Absolutely loved our stay here. Comfortably fit 10 people because the bedrooms and bathrooms are huge !! The view is stunning and so close to shops. The owner was lovely and easy to contact if we needed. Looking forward to my next stay here already.

Upon arriving for our 7 night stay at The Homestead Fitness and Wellness Retreat, we were greeted outside by the staff who cheerfully helped with our luggage, offered delicious snacks and drinks, and gave us an nice informal orientation to the retreat. Throughout the week, the wonderful (and kind) fitness experts motivated us to go-for-it in outdoor activities such as surfing, stand-up paddle, canoeing, cross-fit, and hiking... in all sorts of weather conditions! They were encouraging, knowledgable, and made us all feel safe- and ultimately confident and strong. Indoor activities included yoga (with a backdrop of the Pacific), meditation, and jazz dance (a requested activity by this guest!). We also enjoyed nightly cooking classes by the chef du cuisine. The hot tub with an exquisite view of the Pacific was a welcome reward upon returning to the Homestead after activities each afternoon. The room that I stayed in had that same view of the Pacific cove, one which includes native birds flying overhead and marine life occasionally peeking out from the waves. I happened to luck out and be there during a full moon...incredible to watch from my bed. A most comfortable bed and the sound of the waves outside made sleeping heavenly. (as well as the fact that each day was as active as you wanted it to be). The town of Tofino is quaint and lovely, but also has fantastic boutiques, sport shops, and cafes. I highly recommend The Homestead to anyone who desires a 5star retreat- where nature abounds, and health and adventure (and comfort) are emphasized.

We stayed at the Homestead for a much needed healthy kickstart. The location is extremely beautiful and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The activities were well organized and allowed us to lean back into exercise, nature and cooking. We really liked the staff Bryce, Stephanie and Samantha. They are the real deal and truly live passionately and enthusiastically. We learned a lot from you all - great role models. We thoroughly enjoyed the Tofino area and saw many lovely sites. Thank you for taking such good care of us and I love the loving vibe of Tofino! You are so blessed to live in such a breathtaking part of Canada. Brenda and Vernon 😀 PS Sam - as expected we miss your delicious cooking...:)

I had a fabulous week at the Homestead Tofino. It was pretty rigorous but I surprised myself and rose to each challenge. I had hoped to come away more physically fit and informed about nutrition and cooking, and I was not disappointed by any means. The surprise take away was a new level of confidence in myself that has helped me keep up the momentum and will to be fit and well on all levels. They have great staff and a wonderful facility. The opportunity to get off the tourist path and actually experience this extremely beautiful part of Canada was phenomenal. I would recommend it to anyone. It is worth every penny.

The Rooms were clean and lots of dresser & closet space, Beds were very comfortable. The Property was well kept and had BEAUTIFUL Views. But Most importantly THE STAFF!!! Amazing!!! So Welcoming, warm and friendly. Dylan, Bryce, Lara & Stephanie I cant thank you enough for Everything!!! We were very well taken care of at all times. We went on Hikes, Participated in fitness workouts in a Forest Gym, went Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Surfing, Canoeing, did Yoga, practiced mindfulness, got a massage and slept like baby each night. We had a private chef Lara who was amazing (even for picky eaters like my self) and we always had a full happy belly for all of our activities - she even packed snacks for us to bring with us if we had a busy day away from The Homestead. I am already looking forward to my next visit. I have never done a wellness trip like this before, I knew this would be an adventure and it surpassed all of my expectations.

Just got back from Homestead Tofino (May 2018). One of the most rewarding, enlightening and memorable get-aways I've ever had. The Homestead is a beautiful home away from home where all your needs are taken care of so you can fully relax and engulf yourself in the wonderment that is Tofino.
Beautiful, clean accommodations. Fantastic location and view.
The staff are the best in their field and just all around fantastic people, that quickly become friends.
Personal Chef (Lara) - healthy, delicious meals and snacks that nourish your body and inspire a healthy, clean relationship with food. She always had great tips, helpful advice and cooking lessons too! I think we asked her for every recipe. A hard working, dedicated chef that takes great pride in her dishes. It was a delight to watch her create and even more so to dine at her table.
Pro Outdoor Fitness instructor (Bryce) - customized to your current fitness level and goals. Bryce is so inspiring and motivating, and a great human being to boot. Whether you're looking to kick start your fitness or take your everyday workout to the next level, Bryce can accommodate. The best part... The world around you is your gym and equipment. Brilliant!
Outdoor Eduction Specialist (Dylan) - knows all the best spots, the most jaw dropping hikes and beautiful trails to make the most out of your Tofino time. He enriches your hikes and outings with a true, deep rooted knowledge and respect for the great outdoors, and the history of Tofino. Whether you want a leisurely stroll along a boardwalk in a rainforest, or a half day hike up a mountain that pushes all your limits, Dylan's your man. A super cool person with a fantastic energy and a great sense of humour. This guy is aces all around!
Yoga, massage and mindfulness professional (Stephanie) - a beautiful yoga practice for the body and soul. Whether you're a beginner, limited mobility or an experienced Yogi, Stephanie guides you through rewarding yoga sessions and meditation. She is also a massage therapist. Rounding out the day with a professional massage was just perfection. A pure, gentle spirit with an amazing energy surrounding her. It is truly a blessing to be in her presence.
Surfing, stand up paddle boarding, canoe trips, kayak ... Name your adventure and the staff will ensure its at your finger tips and arranged perfectly for you.
I came home with a whole new relaxed vibe and outlook on each day. You owe it to yourself to be at Homestead Tofino.

Beautiful week of rest, relaxation and quality family time. Room for the whole family! Gorgeous hiking trails right from the homestead. Everything is walking distance. Surf just minutes away and sunsets as beautiful as Georgian Bay! If you are traveling to Tofino this is a great facility.

From beginning to end, from the moment they picked us up from the airport to when they dropped us off our expectations were exceeded. They designed and provided a healthy scrumptious menu, planned and lead beautiful hikes and took us on fun new adventures such as canoeing in a dugout canoe, surfing, and paddle boarding. They actually got my husband to try yoga! Even the cooking lesson from chef David were fascinating to both myself, the cook of the family and my husband the barbecuer. The accommodations were modern, well-kept and comfortable. It was a wonderful week! For a couple in their sixties we had the active vacation of our dreams.
