My wife and I travel to Tofino often, usually once a year, to relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings that Tofino and the surrounding area offer. We also enjoy the fine dining and other amenities Tofino has, in addition to its crashing surf, spectacular hikes, and massive rainforests.
We have stayed in various places over the years - from the Wickanninish, to cabins you can rent on Chesterman Beach. Maddy's awesome loft at The Shore has been our favourite place of all to stay. It is a brilliantly decorated, spacious and modern loft overlooking the harbour in the centre of Tofino. Mornings, we would drink coffee on the patio and watch the eagles soar above us. Evenings we watched the sunsets sipping wine. On Canada Day, we had front-row seats to the evening fireworks display in the harbour.
From Maddy's unit, you can walk just about anywhere (makes having more than one glass of wine with dinner a no-brainer). Don't feel like going out for dinner? No problem: you have a gourmet kitchen and BBQ to cook whatever you like (or warm up Sobo-to-Go take-out). A lot of days, we did not really need the car we had rented, but for day treks to Ucluelet and into Pacific Rim National Park it was extremely convenient to have secure underground parking at The Shore, so we had the option when we wanted it without ever sweating for street parking.
In summary, Maddy's place is stunning and luxurious, and for those that love nature but also want space and comfort, her loft is an ideal place to stay. The views out of the 2-storey wall of windows is stunning - and a joy to wake up to each day. Maddy was absolutely unbelievable to deal with, and made the entire rental process as smooth and easy as can be. Her property manager, Patty, is an absolute delight (the Canada Day fireworks were courtesy of Patty's dad's tug and barge - kudos!).
We can't recommend Maddy's place, and Maddy herself, highly enough. We had an outstanding experience and we hope to stay with Maddy again (and again, and again...).
Thanks!
