We had to book this accommodation late because a previous booking cancelled two days before. They did us a big favour because we certainly ended up in a better location. This is a suite in a private house and the host, Yelen, was very welcoming. We had a car so we could get to anywhere we needed to go. Lots of deer on the footpath each day. We had a beautiful balcony that overlooked Nanaimo. Highly recommend.

The property was perfectly located for the old town of Nanaimo and the seafront. The host (Anthea) was rather special. It is clear that she absolutely loves hosting. She was a mind of information about where to eat in Nanaimo and also about the rest of the Island. She couldn’t have been more helpful.

    There was a grocery store a short walk away. The accommodations were a good size and the price was good for the area. Clean bedding and towels. If you're looking for inexpensive, this is it. If you're looking for well-kept, this marginally meets that point.

    Clean and comfortable accommodation. The place had everything we needed and I wish we could have stayed longer! Wayne and Michele provided lots of helpful information to make our stay easy. Lots of small things made our stay very welcoming - when we arrived late at night the place was warm with lights on.
