Salal Forest - 2 bedroom cabin in the forest

Two bedroom retreat close to the beaches and points of interest. Relax with the whole family at this peaceful home away from home surrounded by berries and birds, just steps away from the Botanical Gardens.

Roughly 1000 square feet of private space. Fully furnished kitchen with a lovely little island bar with all the necessities you need. The living room has a comfortable sectional couch with a nice sturdy coffee table, a TV with multiple channels to surf through. You will have access to the laundry room where you can find all the necessary towels and cleaning supplies.

The space is located on the cusp of town, secluded enough to maintain a quiet atmosphere and close enough to walk, bike or shuttle into the heart of Tofino. Our neighbour is the beloved Botanical Gardens where you can enjoy a morning coffee among beautiful flowers and mudflats filled with migrating birds. You can chose between Mackenzie and Middle beach, just a quick jaunt down the road, where Lil Ronnies has nightly music to serenade your sunset walks on the most beautiful beaches in Tofino. Beaches Grocery, Chocolate Tofino and Tacofino are all close to satisfy any cravings you might have.

Transit
To get to Tofino from the mainland, you need to take a ferry to Nanaimo (closest) or Victoria. From there, it's a scenic drive. Anywhere from 3 (Nanaimo) to 5 hours (Victoria). You can also fly into the airport with Pacific Coastal Airlines (the flight is stunning and so quick!) or seasonally, take a float plane from the Vancouver harbour downtown to Tofino harbour downtown.

There is a designated pedestrian path we call the MUP (multi use path) which is safe and has two lanes for walkers, bikers, joggers, strollers - you name it!. We encourage you to use it; it's one of the things that makes Tofino unique. The free Shuttle bus runs during the summer months from town to the info centre. There is a city transit service that runs from Tofino to Ucluelet with limited service. There are a couple bike rentals (pedal bike and e-bike). There is also a local rideshare app called Coastal Rides, our version of Uber (download their app). Tofino Taxi is another option (though only one driver/car). For larger groups, there is Tiki Bus + Pacific Rim Navigators that needs to be pre arranged. There is a Budget Rental car service at the Tofino Airport (also needs to be pre-arranged).
