Aguilar House is a private lodge situated in Bamfield, in the Barkley Sound, northwest of Victoria and south of Tofino. Aguilar House is the ideal destination for fishing, hiking, whale and storm watching, and is perfect for relaxing corporate retreats or romantic getaways. Sitting at the remote northern tip of the famous West Coast Trail, our place would make a great post or pre start destination. The warm pacific current keeps the lodge frost free for the majority of the year.

The main lodge has six bedrooms on the upper level, 7 bathrooms (four with en-suite), totaling ten beds, 5 king sized, 1 queen and four single bunk beds built into the wall of the library room, allowing room for 16 guests – two in each of the rooms except the library room, which sleeps six (1 king + 4 bunks) and is ideal for children. All bathrooms are fully stocked with amenities, including soap, shampoo, and hairdryers, and all beds are dressed with snug linens and comforters. The lodge is equipped with a washer-dryer unit and cleaning supplies if needed.

The main lodge also features a games room with leather couches, a pool table, plasma TV and dart board. The dining table seats 12, and is adjacent to the living room, equipped with lean-back leather chairs and couches, as well as a fireplace and view of the ocean, making it the ideal place to watch the sunset or snuggle up in front of the fire for prime storm watching. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, gas stove, microwave, toaster and coffee machine, stainless steel fridge and wine fridge, and plenty of cookware and silverware. It has an additional breakfast table that can seat six, as well as a high-top bar that can seat three more. The kitchen is also equipped with a pantry, with plenty of space for storing food procured at the Bamfield General Store (a five to ten minute walk from the lodge) or any items brought with you on your journey to the lodge. We recommend stocking up on any specialty items before arriving at the lodge, as while the general store has great variety, it is quite small, and may not be able to provide some more unique items. On the back porch outside the kitchen is a sink station perfect for cleaning your catch, as well as a gas BBQ. Our chef, Luksanna, is available for hire at additional cost upon request depending on availability. This service is charged by the hour plus the cost of the food, paid in cash upon arrival or as requested during your stay. Cleaning is also available for the lodge, charged by the hour and paid in cash upon arrival.

Also included with this beautiful lodge is our stand-alone hilltop cabin of 800 sqft with separate access, full bath, small sitting area, kitchen/cooking facilities, washer/dryer and flat screen TV. Cabin “Raven” has a queen bed on the main floor that sleeps two guests and two trundle beds in the loft for an additional four (great for kids). Cabin “Eagle” is occupied by our onsite staff, Steve & Luksanna to assist you during your stay.

The Raven cabin and the lodge have WiFi throughout and satellite TV.
