Winchelsea Views is located in Nanaimo, just 10 miles from Nanaimo Bastion and 10 miles from Newcastle Island Marine Park.

This is a lovely property, with views of the strait and the islands. The owners are very kind and friendly, and although breakfast was not supposed to be included, they left breakfast food in the refrigerator for us. There were reclining sofas with heat and massage. The price was very good for a lodging this wonderful. We hope to return!

    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!

    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.
