Cedar and Swell

Cedar and Swell is perched above Tofino's bustling harbour, and the view arrives before you have set your bags down. Large windows frame Clayoquot Sound and the old-growth forest beyond, and the private patio puts you right over the water where boats drift in and out all day. This bright, modern studio keeps you in the heart of downtown while giving you a quiet place to unwind.

Sleep in Comfort

The queen bed is tucked into a cozy, private nook within the studio. It is a bachelor-style layout, so there is no full door separating the sleeping area, but the nook gives you a sense of retreat. The sofa converts to a bed for a third guest. The full bathroom has a tub and shower combination stocked with Carina Organics shampoo and conditioner made in Vancouver. Linens and towels are cleaned with Nellie's ocean-safe, fragrance-free products.

Gather and Unwind

The open-concept living and dining space is airy and full of light, with a dining table for four set against the harbour view. Relax on the sofa and stream from your own profiles on the wall-mounted Smart TV, or settle in with a cup of Foggy Bean coffee brewed in the drip machine. The compact kitchen is fully functional with a full-size fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave and cooking basics, with salt, pepper and locally sourced Thay Tea provided. On a clear evening, the patio is the place for sunset drinks as the harbour lights come on.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

Everything downtown Tofino offers is a short walk away, from cafés and restaurants to galleries, shops and the waterfront. Whale watching, kayaking, world-class fishing and wildlife viewing tours leave from the harbour below you. The Multi-Use Path runs from town toward the beaches and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, and Long Beach Golf Course is a short drive down the road. In summer a free shuttle runs from town to the info centre, and the public bus connects Tofino and Ucluelet.

Thoughtful Touches

Self check-in is by keypad, and Blue Crush is local and reachable by phone or text with tips and help. One designated on-site parking stall suits most SUVs, though larger trucks may find it tight. The studio is on the second level, reached by stairs or a ramp from the lower parking lot. A card-operated laundry room is on the second floor of the building. Your dog gets towels, a small bed and bowls, and the concierge team can arrange grocery delivery with 48 hours' notice.

Come for the harbour views, and stay for the easy rhythm of downtown Tofino.
