We had a lovely time staying at this location. It is very accessible from the ferry terminal and downtown Nanaimo. The rooms are very clean. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, they also prepared a useful instructional booklet for how-to’s and local recommendations. Booking the time for hot tub was very easy as well. Thank you for letting us stay here CJ!

Fabulous getaway!

Our stay was great- location easy to find. We were there 9 nights and had no troubles whatsoever. JC offered some local information for us about the area. We were looking for a relaxing getaway and the suite fit the bill. After sightseeing in the area all day it was nice to come back and have space to relax and make a snack. Would definitely recommend it to anyone I know travelling to that area!
