This place is religious retreat and not a hotel/motel. It should never be listed on a hotel booking site because it is not a hotel. I was shocked when I arrived to find the room I paid $100 per night for was actually a room in a shared 70's style house with a shared bathroom!! A shared bathroom in a pandemic ! Really! How many health orders does that violate? In addition the shared bathroom on my floor was unusable for 2 days because the toilet was plugged ? With what? By who? I had to use the shared bathroom in the basement of the house. I have a very bad back, going up and downstairs is extremely painful. I tried contacting someone - anyone but got no response. I guess they were too busy walking the labarinth instead of trying care of guests. I tried booking out and going somewhere else but it was Labour Day weekend and nothing was available. This place may function as a religious retreat but it in no way functions as a hotel/motel. It was absolutely shocking!

Excellent value for a hostel-like place with shared bathrooms and common area. Nice & quiet location.

Pros: - Beautiful lakefront property - Kind, friendly staff. - Inexpensive compared to other accommodations. - Clean rooms and bathrooms. Cons: - Despite claiming that they require proof of vaccination, we were not asked once about our vaccination status. It was not clear whether any other guests had been required to show their proof of vaccination either. - Several other "Expedia guests" were loud and extremely inconsiderate about noise in the evening. The rooms are poorly insulated for noise. - Parking was a constant problem. The site was used as a gathering place for non-guests, and we had to park elsewhere twice because non-guests had taken all of the parking places on the property.

Peaceful in beautiful forested setting

Beautiful scenery and neighborhood. Building a bit old

I have no idea why this site defaults to Spanish, lol. Anyway, the place was very nice. Quiet, clean, very peaceful. They hold meetings there some nights, so parking was a bit of a nightmare.

Lovely place located right by the lake and with amazing surroundings to rest. 5 minute Walk to a public beach and 10min drive to downtown Nanaimo. Staff is great! Washrooms are generally shared.

This place offers a hostel type accommodation but with a lock to your own room. Older place but beautiful property. Amenities are simple.

This is a wonderful place, where I shall go for an extended time in the future. "Far from the maddening crowd", close to nature and welcoming. Not your usual kind of lodging found on this website, I loved it!

Good place for staying the night and near the lake. Place was a bit older but room was clean and staff when greeted at main building was friendly.

I was assigned a room in basement. It is risky if you want to use share bathroom

Clean, basic accommodation. Not fancy but the location was good. Nice walk around the lake.

I was pleased with everything...Deborah was so pleasant and accommodating. The Centre grounds were peaceful and quiet at night. Bunnies, birds and deer added to the ambiance.
