Private 1BR Guest Suite in North Nanaimo, a property with a garden, is located in Nanaimo, 12 km from Newcastle Island Marine Park, 13 km from Nanaimo Museum, as well as 29 km from Wildplay Element...

Clean, comfortable, well-organized, and well-stocked. Hosts had thought of so many little details to make our visit comfortable: a selection of charging cables in case you forgot your own, charging ports on bedside tables, folding luggage racks and empty cubby space for all our travel supplies, cupboards and closets labeled for finding what we needed, filtered water in the fridge and more. Even delicious cookies to welcome us. The fireplace made the suite especially cozy on a rainy night. We will definitely book here again!

Located in Nanaimo and only 15 km from Nanaimo Bastion, Winchelsea Views provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. Guests can benefit from a patio and a sun terrace.

The location was AMAZING! The view of the ocean was spectacular, especially in the mornings. Our hosts were very accommodating, and even left us fresh granola, yogurts, juice, milk, water, and even some butter for our toast! The suite was gorgeous, high ceilings, a lovely polished concrete floor with radiant heat, providing a cozy environment. Not to mention the massage chairs you can enjoy while watching some televison. Truly a luxurious experience, 1000/10!

    Super lovely hosts. I’ve always been a little hesitant about staying in a suite of a property but it was completely fine, more than fine! Comfortable, clean, and well equipped suite. Were left with snacks including freshly baked scones. Huge bed. Super close to the ferry which is what we needed. Happy guests!

    Situated a short drive from the ferry port we used this as a stopover before an early ferry, but the expansive ocean views were definitely an added bonus. Very clean property and lovely hosts.

    Darlene was a lovely host. Sharing her home and living on the premises she went out of her way to ensure that every detail of our stay was exceptional, including turning down our beds and providing a cooked breakfast. If you enjoy a chat and visit with your host, browsing the beautiful garden, you’ll love this B&B.

    We loved this great apartment & guest bedrooms in a private home in a quiet residential area. We enjoyed the most stunning panoramic views of the ocean, islands & mountains from the large balcony. A very warm welcome from our host Charles and his family.
