First time doing a bed and breakfast and let me tell you, I'll think twice about going to a hotel again! This place is well kept, spacious and a beautiful location. Great price, big comfy beds and wonderful service. The best part was the breakfast! a completely balanced meal and absolutely delicious!!! lovely lovely, lovely! Highly recommended!

Great full apartment-sized suite, with everything you could imagine needing and facing a lovely little lake. Hosts were super pleasant & the breakfast divine and generous. If you're looking for an enjoyable walk, check out the nearby Westwood Lake.

This b&b exceeded expectations. The suite was roomy, well appointed and very quiet overlooking an urban lake. Breakfast was huge and very tasty. Hosts were charming. This will be my choice on future trips to Nanaimo. Well done Ramsay

At the start of a month long adventure in Canada, we could not have chosen a better place to begin.

Having missed the earlier ferry we arrived rather late at about 10 pm; yet, we were greeted with big smiles, delicious homemade Nanaimo bars and juice. Our apartment style accommodation overlooked the lake and we saw a Kingfischer, Hummingbird, and Heron during our stay. The rooms were spacious, clean, and functional with enough decor to make you feel at home.... More
