Beautiful location & view. Unfortunately raining, cloudy & we arrived on a later ferry. All the fault of our own planning. Very clean & comfortable. Shared entry way with family & other guests as described.

Beautiful views and wildlife. Friendly owners.

We had a very short stay here, but Charles was very friendly and accommodating. Easy check in. The view was outstanding and the sunrise gorgeous. You do share a deck with another unit and the guests do walk past your windows. This is sold as a bed and breakfast which in my experience is normally a free breakfast with stay but they charge 10$ per person. However, I would recommend staying here.

The owner was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our room was very comfortable and the view from our private balcony was awesome! We are always on the lookout for whales and this location was perfect. We spotted about 20 separate humpback whales at different times including a few mothers with active, entertaining calves. Putting the whole experience together it was a fantastic bargain.

THE VIEW, the location, and the service and kindness of the owners were all far above what I expected. We felt safe, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family. The huge balcony and the epic view were so special. We watched whales at sunset right from the comfort of our balcony. There are some exterior shared spaces with other guests, but we never even saw anyone else on property. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

Charles is very gracious host. The view from the property is beautiful. The property is advertised as a “bed and breakfast” but should be “bed and optional (for a fee) breakfast”. We also felt a bit uncomfortable in our bedroom being adjacent to our host’s living room and dining room. Our bathroom had a door next to the dining room. We could hear their conversations quite clearly through the door of the bedroom.

Beautifully situated property in Nanaimo. The host was friendly and helpful. The room was amazing as was the bathroom. Both were big, clean, nice, with a breathtaking view on the ocean and coast mountains in mainland BC. The sheets and towels were cleaner and better smelling than any hotel I’ve been to before. Only one minor disadvantage, for our room, we shared the entrance with the B&B owner.
