We enjoyed our stay at Duffin Cove. The view and location was wonderful. The rooms were just a bit small and there was nowhere at the lodge to get together to see our friends (like a common area or outdoor fire pits). Would’ve been nice to have daily housekeeping service. The beds were extremely soft, and the pillows weren’t the best. It was a beautiful property though 😊

It’s a beautiful property with wonderful views. But it’s also very hands off, staff wise. Checking in was hard because the front desk girl didn’t come to the front desk for about 10 minutes. Then (with her air pods in) claimed she was busy doing laundry, and that’s why she didn’t hear us call for someone. We even tried phoning the hotel twice to see if that would coax someone to come out, and it didn’t. So that was frustrating. There’s also no restaurant or kitchenette, so you have to find somewhere in town to go for breakfast. Also, one gripe with the room was the bathroom sink was huge, but there was no counter space. So nowhere to put your toiletries or makeup or anything. Beautiful, but not functional is how I’d describe this hotel. For the prices they charge, I’d expect a more luxury experience.

Hi there Michelle,First, we'd like to thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled you enjoyed our property's breathtaking views. We're sorry to hear about your check-in experience. Our staff works hard to provide exceptional engagement, Tofino is a very small town and staff everywhere need to be flexible on-premises, especially during our winter season months in order to provide you with a memorable experience. We also provide signage on our door and front desk that we will return in 10 minutes. Duffin Cove's property is unique as we are located in the heart and downtown core of Tofino allowing for an abundant array of dining options within seconds away from your door. Including a restaurant steps away on our sister property The Maq Hotel. We're sorry the rooms were not up to your standards and we appreciate your feedback as it is important to us for the future experiences of our guests. Thank you again for staying with us Michelle and for your insight. We wish you all the best.

The view from the balcony out over the water was gorgeous. The property is located minutes from all the main shop’s & restaurants in town. The location is much more quiet just tucked minutes away from the busy Main Street of Tofino. They service was excellent and staff kept us updated by text and even emailed prior our trip to explain about the highway closures to be expected. Would highly recommend.

The secluded waterfront view from my room was amazing, and the location close to town was very convenient. Staff were very helpful, accommodating a late check-in and regularly checking in via text throughout my stay. Loved having the in-room Nespresso machine. My room itself was nice and simple but had some signs of wear (perhaps one of the rooms that hasn’t been renovated yet?). Overall a great value though, as the view and convenience were the most important things for me.

This was the highlight stay off my trip around BC. The staff were wonderful. Loved the fact that I could go and get more coffee pods for my morning coffee, I’m a coffee drinker and when a hotel only supplies you with 2 or 3 is never enough. Not here , they allowed me to get pods when I needed them. The views are just magical, The cozy blanket kept me warm on the cool evening watching the sunset . Within walking distance to everything in Tofino . Great stay, I would come back here over and over. The balcony views will be worth every penny .

We had a truly remarkable stay. The room had a large balcony overlooking the ocean with amazing views. It was so quiet that it seemed that we were the only ones there even though there were other guests. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was lovely with its double sinks and rain shower. The hotel is in a great location, close to shops, a grocery store, restaurants and local attractions. The people at the front desk were friendly and provided us with necessary information as to what was open and closed given the fact that it was low season. If In my travels, I find myself back in Tofino, I would only stay at the Duffin Cove Oceanfront Lodging.

Absolutely stunning north cabin stay. Walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, coffee shops, and retail stores. Only negative was hauling suitcases up and down many flights of stairs, but understandable considering the set up of the property. Just something to be aware of.

Our stay at Duffin Cove was simply magical. Perfect location, right in town and walking distance to literally everything. We stayed in the eagle cabin and the view was absolutely breathtaking. We had a few issues with the tv and fireplace, but the staff were so responsive and helpful - they made it their mission to ensure we were having the best time. You could easily visit Tofino and not even leave this resort - absolute paradise! The beds were comfy, the nespresso pods were stocked, and you can’t put a price on that gorgeous ocean view. Thanks for having us! 10/10 recommend
