Tofino Eco Waterfront Condo – Conscious Coastal Living in the Heart of Town
⸻
Welcome to Tofino’s environmentally friendly waterfront accommodation, thoughtfully designed to support both the land and community. This newly renovated bachelor condo proudly donates 1% to the local Tla-o-qui-aht Nation’s Tribal Parks Allies program, helping protect the ecosystems that make this region so special.
Located just next to the downtown core, this bright waterfront suite offers stunning harbour views and is steps to all amenities, shopping, restaurants, and local experiences. It’s an ideal home base to rest, recharge, and reconnect after exploring the ocean, forests, trails, and town.

THE SPACE
At 500 square feet, this spacious bachelor suite is designed with a conscious environmental footprint in mind while still offering comfort and functionality. The layout includes a full kitchen, bathroom, living area, dining space, and sleeping area, all filled with natural light.

Coffee is locally sourced from Tofino Coffee, and hand and dish soap is made locally by Tamara at The Hobbyist.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, food prep utensils and eating utensils. There were even a few containers for leftovers.There was a limited pantry, including olive oil, salt, pepper – the sort of stuff that's essential for cooking, but hard to buy in small enough quantities for a short stay. There was also coffee and some specialty teas – I really appreciated the white tea, since I don't tolerate black tea very well.The place was nice and close to the city core, making it great for getting around on foot.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2023
This tidy condo has a lovely view of the Tofino harbour and is close to downtown. We commend the host for her timely and helpful communications and her commitment to recycling and composting. One comment we have is that the bed is somewhat uncomfortable and the pillows are quite hard.
