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.

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.

The location of this motel is ideal. You're no more than 5 minutes from everything you need. A quick and easy drive from the ferry terminal, great beaches, the downtown core, easy access to shops, and restaurants. But, the best part of this stay was the staff. I have honestly never met friendlier and more welcoming staff at a hotel. They couldn't do enough for you and make sure our stay was to our needs.
