Modern 2BR Guest House in North Nanaimo is a recently renovated holiday home in Nanaimo, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. The property features mountain and quiet street views, and is 6.5 km from Nanaimo Bastion. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Very friendly hosts that cared a lot about us - we even enjoyed a huge bowl of veggies from the garden and felt so welcomed and comfortable. The accommodation offered everything we needed, we had a lot of space, the location was nice and quiet - we had a wonderful time there. We had a lot of fun because all the machines are singing a melody created by an Austrian composer ;)

Situated in Coal Harbour, 22 km from Port Hardy Ferry Terminal, The Oceanfront Inn on Stephens Bay features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and water sports facilities. Free WiFi and room service are offered. We stayed here during our honeymoon and it was just fantastic! Our apartment was really big, absolutely spotless, very comfortable and well equipped. The view from our terrace of the garden and over the bay was breathtaking. You can also borrow kayaks and explore the bay. But the best part was the breakfast, it was exceptional good and the best breakfast we’ve ever had. Meshell was an amazing host, very warming and friendly. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, 10/5 ⭐️

A microwave, fridge and a coffee machine are featured in the suite at Liahona Guest House. A seating area offers a flat-screen satellite TV. An en suite bathroom with a soaker tub is included. Liahona was absolutely perfect! They had thought of everything including a basket of quality snacks and water on arrival. The location was stunning with deer and other local wildlife just outside my room window. It was quiet and peaceful and very comfortable.
