AnnArthur Guest House, hotel in Nanaimo

Situated in Nanaimo and only 1.7 km from Nanaimo Bastion, AnnArthur Guest House features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The property was clean, spacious with a small kitchen and living area and it was nice not to have to sit in your bedroom as we had been in hotels. There were lots of towels and plenty of hot water for the shower. The owners left lots of information and maps which helped us with planning meals and trips.

Cozy Comfort rooms in Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

Cozy Comfort rooms in Nanaimo features wellness packages and free private parking, and is within 9.4 km of Nanaimo Bastion and 10 km of Newcastle Island Marine Park.

Tea and coffee provided as well as snacks for the night and morning. Towels, robes and bathroom necessities were all available and the bed was very comfortable. The host did exactly what he needed to do and then let us have our space, there isn’t much I would really change honestly. We spent one night there and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Water bottles and mini chocolates were also provided.

Winchelsea Views, hotel in Nanaimo

Located in Lantzville 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...

I don’t know where to start but we had the perfect stay at Brenda’s & Monty’s home! First of all - the view is spectacular and a good reason to wake up for sunset l. The location is quiet and by car there are many shops and restaurants nearby. The apartment itself is well equipped, spacious and very clean. The bed was comfy and we had a good rest. But the hosts are what makes it special. Monty provided many recommendations for hikes and our itinerary. Couldn’t ask for more and we will definitely come back. Thanks for having us :)

    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!

    Darlene was a great hostess. Looked after every need and her scones were amazing at breakfast. Her gardens were like being in a park, so beautiful! We will definitely go back next holiday.

    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.
