About this property

2 bedroom cozy space close to hiking, Westwood Lake, Benson Regional Park (mtn biking), the beach, and family-friendly activities. Complete with a full kitchen, full bathroom, gas fireplace, and friendly goats to visit with.
You'll love our place because of the large relaxing yard, and the coziness. Great for couples, business travellers, adventurers, mountain bikers, hikers and families (with kids).

Hosts live above the suite and we are an active family…expect some noise and we do our best to be settled by 10pm.

Standard booking is for two guests, additional fee above 2 persons. One queen bed in each room. There is a pet fee per pet (dogs only). **There is an $45 additional charge per dog per booking MAX SIZE of 75 lbs or 32.0 kilos per dog.

If you are used to city life, on a clear night, you will see more stars than you thought possible. You can work quietly or head out for an amazing cup of nature. Do you want a gentle interaction with a friendly goat? Then, Jett is comfortably secured in the yard.

The Nanaimo Aquatic Centre and Nanaimo Ice Rink are within a 5-minute drive; great if you are here for a tournament or you are wanting a workout.

Awesome

Absolutely recommend staying here. The place was very inviting and the beds were very comfortable. Our host was easy to contact. A great place for fur babies. My Dachshund was so calm and relaxed. Thank you for a home away from home.

Relaxing and peaceful

The space, location, and outdoors environment were exactly as represented, and when we couldn’t find a bread knife, our hosts got us one, along with some other useful utensils, the same day. We’re completely happy with our stay there, love the area, and would like to stay again in future.

Amazing accommodation - just perfect.

The website photos undersell this property. It has everything you would want and more. A great well equipped kitchen, a lovely lounge area, two double bedrooms and a nice bathroom. There is a nice sitting area at the back and garden. The hosts are just so welcoming and helpful and whilst they live in the house above they leave you to get on with things unless you need help about local points of interest or facilities. Direct road takes you to Nanaimo harbour and quite close to the main Route 19. Loved our stay and happy to recommend.

The only issue

Very nice people and a comfortable suite. The issue was the constant noise upstairs. We are an older couple and really needed a quiet place for a long-awaited vacation. Maybe it was on us to find a place that doesn't have children upstairs. Sorry about this but it is in the best interest for the owners to be aware of this issue.
