Great little motel with a good view, and within walking distance to everything you need. The rooms are basic, but you do not go without. Brenda and Jeff really bump everything up a notch - they are passionate, energetic and they really care about their guests. They are extremely helpful and accommodating - especially with our 6 year old son.... More

We originally were hoping to stay in Tofino but found this motel on Expedia in Ucluelet which was only 30 minutes from Tofino. Overall the motel was great, the lady working (I think she owns the place) was very helpful and took the time to explain all the great places to check out in the area. The motel seems very... More

Thank you very much for singing our praises on Tripadvisor! Glad you enjoyed our amenities and your unit. With regards to a hot tub, we did think long and hard about installing one on the property. We have chosen not to for a few reasons: -it requires emptying daily, which does not fit into our green ethics (all the local... More

Great little motel! Nice set up with kitchenette and room to sit and visit. Clean, comfortable beds and very convenient location. Nice and central, yet just off the main road so quiet. Close to the dock and short walk to stores. Enviro conscious too. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review our place. We are happy that you enjoyed it! Being environmentally concious is really such a simple thing and many customers appreciate it.

Business travel in Tofino and Ucluelet can be a challenge if you'd not forking out for the high end places, but this was a great find. The hosts upgraded the room, so I had a full kitchenette. The room faced the harbour - and overlooked the parking lot to a fabulous view of the sunrise. The room was very clean... More

A local resident recommended this hotel so we tried it. Check in was especially friendly and we found the rooms very comfortable. We could only stay one night so did not take advantage of all the kitchen facilities. Nice view and great location and a very reasonable price.

A last minute booking we were not sure what to expect when we arrived. The rooms were slightly dingy but otherwise this was a really really pleasant surprise - friendly staff and a clean and comfortable room with excellent self catering facilities
