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 โbed and breakfastโ but should be โbed and optional (for a fee) breakfastโ. We also felt a bit uncomfortable in our bedroom being adjacent to our hostโs 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.
We arrived pretty late for check-in, around midnight, but the host was friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and clean and the view from the balcony was absolutely stunning!
We had the best experience ever! The view was so beautiful, our rooms were amazing, so nice and clean.
We spent only three nights there, but I wish it would be three years. We will definitely return and enjoy more.
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 Iโve been to before. Only one minor disadvantage, for our room, we shared the entrance with the B&B owner.
There were several rooms available, part of a large house at the top of a hill in Nanaimo.
