Tidbits from Tim

Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort

April 2024

 

After an amazing March with both Spring Break and Easter, we are looking forward to welcoming our April guests. April’s the last month before the late spring and early summer seasons really get underway.
 

During April, Tofino enjoys nice, warmer spring weather, with all of our outdoor activities including biking, surfing, beach and dog walking, and hiking. Also don’t forget our food and beverage opportunities. I think my favourite guest package this month has to be our three night visit with electric bikes included for two days. It is now possible to ride all the way through the national park to Ucluelet, a ride of over 30 KM! For the less energetic including me, Tofino is an easy 8 KM ride away, with all its attractions and shopping. Also our two night bed and brunch package including breakfast each day and an additional $100 food credit, is a no brainer! You never have to leave the resort.

I am very excited to announce that Trevor Peulen is returning to the resort as General Manager, starting on or before June 1st. Trevor has been managing a hotel in Victoria but wishes to come back to Tofino. Our staff are all really pleased that he is returning, as am I. He will be a great asset in assisting both our guests and staff. Many of you already know Trevor. He will be delighted to reconnect with many of our valued guests. 

 

The other big news is that our Mayor and the majority of council have banned immediately the illegal Short Term Rentals in Tofino. This will have a huge positive impact on our community and residents, as without illegal STR’s, housing will become available and more affordable for residents, and there will again be long term rentals on the market. The ban on illegal STR’s was long overdue and their predominantly out of town investors or speculators, will no longer be able to fly under the radar.

Best wishes for a happy April and warmer weather.

"One of the best “experience” hotels we’ve stayed in"
2024-10-29
We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 14 day road-trip from Ireland and all I can say is that it was absolutely amazing. The staff were all so welcoming, friendly and attentive. We stayed in room 313 which was on the top floor overlooking the beach with a balcony. Truth be told, the hotel was so good we didn’t venture far over the 3 days, instead opting to just “relax” at the hotel walking the beach or sitting outside at the gas fires taking in the ambience and the surfers catching the waves. The food and service in the restaurant was amazing, I would even go so far to say it was the best food we’ve had in a long time at a hotel! If having food at the hotel, make sure you book a table at the restaurant before 6pm and maybe even arrive a little early. They will not reserve the window seats, but to get the best view of the sunset over the pacific - trust me, it’s where you want to be sitting. Cocktails were also very good. If getting a snack during the day you can get it at the Surf Club which is a few steps from the main building. After dinner we just retired to the bedroom with the gas fires going, patio doors open and enjoying a bottle of wine while listening to the waves crash on the beach. We didn’t do breakfast at the hotel any of the mornings as we wanted something “light” opting instead for the delights from the cafe & bakery Tofitian just a few minutes up the road. As an “experience”, it was hands down one of the best hotels I’ve visited in Canada/US. The team should be very proud.
"Slice of Paradise"

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary as a family and it was everything. Our room was steps from the beach, the entire resort was warm and inviting, and the food was immaculate. I wish we were able to do the spa but the hot tub in the woods was magical. Most impressive was their clear commitment to the environment 👏
