This cottage has everything one could need for a stay right near Chesterman Beach. Appliances are mostly new and working exceptionally well.. I was delighted to find a gas stove and a Bosch dishwasher. Just bring you snacks/food and beverages, and enjoy!t

A peaceful oasis, minutes walk from the beach calming waves from a distance. The home is cared for with all the amenities needed for a full weeks stay. Outdoor bath was the cherry on top, well kept and a treat to be in nature while in a bath. We'll come back for sure!

We had a lovely time at the Haidaway. The cottage was spotless, the beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed. The space was just right for our family of three with my teenage daughter taking the loft and my husband and I downstairs. You can tell that Sulo and Louise really think about what will make guests feel welcome and what they might need during their stay. We were greeted with a sample of local chocolates and found a little vase of flowers from the garden in the kitchen and bathroom. I was surprised and thrilled to find tea, coffee beans, and even detergent as I'm used to bringing my own. These little touches are greatly appreciated and the other Vrbo's I've stayed at could really learn from this one! Finally, the location was perfect. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the hummingbirds and it was just steps to the beach. We fell in love with Chesterman Beach and walked it several times a day. Our original plan to visit Tofino in 2020 to celebrate a milestone anniversary and birthday was derailed by Covid but it was worth the three year wait. We had a wonderful time and hope to return and stay here again!

My partner and I absolutely loved the Haidaway. The size of the cottage is spacious for two and has everything one needs for an enjoyable stay. The decor of the cottage adds to the experience - cool, local art, nice plants and simply appointed but quality furnishings. To me, the Haidaway felt a bit magical. Approaching this gorgeous cabin through an Edison bulb-lit foliage tunnel of a pathway; seeing its private, tucked-away location on this grassy knoll — it wouldn’t be a far cry to see it fitting in to a Lord of the Rings film. Okay, the practical stuff: I appreciate the hosts’ balance of letting you know they’re nearby and supportive while being absent and maintaining privacy. The cabin’s preparation demonstrates a thoughtfulness for the visitor—gentle music playing upon arrival, folded towels, robes tucked and ready, thorough instructions awaiting. The location is great - minutes from the beach (by foot) and popular amenities (by car) and a quick drive into the heart of Tofino. The Haidaway will give you (and your party, if you’ve got one) a comfortable and delightful experience of the Clayoquat/Pacific Rim splendour and hospitality. We’ll definitely be staying again! Thank you Sulo and Louise!

We have visited Tofino before but this was our first time at the Haidaway Cottage... we thoroughly enjoyed it! Clean, comfortable and very cozy on the rainy days/nights; located literally steps from South Chesterman with great access to other nearby beaches, the MUP, etc. though still secluded and private. One note, the parking spot is a little tight, this was not an issue for us (1/2-ton pickup) but if you have a bigger vehicle, perhaps inquire with the hosts first and/or don't be surprised. Greatly appreciated the garden hose for rinsing surfing gear as well plenty of places to hang things up to dry. Also worth noting, we thought the kitchen was quite well equipped; food in Tofino is very good but can be expensive so it was nice to be able to cook a few simple meals at the cottage. Just two of us so we only used the main floor and not the loft, but the loft looked like a great option for another couple or a few kids. In summary, we really loved this location, it was affordable, and perfect for our needs. Thank-you to Sulo and Louise for providing/maintaining such a great accommodation.

All stress vanished as soon as we walked through the door. The cabin was warm and inviting with soft music playing in the background giving us a sense of peace and relaxation. The hosts had everything covered which made our stay incredible. The outdoor tub was a treat and magical Chesterman Beach was only a short walk away. Thank-you so much Sulo and Louise.

This property was everything we had hoped for and more. It was clean, cozy, comfortable, perfectly located for a short walk to the beach, and was fully equipped for our family of 4. We will definitely return.

This is our second time staying at the Haidaway, both visits have been amazing. I have a stressful job and a week in the quiet oasis created by Louise and Sulo provided the time away that we needed. From the super comfy bed and conveniences of a full kitchen and cable tv to the lovely Adirondack chairs on the deck in the lush and private garden, its hard not to relax! The outdoor tub and exterior shower for post-surf/swim are very much appreciated. As the cabin is only steps from the beach, we particularly enjoyed our early morning coffee walks or late night beach strolls to catch the sunsets on Chesterman. We will keep returning as long as you will have us!

We had a super nice stay there. The only negative was that our stay was way too short. This place was very clean, and quiet. It is very private, cozy, zen, hostpitable , beautiful lot with lots of plants and it is less than 2 minutes walk from the best beach around. It is near all amenities one need. Kitchen well stocked with spices, condiments, blender and cute small BBQ outside. The host provided all info and answers we needed very promptly. You have the sun basically all day on various part of the nice deck. Outdoor shower and bath tub. I highly recommend it. I will be back. Thank you.

We chose the Haidaway as an anniversary weekend treat and were NOT disappointed in any way. From all our our vacation rentals over the years, this one is the most complete with supplies, the cleanest, and actually beyond expectations set by the description of the property. Literally across the street from Chesterman Beach, WOW! And so private! Sulo and Louise knew it was a special occasion for us and left a bottle of bubbly and selection of local chocolates to enjoy in the outside, claw foot tub, so thoughtful!! We will be looking forward to returning to this oasis, except for longer next time!

Exactly as advertised. Extremely tranquil and a stones throw from Chesterman’s beach to catch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We felt very at home with comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, warm outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and easy check in. We only wish our stay was longer.
