The property was perfectly located for the old town of Nanaimo and the seafront. The host (Anthea) was rather special. It is clear that she absolutely loves hosting. She was a mind of information about where to eat in Nanaimo and also about the rest of the Island. She couldn’t have been more helpful.

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.

This place is absolutely stunning, with unreal ocean and Mountain View’s. It feels peaceful the moment you arrive, quiet, scenic, and really well looked after. The location is great too, with beautiful hiking trails nearby and easy access to Nanaimo’s restaurants, cafés, and shops. Inside, the space is bright, comfortable, and just a genuinely lovely place to hang out. The kitchen has everything you need if you’d rather cook, and eating on the balcony with those views is such a treat. It’s calm, beautiful, and honestly just a wonderful place to stay.

A truly lovely place that became the perfect nest for our fall weekend in Nanaimo! We came for a quiet little getaway and the apartment exceeded every expectation. The location is great, the space feels cosy and calming, and the overall comfort is on another level. Arrival was super smooth and everything was exactly as promised. What impressed us most was the attention to detail. Everything felt carefully thought through, from the welcome message on the board and the clear guest book, to the small gifts on the table, the selection of tea and coffee, the ice cream waiting in the freezer, and even the beer in the fridge... Every amenity was prepared with such care that we instantly felt disconnected from everyday life and genuinely looked after. The jacuzzi was perfect too, especially when the weather turned a bit glum. It made the whole experience feel even more peaceful and restorative. We loved using every part of the space and left feeling grateful and refreshed. We would absolutely come back if we get the chance. Bayview, thank you for creating a space that made our weekend feel so special.

There was a grocery store a short walk away. The accommodations were a good size and the price was good for the area. Clean bedding and towels. If you're looking for inexpensive, this is it. If you're looking for well-kept, this marginally meets that point.

Clean and comfortable accommodation. The place had everything we needed and I wish we could have stayed longer! Wayne and Michele provided lots of helpful information to make our stay easy. Lots of small things made our stay very welcoming - when we arrived late at night the place was warm with lights on.
