It would be great to have the toilet in a self-contained room as opposed to shared with the bedroom. Things were a little dusty and I needed to ask for shower gel, dish cloth and scrubber and garbage bags because they were forgotten. However, we were delighted to have received farm fresh eggs and cold bottled water and driveway parking space. Also very quiet neighborhood. Overall a great place to stay, centrally located, highly recommended!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We regret that the suite design wasn’t to your preference. The primary suite is intended to be a walk through to the bathing area to provide a smooth flow to the space while still allowing visual privacy. We take great pride in the level of cleanliness with each and every surface sanitized between guests (the reason we could not agree to a late check out for you) and cannot imagine where there would have been dust. We wish you many 5* stays to come and regret that we did not meet your standards.
We enjoyed our stay again at this wonderful rental. Cozy and clean with everything we need. Awesome shower and comfortable bed. Really appreciate having the washer and dryer Very convenient location and a nice quiet location. This is our go to rental when visiting family in Nanaimo. Great value for the price!

It is such an honour to be chosen for repeat stays. You are a top tier guest and a delight to host. We hope to see you again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. It was very quiet, private and relaxing. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had great sleeps! Shower had good pressure and it was nice having the washer and dryer after travelling for a few days prior. Will definitely be booking here again!
