My hubby & I travelled with my 7 months old gal to Nanaimo and we googled & 1st thing Pine & Picket popped out. The reviews by other travellers were great too and we decided to try it for ourselevs being 1st time in Canada. Pine & Picket was not just good, it was 'FANTASTIC'! Not only did they extend... More

We spent only one night here, but would have liked to stay longer. Unfortunately, we had to get back to Vancouver and couldn't stay longer. Nanaimo is a beautiful town on the East coast of Vancouver Island and the Pine and Picket is the perfect place to stay while visiting there. Ingvar and Ania are friendly hosts with an interesting...

Having read the reviews of previous guests my wife and I were confident that this was a quality B and B and we were looking forward to the breakfasts. We are from Sydney Australia and going out for breakfast is one of our favourite pastimes. We were however amazed by the quality and range of the food that Ania prepared.... More

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights at the end of May. I read other reviews about this place on Trip advisor before making the booking. Let me say that all the talk about how excellent the breakfast is here is absolutely true. My wife remarked that the scones here are the best she has ever had. I... More

We stayed at the Pine and Picket for three nights in May 2013 in the Madagascar room. The inn is located on a quiet residential street within walking distance of the ferry from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay as well as the waterfront. We loved the location of the inn for exploring the area. During our stay we were able... More

An unfortunate hotel experience in Victoria led us to the Pine & Picket a day earlier than we had planned and we are so glad. Ingvar & Ania are great hosts, very welcoming, with great stories of their own but interested in their guests' stories as well. The rooms are cozy, clean and very nicely decorated. Two upstairs balconies offer... More

I'm not usually given towards using superlatives, but in all honesty, this is a five-star B&B. Ania is a professionally trained gourmet cook, and the breakfasts truly knocked our socks off. We stayed two nights, and couldn't believe what awaited us in the dining room each morning. No exaggeration .... you will not find a better breakfast anywhere! Ania and... More

I can't imagine better service/friendliness/cleanliness at a 5 star resort. Ingvar and Ania were so helpful and accomodating and the breakfast was truly divine. What an amazing welcome home to Canada for me and welcome to Canada to my husband. Thank You!!
