This is a wonderful shop with local and broader BC art in various forms - from beautiful artwork cards for $5.00 (6x9) to carved paddles, etc. I bought almost everything I needed to take home from this wonderful place!

Only stayed one night- wish we could have stayed longer! The room we had was very large and included a kitchenette and a hot tub on a balcony overlooking the harbour. Easy access to downtown shops and restaurants. The gift shop had some lovely items and we would have loved to take back some fish but it did not fit... More

We were due to stay at over 6 hotels during our trip through Canada, and we were looking forward to the House of Himwitsa more than any other. The thought of the Hot Tub overlooking the stunning views was too exciting. Upon arrival there was a road closure so we got lost, and one of the staff members was happy... More

As a visitor to North America we were a little concerned about what the term 'self catering' actually meant. We need not have worried, as the range and standard of equipment provided was excellent. The accommodation is spacious, facilities are superb and the views from the balcony overlooking the Sound totally delightful. Our room had a hot tub on the... More

Great family owned place gives personalized service like adjusting our hot tub temp, bringing restaurant order to our room, great off the beaten path travel tips, etc. The view is to die for on the front suites, especially at sunrise and sunset while watching the fishing boats, wildlife come and go.Seeing the float planes take off in front of the...

We had fabulous views from our room which overlooked the harbor & Clayquot Sound. The hot tub on the balcony was a highlight. The room was very spacious with a small kitchenette area.

The bathroom was large and modern. The room had a large balcony with two nice deck chairs that overlooked Clayquot Sound and a... More

We stayed here for 1 night (unfortunately as we would have stayed longer if they weren't booked) last week and it was fantastic. We were in Room #1, which was huge, 2 double beds, fireplace, kitchen, private deck balcony with hot tub, fabulous views over the marina where the float planes go from, big TV and great restaurant downstairs.

Himwatsa House is a solid choice for your first visit to Tofino. It has clean, large rooms, some with great views of Clayquot Sound, and is centrally located in the very small town of Tofino. Everything is within walking distance. Staff was helpful, and overall, my stay was very satisfactory. The only reason for the overall rating of average is... More
