…enjoyed the yoga deck and some quiet time

We had a lovely stay in your piece of paradise. Tofino was wonderful! We went to the hot springs, kayaked, biked the beach and ate and drank at Tacofino, the Mac and the distillery. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen and had some lovely meals right here. I enjoyed the yoga deck and enjoyed some quiet time on the deck reading the photo book. Truly enjoyed “the journey” and let the peacefulness seep into my “marrow”.

Tidepooling and sunsets at Chesterman Beach, watching the whale blows

We had an amazing time during our extended stay in Tofino. Tidepooling and sunsets at Chesterman Beach, watching the whale blows, exploring, shopping and eating our way around the area.

Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. Our stay was perfect in every way, from fantastic meals (SoBo, Wolf in the Fog, Shelter and Jeju – some of our favourites) to walks and excursions. We were incredibly fortunate to see some breathtaking wildlife including black bears, whales, sea lions, seals and much more. It really has been an INCREDIBLE few days in paradise. Your cottage could not be more tranquil, serene or beautiful and is impeccably clean and well serviced! We are already planning our next trip from across the pond.

Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful place. Our party of six enjoyed our time and we slept very well. The house is beautiful and we had a comfortable stay. We were able to do multiple hikes here in Tofino and Ucluelet and enjoyed being able to walk to Chesterman’s beach to catch the evening sunset. Hoping to get the chance to stay here again. Thank you!

“Proximity to Chesterman beach, and on-demand hot water.”

Tofino Hummingbird Cottage has been a wonderful place for us old friends to play, eat and celebrate birthdays. We love how light and bright the cottage is. Never had such a well appointed kitchen – with maple syrup! And rubber gloves! The proximity to Chesterman Beach is ideal. he on-demand hot water served three showers at once after we returned from boogie boarding. When we needed heat the fireplace warmed the living room effectively. The care that has been taken to provide good quality furnishings, crockery, etc. creates an extremely comfortable ambience.

“Access to the beach was amazing.”

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Tofino Hummingbird Cottage. It was a very special vacation for our family – it was the first time we’d seen eachother in two years.

Thank you so much for one of our best stays ever in Tofino. Your tranquil, beautiful and charming cabin made for the most incredible memories filled with lots of love, laughter and relaxation. From the cheery colour (yellow – my favourite) to the kitchen that is better equipped than our own home, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We loved it here and can’t wait to come back. Thanks for everything.

” …this was the reatreat I needed. There’s just something special about it”

I stayed at Tofino Hummingbird Cottage this summer and the entire experience was four days of bliss. Vivienne has looked after everything to help her guests relax, from the silk organic sheets to the comfy, stylish furnishings to the sotting quality of the lighting in the cottage. The cottage is simply gorgeous and feel so serene and comforting. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds in the morning and strolling with my coffee just across the read to that incredible expanse of Chesterman Beach. So beautiful! The cottae kitchen was a dream, and we would have been tempted to stay in and cook each night, but we did visit a few wonderful local restaurants, including Wolf in the Fog, just a short drive away. When I come back to Tofino (and I definitely will!) I will thank my lucky stars if Tofino Hummingbird Cottage is available because this was the retreat I needed. There’s just something special about it.

“…nicest home away from home – to unwind from the busyness of life.”

This was just what we needed, the perfect place to get away as a group of friends. The Tofino Hummingbird Cottage is beautifully designed and is the nicest home away from home spot. Thank you for creating a space where people can come and enjoy the simple things like making meals together and playing games into the night. The space is inviting and warm to unwind from the business of life.

” icing on the cake. What a hidden gem!”

Tofino is always awesome but The Hummingbird Cottage was the icing on the cake. What a hidden gem! Amazing location and thoughtful design to make the perfect getaway for those seeking “Serenity by the Sea”. It was the perfect place to spend time with our family for a much needed getaway from the busyness of our lives especially this summer. We appreciate you opening up your home to others to share… surfing, great meals, beach fires, long walks, biking, laughs… and a ton of memories!

” …freaking awesome. Sunsets over cocktails.”

We had the best time! The Tofino Hummingbird Cottage has been an absolute treat! This space is relaxing, cozy, and so freaking awesome. Our nightly jaunt to Chesterman, to watch sunsets over cocktails. And that fireplace (heart, heart, heart). We had many nights (and mornings) warming up together by the fire. We hope we can make Tofino and the Hummingbird an annual occurrence. We loved every minute – especially being able to cook in such a beauty kitchen! Thanks for everything.

…one of the most amazing retreats… in 40 years coming to Tofino.

Love Tofino Hummingbird Cottage! You have thought of everything, from the plush towels to the labels to the blankets. We have been coming to Tofino for almost 40 years and you have one of the most amazing retreats we have stayed in! We did a day trip with Mike White of Browning Pass Charters through the calm waters out to Cannery Bay for smokies and a swim where the ocean meets the river. Ate at Wildside Grill, Tacofino, Rhino, Roar, Long Beach Lounge, Tough City, Shelter, Soul, Toki Doki, The Tofitian, Chocolate Tofino and always… The Schooner. And a delicious board from Picnic Charcuterie. Thank you for sharing your space!

We stayed at the Hummingbird Cottage for a week in mid-August and would’ve liked to stay longer. The cottage was perfect for our family with just a short walk to Chesterman beach. Very comfortable beds, beautifully designed and the most wonderful host we’ve ever had at a rental accommodation- Vivienne was able to help us with all of our needs. Will definitely visit again!

We stayed at Tofino Hummingbird cottage for a long weekend at end of July and had a lovely and relaxing time! The cottage is perfectly located, fully equipped and beautifully designed so that you could only need to think about relaxed mg and enjoying the beautiful Chesterman beach. Being so close, one can witness the beauty of the beach at all times of day and night! Our guest - Vivienne - was thoughtful and … invisible! We appreciated the little thoughtful details to make us feel welcome and taken care of.

Our family rented Tofino Hummingbird Cottage for 4 nights at the end of August. We were incredibly impressed. The location is outstanding - truly a one-minute walk to Chesterman Beach. The home itself is well-built with quality appliances, beds and amenities. We mainly cooked and were pleased with how well the kitchen was outfitted. The kids loved the outdoor shower to rinse off from surfing. We also want to give a shout out to Roar restaurant at Hotel Zed, which is within walking distance of the cottage. One of best meal experiences yet. We will be back to enjoy this corner of the world.

A truly Spectacular visit at Tofino Hummingbird Cottage. Vivienne is such a kind, gracious and accomodating host. The cottage is so peaceful and a true healing space. I enjoyed my time as a solo traveler and would also be perfect for a group retreat! The kitchen had everything you need! The location could not be any more perfect and really enjoyed listening to the birds sing in the morning. A great place to surf or watch the sunset just across the street from Chesterman's Beach. The cottage was so clean and comfortable. I hope to be back and enjoy magical Tofino! Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

This place was amazing. My wife and I visited in Feb2020 and had terrific time. The owner has gone to great lengths to ensure all the small details were taken care. You're minutes to the beach that goes on forever and close to town and restaurants/shopping. It's truly an oasis in Tofino. I can assure you that we will be back!
