    Laundry Access for Extended Stays during winter season ONLY: For guests staying 7 nights or longer, we may be able to offer access to an on-site washer and dryer during our quieter season, from November 1 through March 31. Laundry access is available only on select days and must be arranged in advance. If you're planning an extended stay and would like to use this option, please reach out to us before your arrival to inquire about availability. Please note that laundry facilities are not available for guest use from April 1 through October 31.***For guests who require laundry facilities outside these dates or during shorter stays, there is a local laundromat available in town.



    ***On-Site Caretaker Suite – Tofino Bylaw: Please note that, in accordance with Tofino Bylaws for licensed vacation rentals, a long-term tenant resides on the property in a separate caretaker suite. This requirement helps support the local community by ensuring that long-term housing remains available for people who live and work in Tofino. Guests have full and private access to the entire vacation rental they have booked. The only shared area is the driveway/parking area. The caretaker has their own separate living space, so guests can still enjoy the privacy and comfort of the vacation rental throughout their stay.



    Additional Notes:

    Please note that there is no washing machine or dryer available for guest use at this property.

    For group bookings (up to 6 guests), consider booking the Crow’s Nest Suite (sleeps 2) — located on the same property

The kitchen was really well equipped. Food professionals, we really appreciated the breadth of the equipment. All appliances worked well. 200 steps from the ocean - one of our must-haves, walk out the door and just keep walking! Location and home were super quiet - lovely to "come home" to.

The Anchor was lovely and seriously located across from the entry to Chesterman beach. We loved every thing about it and the hosts thought of everything you need including a couple welcome items. I loved the Lavender Eucalyptus cream/soqp/shampoo and conditioner all from Salt Spring. We will definitely return!

The perfect family getaway

This place is an absolute gem! We came out with our one year old and dog for a week and had all the space and amenities we needed to keep the place clean and comfortable for a seven day stay. The breezeway was the perfect place to store our wet boots, Thule chariot and hiking backpack, while the outdoor shower came in super handy when it came to rising off sandy boots, clothes and specifically dogs! The wood fire place kept the place cozy and warm while drying out our wet clothes for the next stormy walk, while the covered hot tub was just what we needed morning and afternoon. Beds were super comfortable, the kitchen / house in general is stocked with literally anything you could possibly need and the host is super responsive. We will for sure be back.
