Harold and Melody Sadler
Between sandy Pacific Ocean beaches and the village of Tofino, our custom residence is a central "home base" for families and couples visiting Vancouver Island. Our family owned-and-operated guest house is at the edge of quiet, low-density residential area. We border the The Naa’Waya’Sum Gardens (Formerly The Tofino Botanical Gardens) on our north side, our own 60 foot cedar trees to the west, a quiet neighbour to the south, and view the edge of an 80-acre forest preserve and bird sanctuary across the street to the east. From our front porch, we frequently sight blue herons on the treetops, and bald eagles & osprey soaring above. Black bears, raccoons, and other wildlife are often close at hand. Up on "Summer Hill", enjoy cook-outs close to "home" at the picnic table (BBQ & crab cooker available) and stone fire-pit. Great for hot dogs, star watching on clear nights, and soaking up the sun on a warm day. DOT BL#20240272
Harold's parents moved the family to Tofino in the mid sixties for work and surfing opportunities, his parents being among the first surfers in Canada. Harold and Melody built the house in 1997 and put on an addition in 2007. They have raised 3 sons here and have enjoyed hosting visitors to the area since 1999.
From our .7 acre property, we are just minutes away from MacKenzie's and Chesterman's Beach, and 3km south of central Tofino. Also, whale watching, bear watching, fishing, kayaking, diving, a natural hot springs, Meares’ Island, helicopter, and float-plane chartered tours are available from town. On a nearby cycling/walking path, stroll to beaches, world-class restaurants, unique shopping, bicycle & surf equipment rentals. Drive or take the Tofino Bus 10 minutes south to Long Beach and Pacific Rim National Park: 13 miles of Long Beach, forest walks, nature tours and programs in the Quisitis Interpretive Center. The area also offers surfing, beach combing, bird watching, wilderness hiking, snorkeling, tennis and a golf course.
