Located in Nanaimo and only 6.5 km from Nanaimo Bastion, Modern 2BR Guest House in North Nanaimo provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated holiday home is located 6.6 km from Newcastle Island Marine Park and 8.2 km from Nanaimo Museum. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and full-day security for guests. Very friendly hosts that cared a lot about us - we even enjoyed a huge bowl of veggies from the garden and felt so welcomed and comfortable. The accommodation offered everything we needed, we had a lot of space, the location was nice and quiet - we had a wonderful time there. We had a lot of fun because all the machines are singing a melody created by an Austrian composer ;)

The property is non-smoking and is located 1.2 km from Tonquin Beach. I loved it! My room was adorable and the bed was super comfortable. Even though there were only two bathrooms, I never had to wait, and the bathroom was really nice. The house overall was very clean, had a pleasant temperature, and smelled great. The kitchen had everything you could need and an amazing view. The location was also excellent. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Tofino in the future.
