My grand daughter particularly loved the wonderful garden – a magical place. Bear watching, biking and just wondering around. Hopefully we will get the opportunity to return to this superb place. My son could not have chosen a more lovely place for his beach wedding - The purpose of our trip.

Janice and Michael,

You have made such a fabulous vacation spot at Thigh-na. The woodwork, landscaping, shell bathroom, home décor- All create such a warm peaceful abode. Your hospitality and kindness top it all off. As I now know that Tigh-na is Gaelic, I can think of nothing more than my thought while sitting at the mudflats shortly after sunrise watching the birds and crab boats – “Is saol breá é”

If anyone would ask me where our best holiday has been – our answer would be TIGH-NA-CLAYOQUOT, Tofino. Your house and surroundings were more than we could ever dream of. And we were lucky on all our trips which were Bear Watching in the rain, Whale watching – we recommend “Jamie”, and a beautiful trip to the Hot Springs where we saw four grey whales.

Living here must be the closest place on Earth to Heaven. Written from a person who has travelled a lot around the world.. Your family house is good for children.

Thanksgiving in Tofino! The five of us took a jump across the Island – twisting along the road from Port Alberni and spilling out onto the flats at the Ucluelet/Tofino turnoff. This was a good place to be. It had been five years since we had been here and the changes in the village are truly surprising. The kids got out to surf and we all put together a big dinner.

Thank you for building this place.
