I stayed in the Haidaway Cabin with 2 friends for 3 nights in September 2011. We chose Gold Coast Retreat because of all the good reviews on TripAdvisor. We knew the cabin would be nice because of all the great reviews but when we arrived it far exceeded our expectations. The cabin was very clean, very private, and had everything... More

My husband and I just celebrated our 7 yr anniversary at the Shipwrecked studio in Tofino. It was a pleasant surprise! A cozy clean private gem with an outdoor shower and clawfoot tub on the deck outside! The bubble bath and sauna were a treat! The owners are wonderful laid back and very accommodating. It was great to be able... More

Just spent 4 nights at the Gold Coast Retreat near Tofino. We chose the Haidaway Cottage which accommodated 2 couples nicely. The cabin had a well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds and luxurious linens, a wonderful outdoor claw-foot tub and use of a wonderful Finnish Sauna which our hosts fired up for us. The setting was very private, just steps away from... More

My husband and I stayed here for a few days during our honeymoon-the first few nights we stayed on Frank Island-which was beautiful but roughing it a little bit.. When we got to the Shipwreck Cabin we were so excited-it was perfect. Quaint but modern and very clean + they have an outside deck with a grill and bathtub! It... More

Great spot, great hosts! If you want privacy and to be close to the ocean this is the place. We stayed here a few years ago and always looked forward to returning, we were not disappointed. Lots of little things to make the stay perfect. Wonderful spot to relax and 'just be'. More

My partner and I have stayed with Sulo and Louise several times over the past 8 years. We have enjoyed our stay every time. The price per night is very reasonable given the close to proximity to Chesterman's beach (you can hear the ocean from the property) and the quaintness of the cabins. The finnish sauna is a must; very... More

The Haidaway Cottage is a perfect getaway! The Golden Coast Retreat property is located less than a 1 minute walk from the beach and ocean. We spent every morning and evening walking along the beach, enjoying the beautiful Tofino scenery. The Cottage has everything we needed - and more! It was clean and had free internet and satellite TV. All... More

This was the first vacation we'd been on with our daughter, who's only 6 months old, and the sweet little Shipwreck cabin at the Gold Coast Retreat was absolutely perfect. The place was clean and cozy. We used the outdoor bathtub every day and enjoyed the close access to Chesterman Beach (we were there for 5 days). The place was... More

Having stayed at several hotels and B&B's in Tofino we were so fortunate to find GCR over ten years ago and have always stayed there since. Both cabins are blissfully quiet and private in a beautiful position just steps from Chesterman beach. More
