About this property
Halfmoon Cottage I Nature Escape I Hot Tub I Pets
HALFMOON COTTAGE at Florencia Bay Reterat is self-catering and privately located on a 2.4 acre old growth forested property bordering Pacific Rim National Park, within walking distance of Florencia Bay and Halfmoon Bay via the Willowbrae Trail. This is a place to unplug and reconnect with nature and decompress from the busyness of life.
All windows frame in the beautiful old growth forest, making this cottage very peaceful. Featuring a beautifully hand crafted log staircase leading up to an open loft bedroom with a queen bed. The cozy living room has a queen size pullout couch that sleeps 2 comfortably. There is a private hot tub nestled in tall cedars & hemlocks. Halfmoon has a double slipper clawfoot tub (for 2), a stand up shower, antique-finish hardwood floors, cast iron fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling picture windows offering great views of the rainforest from all rooms.
About 5 minutes from the town of Ucluelet and a nice coastal drive to the world renowned beaches in the Pacific Rim National Park and the town of Tofino.

We had a lovely few day stay in the halfmoon cottage in Florencia Bay cottages. The cabin was private and cozy with a full kitchen and a hot tub making our stay very enjoyable, the two of us and our dog Jake were able to relax and make ourselves at home. The TofinoVR staff had great communication from the moment we booked until we were on our way back home.
We will stay here again.

Perfect Westcoast chill experience
My wife and I have stayed at TVR Flo Bay Retreat twice, and both times have been absolutely perfect. The pictures online hardly capture the beautiful and private forested surroundings. Can't wait to come back.

Quiet and comfortable stay!
Easy to feel at home here! This stay was very enjoyable for my 3 person family and our dog - non-fussy, quality amenities and gorgeous wood cabin. The rain didn't matter, we enjoyed the hot tub and easy walking through the rainforest nearby. Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Lovely cottage with ample space and great amenities, in a wonderful part of the world. 10 out of 10, would definitely go back :)
It was a wonderful way to spend our 50th anniversary. We cooked all our own meals, cozied up by the fireplace, enjoyed the hot tub, while our two dogs were content to lay on the deck. A very sweet little cabin that was perfect for us.
We had an amazing stay at this cabin tucked into the beautiful Ucluelet rainforest. The cabin itself is stunning and was exactly what we wanted for our getaway. The location is great - a short walk to the trailhead that leads to Florencia and Halfmoon Bays, 10min drive to Ucluelet, half an hour to Tofino. We will definitely be coming to stay again!

Exceptional stay
The property is always spotless, beautiful and so peaceful. This was our 2nd stay and it was as amazing if not even better. The exceptional TVR staff go above and beyond to ensure your comfort and happiness at their locations! I will continue to book through them. Truly a gem in the woods, while being a quick drive to everything you beed/want! I love how support for local businesses is always evident and the best.

Love this cabin!
We just recently spent three nights in the Halfmoon Cottage and absolutely loved it! The cabin is incredibly comfortable. Spacious while still giving that cozy cabin feel. The hot tub was absolutely glorious particularly after getting drenched in the rain while out exploring. The furniture is sooo comfortable, perfect for curling up and reading while the fire gets the cabin toasty warm. L
This was our second year spending part of spring break in Ucluelet at Half Moon Bay cottage. We absolutely love this area, the cabin included. This cabin is perfect for a couple or a family with one or two small children. If/when we return to the area, we will likely upgrade to a larger space with two bedrooms— hopefully with the same rental/property management group. The folks at Tofino Vacation Rentals are super responsive and kind. Great hosts!
Beautiful log cabin in a private and quiet location. Well-equipped kitchen and barbeque to be able to cook and bake "at home". Roomy yet cozy. Large TV with multiple streaming services. Huge bathtub indoors and jetted hot tub outdoors!
We’re sold. We’re sold on the peace and quiet that Ucluelet and the surrounding forests and beaches offer. We’re also sold on this cabin…views of nothing but forest, sounds that were all nature. We don’t have one complaint about our stay and will absolutely be back again. The cabin as it is is wonderful and then you add the little details: Salt spring soap products, a beer waiting for us. And, communication with the property management was seamless from start to finish. Wow, just wow.
Was perfect for what I wanted out of the vacay- a quiet place to contemplate, relax, enjoy nature and have a hot tub. It’s only 5min away from Ucluelet and about 30 to Tofino and both drives are easy and scenic. The cabin itself is exactly like it’s pictured. Only issue was that it had tons of spider webs when I got there and some dust, so looked like parts of the cabin hadn’t been touched/cleaned in awhile. It’s around the corner from a couple really nice trails to beaches/coves that were good for the dog and I to walk to (however, if you have an old dog like mine who can’t do stairs, be prepared, you’ll need to carry them then!).
Overall would 100% stay again and hope to be back in the future with my partner. This time it was the dog and I and it was the perfect spot to sit, unwind, unplug and enjoy all that the area and nature has to offer.

Fabulous!
Great place to stay! Peaceful, private, and the walk to Half Moon Bay was lovely. Would recommend!
Stunning forest and cottage and close to wonderful hikes. We really enjoyed it and it met our expectations, we would definitely come back and will tell our friends/family. Thank you
We had a lovely stay at the half-moon cottage! It was a great place to relax after much adventuring. Very private and cozy. 10/10 would stay again and highly recommend it!
The cabin was so cozy, it was exactly what we were looking for. The bed and linens were very comfortable and the cabin was well stocked. We loved how private the cabin was. We’re already planning next year’s trip.
