Tidbits from Tim
Tim Hackett - Owner, Long Beach Lodge Resort
August 2024
I hope everyone has had a great summer and is now looking forward to our wonderful autumn season. As I have written about previously, September is my very favorite month in Tofino! Insiders know that we can still enjoy lovely summer weather, beautiful sunsets, fewer people, and great room rates. It's perfect weather for outdoor activities, including beach walks, surfing, and bike riding through the National Park. September is also an excellent time to pamper yourself, relax, and unwind by visiting our luxurious new Rainforest Spa and enjoying our great food and beverage options, including the SandBar.
Starting in September, we are pleased to offer our returning guests and those arriving for a special occasion a Wine and Appetizer Reception in The Great Room every Thursday at 5 pm. Upon arrival, guests will receive an invitation to the event, where we’ll celebrate together and express our gratitude for their patronage over the years. This will be a great opportunity to meet our General Manager, Trevor, and other senior staff members. We look forward to meeting you—it will be fun!
As we head into fall, we're excited for our renowned traditional Thanksgiving Dinner Feasts in The Great Room. This year, we’re offering our scrumptious Thanksgiving Dinner on both Sunday, October 13, and Monday, October 14. On Monday, when many guests from around the country are having to return home, we’re hosting a special Thanksgiving dinner to thank our local community for hosting visitors all summer long. Guests from near and far are, of course, warmly welcomed to join us on both days. While we are always busy over this holiday weekend and the cottages are all booked, we still have some beachfront Lodge rooms available.
We’ve had a busy year, recently completing a beautiful new staff building, which will offer private rooms to a number of our wonderful staff members. We’ve also finished our new gym, guest laundry, and the Rainforest Spa. We’re especially excited about the new spa; it may have been the one missing link. I didn’t want to build a spa until we were able to hire Lindsay as our manager. Lindsay is an RMT with extensive experience working at Fairmont properties, and she would love to meet you on your next visit.
We would really love to welcome you this fall, perhaps as one of our valued regular visitors or for your first time at the resort.
Best wishes,
Tim
