About the host
Hosted by Duncan and Cherie Bamforth
We have lived on Vancouver Island our whole lives. We love to travel ourselves and prefer vrbo over hotels for our stays to get that local feel. We love being hosts, meeting people and providing all the comforts of home that we enjoy having when traveling.
Why they chose this property
We just love Lantzville! Minutes to Nanaimo, but small village feel. Being able to walk to the beach every day is such a delight. Our area is absolutely beautiful. Being able to walk to 3 different restaurants is a big bonus too. We also utilize the bus stop book exchange frequently. There’s always a large selection of books free for the taking.
What makes this property unique
Our suite s all one level except a 5” step at entry from patio. There is a small, fully fenced private outdoor space for guests, we also provide ample supplies to get you through most of your stay. Spices and all the expected supplies for an enjoyable stay. We personally really appreciate a space that has supplies. Arriving and having only one garbage bag, one roll of toilet paper and no kitchen staples is frustrating.
