Tasteful, peaceful, comfortable. The building and suite were well appointed, providing everything we needed. Check in was seamless and the host walked us over and provided all the information we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Cobble hill again.

The pictures used in the listing for this motel grossly over represent what you will actually stay in. We ended up with a dodgy room that was extremely hot, with no thermostat or temperature control, and no screens in the window so even if you felt okay to have the window open, you’d be prone to bugs entering the room.

The location was amazing. However, dishes and towels need to be updated. Dishes were chipped and towels had holes in them. We couldnt sleep because the fridge and house pipes were too loud. The room wasnt the cleanest and could use some more vacuuming.

Adequate and comfortable place to stay
This was an adequate and quiet place to stay with some distance to get to the beaches or food offerings. Things are within walkable distances in most cases, but was better accessed with a vehicle. Not much housekeeping service was provided during our stay, which could have been better, but the room was adequately clean on arrival with the exception of the shower curtain (could use some scrubbing). It was a comfortable stay. The operator is friendly and responds very rapidly to any needs or questions. I wasn't disappointed by my choice to stay here.

Property well built and spacious but with the studio you slept in effect in the kitchen with all the noise of the appliances at night. Being on ground floor the guests upstairs made for a very disrupted late evening and night. Very disappointing for us all round. We should have chosen a more appropriate stay.

Suite was spacious and comfortable. It was so nice to have a kitchen but you need to buy everything if you plan on much cooking. There were coffee filters, salt and pepper...sugar packets and I think coffee. We had to request paper towels plus there was only one bar of bath soap in a unit with two bedrooms with four people. Generally we’ve had a little more to work with like an extra garbage bag (there was only one in the small garbage container which we quickly filled after cooking), some foil or Saran Wrap, etc. Plenty of pots and pans, dishes, etc. Overall it was a pleasant stay, just be prepared to bring a lot of supplies for cooking.

Nice property close to Mackenzie Beach
Stayed in the Heron Suite which was a wonderful large open concept unit with a great kitchen, living room, dining room and portioned off bedroom. The staff were friendly and helpful. However, this unit can be very noisy. At 6:30 am the people upstairs were pushing the chairs from the table all around and it sounded like they were stomping all over the place. The next night another group of people came in at 10pm and were very loud laughing, yelling and partying for a few hours. In another unit a baby was crying and seemed to wake at 3-4am. Therefore we did not sleep well during our 3 night stay. Besides the noise, the place was large, clean, friendly and a good location only a few minutes drive to the beach or 10 min walk and 5 min drive into Tofino.

Sehr schönes Haus mit mehreren Unterkünften, wir waren im Erdgeschoss, mit funktionaler Küche großem Kühlschrank gutem TV Gerät sowie gutem kostenlosem Internet. Der große Schwachpunkt ist aber das Haus ist SEHR Hellhörig. Man hört fast jeden Schritt und Sessel herumschieben, das liegt natürlich teilweise an rücksichtslosen anderen Gästen aber auch an der Bauweise des Hauses.
