There is no breakfast. The view was good. The host was pleasant. It was a good base to visit Parksville and Cathedral Grove.

When I made the original booking, it was somewhat misrepresented at first as the booking stated "tjhe whole place is yours!", but this was not the case. However, I called to see what could be done as I knew there would be an extra person coming and they accomodated me with renting me another room no problem at all! Lily is a fantastic host and I only wish I had more time to chat with her and listen to her stories =-> The views of the islands and sunsets were spectacular and the neighbourhood is very quiet. Though bathrooms are shared, there are only a couple of rooms on each floor and there were never any issues at all.

This was a lovely property to stay at. The room is very spacious and immaculately clean. The area is terrific and it is very quiet at night. You have access to a well equipped kitchen and we wished we were staying longer as it was such a nice place to go. The hostess was warm and welcoming and check in was very easy.

Paula was a great host offering a good description of restaurants close by and providing fresh baked sourdough bread our first morning. The attention to details of items offered was appreciated. Would definitely recommend booking this stay.

    Super lovely hosts. I’ve always been a little hesitant about staying in a suite of a property but it was completely fine, more than fine! Comfortable, clean, and well equipped suite. Were left with snacks including freshly baked scones. Huge bed. Super close to the ferry which is what we needed. Happy guests!

    Darlene was a great hostess. Looked after every need and her scones were amazing at breakfast. Her gardens were like being in a park, so beautiful! We will definitely go back next holiday.

    Situated a short drive from the ferry port we used this as a stopover before an early ferry, but the expansive ocean views were definitely an added bonus. Very clean property and lovely hosts.

    Darlene was a lovely host. Sharing her home and living on the premises she went out of her way to ensure that every detail of our stay was exceptional, including turning down our beds and providing a cooked breakfast. If you enjoy a chat and visit with your host, browsing the beautiful garden, you’ll love this B&B.

    We loved this great apartment & guest bedrooms in a private home in a quiet residential area. We enjoyed the most stunning panoramic views of the ocean, islands & mountains from the large balcony. A very warm welcome from our host Charles and his family.
