For this part of our trip we decided to stay in hostels. We were on a budget and this place ticked all the boxes. The building (wooden struture) was well presented, modern and very clean. The staff at the hostel were very helpful and ensured that visitors kept to the rules. THe self cook kitchen facilities were always clean and organised. Organised recycling and waste bins, cuboards marked up made you feel welcome to use everything they had. Coffee was always available as long as you put money into the honesty jar.

The dorms were brilliant, proper wooden bunks.very clean.

The hostel is a study centre and is located in tofino botanical gardens. vistors staying at the hostel get free entry to the gardens. The gardens were special but the best bit was that you were able to go the waters edge and explore. So serene, reflections of mountains are made in the water and mud flats. A bird lovers paradise

The location of the hostel is about 1 mile from the tofino village centre, but this walk is very interesting. Its about the same distance from the nearest beach.

  • Liked — A hostel should be in a wooden lodge
  • Disliked — miles from Victoria but Tofino cant help where it is

I was so happy to find this place. August is a hard time to find a place to stay in Tofino, and I knew that I was risking it by making a reservation with only one week's notice... How lucky I was to happen upon The Field Station in the Tofino Botanical Gardens!

The staff were soooo friendly and helpful and the place is incredibly clean, warm and welcoming. A lovely lounge and dining area, an amazing kitchen (if only I had that kitchen at my house!), and of course staying in a botanical garden is something that is such a treat!

The Field Station brings educational groups and researchers to stay with them but they also are really inviting to travellers who want to stay in a quiet place with a focus on nature (there's a library!).

I loved having free WIFI and being able to walk down to the ocean through the botanical gardens to watch for birds and bears was a real treat.

There were 4 beds in my room - I paid $32 for a night, which was a deal considering that it included admission to the gardens and the kitchen and all... (I believe there's a private suite too, but not sure how much?). The folks staying at the hostel were all very mellow, quiet and pleasant to be around.

Highly, highly recommended.
