What a great stay! Perfect mix of ocean front, fishing and just great company. Betsy and Chris are great people, very hospitable. It was great to be able to gather around the fire or in the hot tub jacuzzi to trade stories on the daily Tofino experiences. We loved meeting other tourists from all over and the open concept kitchen... more

We stumbled across the Tofino Swell Lodge on a road trip in 2001. We couldn't believe it- we had the ocean literally 50 feet from our door, and we paid about $50 US for it.

I have stayed in many hotels/motels in my life, but I have never experienced such bad service. I stayed at this lodge this summer. I was given a room that was right off of the kitchen/common area.
