Gorgeous Guest Suite in Nanaimo
Welcome to our Nanaimo getaway! Tucked away in a peaceful suburban neighborhood, our cozy guest suite is the perfect base for exploring Nanaimo's west coast charm. Just a few minutes drive from the ferry terminal and downtown attractions, enjoy easy access to the heart of the city as well as lakes, beaches and outdoors adventure. Enjoy modern comforts, including a fully equipped kitchen, complimentary breakfast items and yard access. Make yourself at home in our laid back island lifestyle! The TVs have guest access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube. I live in the home above the guest suite with my girlfriend and our two friendly doggies. During your stay, you may overhear the pitter patter of paws and the occasional barking at the delivery guy! I let the dogs out a few times a day into the back yard so there's a chance you may see a playful german shepherd and an adorable mini poodle. Other than letting them out to play briefly a few times a day, back yard access is reserved for guests, so please enjoy at your leisure. If their presence is an issue in any way, please just let us know and we'll try to best accommodate your needs. The suite is accessed with keypad and private entry in the backyard which has a set of stairs to gain access.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A sweet apartment.
This is a cozy basement apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Parking is on the street and there are steps involved. Everything provided from tea to towells and milk and eggs to comfy bed and extra blanket. Highly recommend.

Super Accommodating
Had a very awkward timeline to check in and out due to work purposes, and having a pet with me. Travis was very accommodating and flexible with our arrangements, and great at communicating as well.The suite was clean, there were snacks and extra toiletries in the washroom, and it was overall a wonderful experience. Thank you!
