great place, great location, great weather. we will be back!

Beautiful setting, close to beach. Wonderful experience 😊

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 great stay and would come here again. We like privacy and this was very private.

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!

Our second time staying here... you can see the original review below... and it was every bit as lovely as the first. Great little property and the owners are the best! Thanks again.
