Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort
  

February 2024

I hope your year is off to a good start and that you may be planning a winter break with us!  As I have mentioned previously, insiders know that the winter is a great time to visit Tofino, walking the beach, enjoying great food and special beverages, and relaxing in front of your cozy fire.

Again this year we are offering our popular "Stay For Three Nights, Pay for Two" special for February and until March 15th. It takes the extra day to really relax! To celebrate Valentine's with your loved one, this year we are not only offering our three-night promotion, but a dinner for two. Stay the extra night if you can.

February is our Pet Appreciation Month. Bring your four-legged family member to visit for free. On their behalf we will donate $50 to the Care Network, a great local organization helping less fortunate animals.

 
   Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort

 As you may be aware, it is with mixed feeling that I announce that after 15 years of service, our General Manager, Samantha Hackett is leaving the resort to become the Executive Director of the Tofino Chamber of Commerce. I believe that this is a good career move for Samantha and I thank her for her years at the lodge. She has brought us and our staff a long way forward under her dedicated management.  Thanks Sam!

 

We hope to see you soon, best wishes,

Tim Hackett
