Very nice location with sea views from the street and the double sea view room. A short stroll to a small rocky beach. Perfectly located for the Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay ferry from Departure Bay, which is just a 14 minute drive away. Very nice gardens. Rooms are well equipped with personal touches like soap and shampoo, tissues and complimentary chocolates. Darlene is a wonderful host- friendly, interested, caring and kind. The breakfast was wonderful with a fruit platter, hot blueberry scones and croissants with scrambled egg. Excellent value for money, especially as the price includes breakfast.

You do have to remember that this is a Guesthouse not a hotel and that you are staying in someone's house. It is extremely clean and comfortable and quiet. Darlene, the owner, is delightful and bakes the most wonderful scones for breakfast with a variety of prepared fresh fruit and eggs, The bathrooms are clean and it was lovely to have a balcony to step out on in the en suite room. The no shoes in the house rule is sensible and she does provide slippers if needed.
Nothing really.

Darlene, the host is very accommodating, breakfast is good, a traditional and homely house setting . The location is very close to downtown. The room by the ocean view is so relaxing, that the ocean breeze made us so restful and comfortable to sleep in spite of the hot weather. The house is immaculately clean. The beautiful and huge garden is an addition to your view and a must to go around and enjoy. You don't need to visit a botanical garden , it is all in here. All went well . I would highly recommend this place to my friends.
Would have been better if she has more rooms to accommodate a bigger group.

Darline, the host is so amazing! She gives personal attention, fine chocolate, a lovely beautiful room with view to the lake and to the garden. The bed was so comfortable and also the bed sheets. Breakfast felt as if we are in a Palace. Everything so impressive, like royalty 💮 We highly recommend this place with wonderful Darline.
The WiFi didn't work, But we didn't mind it because of the superb hospitality we got 💮

Location was fantastic, short walk (2 min) down the road and you were on the beach where the sunsets are marvellous. Our breakfast was terrific. The gardens were outstanding and in full bloom. neighbours were friendly. Best part was Darlene- our hostess. she is a lovely woman full of spunky and mischief. She provided excellent directions to spots we wanted to either drive or walk to as well as ideas of where to sightsee off the beaten track. we will definitely stay here again. thanks Darlene for such a wonderful stay!

Darlene is a great host, very friendly and welcoming. the house was very clean and the breakfast delicious! Loved the hummingbird on the balcony and the fruit platter. The house is in a quiet street close to the ocean, we saw also a lot of deers hanging in the neighborhood
We stayed in the twin room and it is pretty small, it didn’t have much space to open the luggages properly. Anyway for a short stay is def okay. We couldn’t visit the garden from the house and the floor where we stayed.

Cute little b&b in the north of Nanaimo. Darlene is an exceptional host who provides delicious breakfast (scrambled eggs in a croissant, combined with fresh fruit). Not luxurious, but everything you need from a b&b!
Residential neighborhood, meaning you need the car to go and have dinner - but it is north America, after all… so nothing really to complain!

The place was very clean, garden at the back was beautiful. The amount of space I had was more than I had expected; I did not expect a kitchen with microwave, flat toaster, full fridge, dishes etc. View from the dining area was very nice. There were fresh cut flowers in every room, including the bathroom; smelled nice.
I think few of the decorations can be removed. I am a minimalist. This house had too many decorations. One has to drive 7-8 Km to get something to eat.

The breakfast was very good. The place was very clean. Lovely garden. Quiet location. Gorgeous view. Host was very friendly and accommodating.
The one twin bed was squeaky and a little uncomfortable. The first pillow was not very comfortable. More pillows were available and the second one chosen was much better. The room was small so a little stuffy, but a fan was available to use. The TV was very small, maybe 16".
