About the host
Hosted by Christine
We are a family who have travelled quite a bit ourselves and we know the value of a lovely place to stay, and we know how much we appreciate having great hosts. We enjoy helping our guests have their best adventures while here.
Why they chose this property
We have a lovely, comfy, clean suite, with well provided kitchen for making your family meals to eat either inside or outside on the deck with distant ocean view. There is a lovely lounging living area and very comfy rooms. This is a nice quiet neighborhood with dining and shopping very nearby. There is also a designated work area and great Wi-Fi which other guests have used to work from home while here.
What makes this property unique
Nanaimo is a very central location on Vancouver Island, 2 minutes to highway 19 which goes all over the Island. We have 8 beautiful walking beaches nearby, ability to hire fishing charters, go kayaking, whale watching. Skiing (Mt. Washington) and surfing (Tofino) are both within driving distance.
