HALFMOON COTTAGE at Florencia Bay Reterat is self-catering and privately located on a 2.4 acre old growth forested property bordering Pacific Rim National Park, within walking distance of Florencia Bay and Halfmoon Bay via the Willowbrae Trail. This is a place to unplug and reconnect with nature and decompress from the busyness of life.
All windows frame in the beautiful old growth forest, making this cottage very peaceful. Featuring a beautifully hand crafted log staircase leading up to an open loft bedroom with a queen bed. The cozy living room has a queen size pullout couch that sleeps 2 comfortably. There is a private hot tub nestled in tall cedars & hemlocks. Halfmoon has a double slipper clawfoot tub (for 2), a stand up shower, antique-finish hardwood floors, cast iron fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling picture windows offering great views of the rainforest from all rooms.
About 5 minutes from the town of Ucluelet and a nice coastal drive to the world renowned beaches in the Pacific Rim National Park and the town of Tofino.

Peaceful and relaxing stay
We absolutely loved staying in the Halfmoon Cottage. I was a bit concerned it might be too close to the main road but it was set far enough back on the property for peace and quiet and privacy.
The cabin was very comfortable and cozy and loved the hot tub right outside our door.
Booking with Tofino Vacation Rentals was fantastic. They were so helpful and organized to ensure our stay was great.
The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our dinners.
We are planning to make this an annual get away. Maybe even twice a year.
I always hesitate to book on non hotel websites but this was one of best stays I can remember. It was so easy to check in and the property was amazing. The kitchen was actually well equipped for cooking and the hot tub was so enjoyable. There was construction at the cottage next door but I didn't hear anything at all - in fact I heard no sounds besides nature. I would highly recommend this cottage, I cannot wait to rebook it in the future, and I've already told everyone I know how amazing it was!

Cabin in the woods
We had a lovely few day stay in the halfmoon cottage in Florencia Bay cottages. The cabin was private and cozy with a full kitchen and a hot tub making our stay very enjoyable, the two of us and our dog Jake were able to relax and make ourselves at home. The TofinoVR staff had great communication from the moment we booked until we were on our way back home.
We will stay here again.
Stunning forest and cottage and close to wonderful hikes. We really enjoyed it and it met our expectations, we would definitely come back and will tell our friends/family. Thank you

Quiet and comfortable stay!
Easy to feel at home here! This stay was very enjoyable for my 3 person family and our dog - non-fussy, quality amenities and gorgeous wood cabin. The rain didn't matter, we enjoyed the hot tub and easy walking through the rainforest nearby. Thank you!

Perfect Westcoast chill experience
My wife and I have stayed at TVR Flo Bay Retreat twice, and both times have been absolutely perfect. The pictures online hardly capture the beautiful and private forested surroundings. Can't wait to come back.
It was a wonderful way to spend our 50th anniversary. We cooked all our own meals, cozied up by the fireplace, enjoyed the hot tub, while our two dogs were content to lay on the deck. A very sweet little cabin that was perfect for us.

Lovely cottage with ample space and great amenities, in a wonderful part of the world. 10 out of 10, would definitely go back :)
We had an amazing stay at this cabin tucked into the beautiful Ucluelet rainforest. The cabin itself is stunning and was exactly what we wanted for our getaway. The location is great - a short walk to the trailhead that leads to Florencia and Halfmoon Bays, 10min drive to Ucluelet, half an hour to Tofino. We will definitely be coming to stay again!

Exceptional stay
The property is always spotless, beautiful and so peaceful. This was our 2nd stay and it was as amazing if not even better. The exceptional TVR staff go above and beyond to ensure your comfort and happiness at their locations! I will continue to book through them. Truly a gem in the woods, while being a quick drive to everything you beed/want! I love how support for local businesses is always evident and the best.
Everything was exactly as described. A perfect spot for relaxation and access to all that Ucluelet and Tofino have to offer. Loved the little touches such as Rhino coffee and Saltspring Soapworks products.

Love this cabin!
We just recently spent three nights in the Halfmoon Cottage and absolutely loved it! The cabin is incredibly comfortable. Spacious while still giving that cozy cabin feel. The hot tub was absolutely glorious particularly after getting drenched in the rain while out exploring. The furniture is sooo comfortable, perfect for curling up and reading while the fire gets the cabin toasty warm. L

Wonderfl!
This is the second time that we have stayed at Flo Bay cottages. The first time we stayed at the Copper Cabin and this last time at Halfmoon Cottage.
Our stay was wonderful. I can't say enough about Tofino Vacation Rentals. We had a couple of issues that had to be addressed - minor ones and the response to our request for service was fast and efficient. They were also very nice to communicate with and asked if there was anything else we needed.
I will definitely contact them again the next time we head out to Ucluelet.
