great views, great service
“Tin Wis looks over Mackenzie Beach just outside Tofino and every room has a window wall facing the ocean. With the sliding door open, the sound of the waves at night is hypnotic; and the afternoon sun and sunset make sitting on the small patio a transcendent experience, even in late October. The Long Beach area is a hiker’s dream and, after a day walking the beaches and trails, Tin Wis is a welcoming and elegant destination.”
