shorter stays, there is a local laundromat available in town.



***On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed vacation rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite. This requirement helps support the local community by ensuring that long-term housing remains available for people who live and work in Tofino. Guests have full and private access to the entire vacation rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area. The caretaker has their own separate living space, so guests can still enjoy the privacy and comfort of the vacation rental throughout their stay.



Additional Notes:

Please note that there is no washing machine or dryer available for guest use at this property.

For group bookings (up to 6 guests), consider booking the Crow’s Nest Suite (sleeps 2) — located on the same property

Shared amenities (hot tub and outdoor shower) are rarely crowded and often enjoyed privately
