POSITION: GENERAL MANAGER Career Lifestyle Balance Inspired by Adventure?
In summer 2017, Tofino Resort + Marina opened its doors following a new ownership investment of $10 million, resulting in a full renovation and rebrand. Inspired by adventure, Tofino Resort + Marina is perfectly positioned just a short walk from the charm and culinary gems of this flourishing, ocean-side community. The only full-service resort situated downtown, on Tofino Inlet, offers 62 guest rooms with ocean views, balconies, stylish décor & wall photography wraps by Jeremy Koreski. We also own and operate Tofino’s largest private marina offering moorage for pleasure craft & yachts up to 130’ along with our onsite Marine Adventure Centre which offers bear & whale watching tours, fishing, hot spring tours, paddle boarding, free diving and our onsite public fitness centre Tuff Fit. Two waterfront dining experiences complete the property: 1909 Kitchen with a Pacific-inspired, ingredient-driven menu; and The Hatch Waterfront Pub, a laid-back meeting place offering traditional pub food with fresh, local ingredients, both with 2019 Top Chef Canada winner Chef Paul Moran at the helm.
