Affectionately known as the Wick Inn, this resort is a nature lover’s paradise.

It’s hard to think of a more spectacular setting than that of Tofino’s 'Wick Inn'. Sitting on the rocky west coast of the Esowista Peninsula on the edge of the Pacific, it overlooks the often beautifully-deserted Chesterman Beach and is almost completely surrounded by the forest. It feels as if you're perched at the edge of the world. As you would expect, the Inn really makes the most of its surroundings.

This stunning stretch of coast Tofino is at its busiest during the summer months; however, winter storm watching is a serious business here and the Wick is the front-row seat. Get yourself a hot chocolate, get cosy by your room's fireplace and watch as rollers crash over the rocks. This is mother nature at her wildest.

The Point Restaurant is a delightful space which has 240-degree of the Pacific Ocean. The menu is focused on West Coast dishes – think sea food and succlenet meat dishes – created with fresh and locally-sourced produce. Make sure you save a bit of space following your main course as the dessert menu here is very well thought of.

Painter’s Lodge, sitting prettily on the banks of the Campbell River, stands ready to whisk wannabe fishers (and their more experienced counterparts) to catch Canada’s world-famous salmon. But there’s much more to this riverside beauty beside a good catch.

The Coast Discovery Inn is in a prime jumping-off location for adventures around Campbell River and beyond. It’s a top choice when you know that you’ll spend most of your time out and about in the wilderness of Vancouver Island.
