    A lovely Annex guesthouse with fantastic facilities in the dining kitchen area. Located in a very quiet wooded area not far from nannose bay. Lovely yoga area. Anna, the host is amazing. She made us stay something special.

    I can’t think of any improvements that could be made.

    Stunning sunsets and sunrises in a beautiful wooded area. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, gorgeous rooms and lovely kitchen to share. Friendly host made my daughter feel most welcome.

    Part of me would have loved to stay longer ...

    Beautiful location, feel of being remote, yet close to the highway. Kitchen was exceptional and well stocked with a wide variety of items to choose from to create delicious meals. Plus coffee, tea, fruit and treats. A magical place, truly embodying the vibe of zen, peaceful, bright, sun sets and sun rises from the balcony. (Majestic view of the the bay and mountains.) Anna was a great host, very welcoming and attentive to any questions or needs.

    We enjoyed the deck to our room which overlooked Nanoose harbour - often having our early morning coffee or sunset beverage on the deck. We utilized the large yoga room regularly and there is a large beautiful shared kitchen with fridge stocked for making your own breakfast. This location was a lovely retreat to return to from our daily outings.

    It’s a long steep driveway but that’s not within control of the property owners. It goes with the location being in the mountains.

    It is such a beautiful location - nice view of the bay and a beautiful yard on the property.

    This charming and cozy retreat is set slightly up the hill, just off the highway, making it a perfect base to explore the island. The location offers great access while still feeling peaceful and secluded. The view from the rooms overlooking the Nanoose bay was absolutely breathtaking. Anna is very helpful and a wonderful host

    It just took us a little moment to find the place – a small sign by the road could make it even easier to spot.

    We had a wonderful stay – thank you so much, Anna! You made us feel very welcome and at home. The rooms and the view were beautiful, the yoga room was lovely, and we really appreciated the privacy. We were also pleasantly surprised by how much food was available in the kitchen – such a thoughtful touch. Highly recommended!

    Our experience staying here was great! The room was very nice, spacious and had a balcony with a wonderful view of Nanose Bay. Our hostess was attentive and generous, offering options for tourist attractions, as well as a very functional kitchen with a variety of food. The property is an invitation to relax and is located close to Nanaimo, but in a quieter area where you can often see wild animals. If we have the opportunity, we will return and stay at the same place.

    The owner was present for any needs or assistance. She possesses a very kind warm energy ✨️. So my son and I were relaxed and enjoying the beautiful view and the very loud sound of silence!!! This is very hard to find these days. I could see myself going there again, but staying longer the next time I go back. If you want to bring yourself back to the " NOW " I strongly suggest booking a weekend here. Has a beautiful yoga room, full size kitchen at your disposal and a sunrise 🌅 you can see like none other. I give this place a 9.9 out of 10!!!

    For our one night stay, we have no complaints. Everyone might not like the more remote location and shared kitchen, but the quality of everything provided is excellent.

    Absolutely beautiful location if you enjoy having a coffee or a glass of wine sitting on a balcony overlooking a gorgeous view of mountains and water. Crystal who checked us in and showed us the property, was delightful and very helpful and got to chat with Anna who was also lovely and very personable. Our bedroom and bathroom were comfortable and very clean. Lovely Japanese aesthetic in the bedroom which is unusual.
