The hosts are incredibly kind and engaged that you will have a comfortable stay. You are even provided with fruits, chocolate, granola bars, water, coffee and tea. The place is in a very beautiful and safe area. You are able to walk towards Neck Point, which is the prettiest place I saw in Nainamo so far. There is a bus stop just in front of the property and also a nice pub, to eat out different daily meals.

Our host was extremely friendly and accommodating. Although we booked only 2-3 hours before arrival everything worked out. The room was very large and comfortable. The view was fantastic. Would recommend the host anytime.

We loved that once one room of the two available was booked, no other guest would be booked in, hence exclusive use of the bathroom & adjacent kitchen. The fully equipped kitchen was a bonus, allowed us to have our breakfast when we liked & to make evening meals using foods purchased at shops in the area (Walmart up the road), if we wanted to stay in after a day's touring. The separate, number pad coded entrance enhanced the privacy too. Swan was an unobtrusive but excellent host, always messaging first to ask if anything was needed. We enjoyed her informative one on one Chinese tea making demo (for longer stay tea drinking guests only though!).

The place is amazing! I usually don't leave reviews unless it's a crazy bad OR super good experience. So, it is that good. Everything is exceptional: the place, how clean and quiet it is, the location, the kitchen and how well-equipped it is, the bedroom with a view and a comfortable bed, the living room with recliners (my husband's favorite spot to chill), AND the hosts! The most caring hosts you can meet. We felt very welcomed and were sad to leave. They also provided breakfast and all the best recommendations for the island. I don't think there is a better place to stay on Vancouver Island for a couple. The place is located quite centrally on the island, so everything is close if you travel by car.

There was nothing not to like. It was beautifully furnished and very relaxing with wonderful views of the beach. There was a washer and dryer which was very handy after travelling for one week. The extra touches of fresh fruit, nuts, chocolates and home baked treats were delightful.

    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.

    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.
