Check In:April 17
Cabin: Small
Price: $150 Night
First off, Tofino is one of the most beautiful places in the world. This resort is right off the beach. The magnificent sea and sounds of the crashing waves are only steps away.
Being from Vancouver, Tofino is a regular weekend getaway for me. I think this rustic resort is a great deal. People are friendly, cabin is comfortable, and the view speaks for itself. I came with a few friends to surf and hang out in town for dinner and drinks.
The cabin has a small kitchen to arrange snacks and light meals (bigger cabins are available). It has a microwave, toaster, fridge and stove. It was furnished many years ago, and the decor is plain tho maintained very well and very clean. I'm so picky about that stuff. It does the trick! I'm very happy here. The view is spectacular as you can see in my pictures I uploaded, it rained this weekend tho still wonderful. They have a saying here in Tofino... " If you don't like the weather, wait twenty minutes!" How true :)
It a six minute walk to a place where they have a coffee shop, surf rentals, small grocery store, and amazing taco truck and the best fish and chips and fish tacos I've ever had in B.C. There is also laundry, pay phones, and board games to borrow at the resort. There's lots of grass and picnic tables around as well. You can't find cheaper on the beach unless your camping or seriously downgrading in quality of cabin. I'd say this place is good for couples, surfers and family.. I'm in my late twenties here with a few friends and it's perfect for what we want. -

I enjoyed the stay at Ocean Village in March 2011. The location is fantastic because you are steps away from the beach. We were staying in the lower studio. If you plan on using the kitchen, you might want to bring your own dish washing sponge. The dish washing sponge that was available in our unit was a bit too dirty. The dish rack was also not very clean so we opted to dry our dishes on the towels provided to us.
This resort is very pet friendly. My dog had a lovely time running on the beach and meeting other dogs. The resort also gives you a dog bowl to use, some milk bones and a doggy bag.
The kitchen could use a fan above the stove and the washroom could use a fan as well.
The WiFi is mostly slow during the evening, probably due to high number of users. In the morning or during the day, the speed was acceptable.
The swimming pool and hot tubs were good. The staff was friendly.
I would come back to this resort if I decide to visit Tofino again. -

Excellent experience at the OVBR. VERY pet friendly; as a matter of fact we had two dog bowls, dog towels and some doggie treats waiting in our cabin and based on the number of dogs we saw around the property I would be surprised if any of the guests at the time didn't have one with them. Each cabin has it's own parking spot and there is an indoor pool and hottub for use when it's raining. The service upfront was really good as well. Cabins have nice clean bathrooms, separate bedrooms, and teeny but fully equipped kitchens as well.
I would definitely recommend OVBR.
Winter price $150/night
Summer price $200/night (around that)
Pet fee $20/night -

Great place to stay, nothing fancy, but when in Tofino there is too much outside to worry about the inside of your accommodations. The loft we had was clean and small, but perfect for us. Kitchen unit and patio with ocean view, cant be beat.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price cant be beat. The only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars is that is isnt walking distance to any pubs, surfing beaches or hiking trails. However, it is a 5 minute drive to downtown Tofino, so its in a great spot. Good beach out front so it was a great experience.
Although we didnt have any, it did look pet and kid friendly. -

I *heart* Tofino. The first time we visited, we stayed near its harbour. This time, we opted for one of the resorts along Mackenzie Beach. The Ocean Village Beach Resort is located right on Mackenzie Beach.
We went to sleep listening to the ocean and woke up listening to the ocean - sharp contrast to the sounds we endure living in Yaletown off the Cambie Bridge.
The cabin was comfortable and boasted a beautiful view of Mackenzie Beach.
I was a little disappointed that our porch light had burnt out prior to our check-in time and no one came to fix it... we were offered another cottage, but it was late and we didn't want to pack up everything and everyone and move to another cottage. Despite this, we would happily stay at the Ocean Village Beach Resort again! :) -

GREAT spot. You can't get accomodation this close to the beach any cheaper. Cabins are kinda rustic but really clean, staff are helpful, and they allow dogs.
I'm docking one star only because when staying in a studio cabin, I thought that meant we'd get our OWN cabin, not have somebody above us (this is not especially clear on the website). And by somebody, I mean elephants. The sound really travels in there. Next time I'll definitely bite the bullet and pay a little extra for a one-bedroom cabin.
