Calme. Propre. Une vue imprenable. 10 sur 10 !!!

We have booked a room for one night. The room and the washroom were really clean. In addition the view is breathtaking but the location is far from Nanaimo so you'll need a car. This is advertised as a Bed and Breakfast but the breakfast is not included (!) and you will be sharing your room in the apartment with the owner (and his family) so it is more a room in a family's home. The owner and its family were not really hospitable and it was noisy at night / early morning. There is no private entrance so privacy is not guaranteed.

A wonderfully quiet B&B with an absolutely stunning view. A family lives there full-time, but they were so unobtrusive it was like we had the place to ourselves. The room was very clean, with all the amenities we expected from a quality B&B.

If you decide to visit, it would be advisable to have a vehicle. If you arrive at the municipal airport in Nanaimo, it's a good half hour drive to the B&B ( around $60 CDN). The local ride-share (Uride) were our lifelines to the islands attractions. I would recommend them, the drivers are prompt, courteous and friendly. Skip the Dishes were also our lifeline to sustenance. Kudos to these businesses.

If you like stunning sunrises/sunsets, soaring golden eagles and grazing deer, views of the Rockies and the Lower Mainland. This is the place for you.

Big suite with decent accoutrements. Host was polite and efficient. Easy parking. The deck was sectioned off, but not private exactly. The view was the thing. Unreal view.

I booked it for Nanaimo women’s golf tournament in 2025. It is a great view for visitors. I want to do again there.

The suite we stayed in was very clean and comfortable with a great view as it was located high up on the hill. We enjoyed the view of the sea from the balcony. We even spotted a deer strolling between backyards. However, as the family live and rent few rooms on the property, we did not like the lack of privacy as our balcony was the pathway for the guests in the suite next to us. ( the photo you see of the property is for the family home that you might or might not get to stay in) and they did have some rules that could be hard to follow when you’re on vacation, like using the washer and dryer is only between 8 am and 8 pm, Quite time after 10 pm, and bed and breakfast means you inform them ahead of time that you need breakfast for the price of $10 per person per serving.

Outstanding views from balcony, bedroom and bathroom and very nice room. We spent the evening on the balcony, enjoying the view which is absolutely stunning. We spotted some eagles from there, our host told us sometimes they even spot whales. Huge room, spacious and we'll appointed bathroom, and copious glasses, plates etc provided. More of an airbnb than a b&b vibe. The decorations were not really our preferred style but the size and view made up for it.

Good location fairly near to the Nanaimo ferry terminal. Price was excellent relative to the room quality and size. The view was fantastic, and the service was good. Our suite included laundry, tea/coffee, a nice sized tv. Couldn't ask for more!
