This was a lovely, quiet, clean, comfortable place to stay.
5.0
We loved our stay here! The unit is decorated in beautiful wood furniture, cozy recliner couches, and an extremely comfortable bed in the master bedroom! It was very spacious for our little family, has TONS of storage, and the pull down bed in the utility room was an added bonus. The kitchen was large and fully equipped, and the very private deck was so nice to use. I just wish we could have stayed longer, and we certainly won’t hesitate to book here again. 10/10!

Wonderfully clean, and well-equipped. Large rooms, good parking, great TV with lots of channels. The location is north of the city, and the cottage is somewhat dark, otherwise all was OK.

The guest house was very clean and such a lovely and relaxing spot to stay after long days exploring the beautiful island scenery. The boys were wishing this home away from home could be ours for much longer!

My stay at this VRBO property was absolutely fantastic! The house was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished, with modern amenities that made my stay comfortable and needing nothing. The location was ideal, and situated in a nice, quiet neighborhood.
Joanne and Bryan were extremely attentive and welcoming, ensuring that I had everything I needed for a memorable stay. I especially enjoyed the outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying morning coffee; I even did some meal prep out there one morning.
I can assure you, all the other reviews are accurate as well, and I recommend staying in this gem of a guest house, without any hesitation. Can’t wait to return.

Great spot and friendly hosts, enjoyed our stay.

The property seemed brand new and fulfilled all of our expectations. We had a wonderful stay. The only very small challenge was water temperature control in the shower. Took some time to get warm and then all of a sudden it got ice cold. Very minor issue.
5.0
We were welcomed by the hosts when we arrived and they immediately felt like our friends. Thank you for the chats in the yard and the bonus glasses of wine.
The guest house is equipped with everything you need and the private back deck is lovely to sip coffee on in the morning. The bed is very comfy too.
Our main purpose was to watch our son play baseball at Serauxmen Stadium. The location was perfect for that and pretty much 10-15 minutes away from all things Nanaimo.
We would not hesitate to recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

Everything was as good as we could have hoped for and better. We were in Nanaimo for several days to watch the BC HIgh School Track Championships where our granddaughter was competing. The location was excellent, the hosts were fantastic and the accommodation was perfect! It was so nice to spend time on the private patio at the end of each day. We will stay again if we are ever back in Nanaimo!
