We had to book this accommodation late because a previous booking cancelled two days before. They did us a big favour because we certainly ended up in a better location. This is a suite in a private house and the host, Yelen, was very welcoming. We had a car so we could get to anywhere we needed to go. Lots of deer on the footpath each day. We had a beautiful balcony that overlooked Nanaimo. Highly recommend.

What a lovely little place! Darlene is a wonderful and accommodating host who made us feel welcome, and right at home. Her place is very clean and beautiful. She whipped up a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit both mornings of our stay.

Absolutely amazing accommodation. Stayed in 5 airbnbs during our roadtrip and this was by far the best! Facilities and cleanliness both top notch quality. Extremely spacious and cosy, and the views from outside the property are incredible. Lisa was very attentive and ensured we were ok without being bothersome. The location is only a quick drive to Lantzville and an easy location to travel further north or south. Thank you Lisa for letting us stay!!!
