Tidbits from Tim

Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort


January 2024

I hope that you have had a wonderful holiday season, celebrating with family and friends. It is amazing, after all the preparation, how quickly the season comes and goes!
 
I am always so grateful for the good fortune to be living in such a wonderful place on earth. This year again, I think about all the men, women, and children living terrible lives currently in distant places. It is a great privilege to welcome and assist people arriving in Canada to start a new life, including some wonderful young people coming to our resort.

It is interesting that after some beautiful fall beach weather, we are now suddenly into storm season! In December, we have already experienced some furious winter storms. 
  Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort

Several storms have been so severe that the District of Tofino has had to close the beaches, fearing for people's safety. The power of a winter storm is a sight to behold. The Lodge, built so close to the open ocean, is Tofino’s premier location to observe what nature can throw at us. Again this winter, we hope a storm will not wash the Lodge away!
 
In addition to our other specials, I wish to announce a special, close to my heart. February is Pet Appreciation Month. We really love our VIP (Very Important Pets) so much that we have decided, in consultation with my pup Maisy, to dedicate a month to celebrate them. Bring your four-legged family member with you and enjoy some unique touches catered especially for them:
 
  • Pets stay for free in February.
  • Pet photo shoot, date to be announced. 
  • Special treats for our furry friends.
  • Shopping at our Gift Shop for specials for your pup.
We are a proud supporter of the Care Network, a nonprofit organization on the west coast supporting animal rescue and outreach. For every dog that visits during February, we will contribute $50 on their behalf to the Care Network.
 
I wish the very best to everyone for the New Year. May you enjoy good health, inner peace, and joy.

"Outstanding Employees"
2025-03-20
Everyone goes to Tofino for the beach and the Long Beach Lodge Resort is in the perfect location. The employee services are outstanding, from the moment you check in, to passing employees in the hallway, to the fabulous service by Natalia in the Great Room. Chatting with Matt from maintenance we could hear the pride in his voice for the work he does and for the work his coworkers do to ensure a memorable stay for all guests. The entire stay was a positive experience, even the rain and wind on our last day couldn't dampen it down. We only had to ask for the fire pit to be lit and within minutes Ekaterina from the front desk was doing that for us to sit and enjoy the sound of the waves late into the evening. Already looking forward to returning to the Long Beach Lodge Resort.
"I want to gatekeep this so bad"

Like the title says. My partner and I LOVED our experience at the lodge and can’t wait to go again, this time for at least one more night. The soaker tub was amazing, the view (partial ocean view) was beautiful, and we loved every minute of it. Also the Great Room serves a wonderful breakfast and incredible dinner.
"Magical"
2025-01-20
My husband and I stayed at the Lodge for three nights, celebrating my husband’s birthday. We splurged on the penthouse room and it was worth it. The room is updated beautifully and the bottle of cider and chocolate truffles welcoming us upon arrival were super sweet. The view from the room is spectacular and we enjoyed the amazing sunsets from our balcony. We had a dinner at the Great room and it didn’t disappoint. The staff was very friendly and the food was superb. The restaurant room is overlooking the Cox Bay beach and we enjoyed our breakfasts there as well and then went for a beach walk right outside the lodge. We have not used the sauna or the hot tub or the spa but they did look tempting. Maybe next time. This place is a wonderful oasis on the west coast. Highly recommended!
