    Excellent motel! Clean rooms with comfy bed and good shower pressure. Great facilities - fridge and coffee maker in each room and extras available at reception with cold, filtered water also available. Free mini golf next door and popcorn available at reception. Reception open until midnight and everyone who served us was really friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

    The resort is so beautiful and well taken care of. The cabins are close but it is so quiet and you feel private. The kitchen was so well equipped. As I like to read in the evening I could have used better lighting.

    This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way...

    This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way around most of the city and beyond, but it is always a great place to be. We love the well planned Harbour walkways, many events in the parks, the beach trails. Our favourite beach walks are Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point. There are many good music venues, restaurants, scenic drives and walks. We easily found side roads that were basically parallel to the highway to get to and from downtown. Nanaimo has has a LOT to offer any visitor of any age! Can't wait to return!

    We were there for the last 3 days of the beach festival.

    We were there for the last 3 days of the beach festival. The sand sculptures, illuminated at night, were amazing (in the true meaning of the word) in their artistry and creativity. The beaches, parks and old growth trees were a delight to see. There are several excellent and unique restaurants. This town is perfect for a romantic couple's break or for a family with children. A suggestion for the City Council: Provide a small, free, illustrated map of the city with various attractions and the unique places to eat, visit and play.0 Tony Keble.

    The farmers market on Saturday was fantastic - I got the best scones I've ever had from one of the vendors. it would have been nice to have a little more time to explore the town and the beach but we were there for a wedding so had limited "tourist" hours

    The space was great.

    The space was great. Sat on the couch and could see the ocean view. I easily walked around the neighbourhood. There is a marina within walking distance with a restaurant and coffee shop. Very lovely but was closed during my stay. Ate at Qualicum Beach Cafe. Great happy hour menu and also at The BeachClub Resort in Parksville. You do need a car. Lots of hiking, biking, walking, kayaking and beaches.

    The Inner Harbor was beautiful.

    The Inner Harbor was beautiful. The Snowbirds did a show when I was there. The harbor was lively and fun. The hiking in the area was awesome. Nanaimo is easy to navigate with a car. Great halfway stop between Victoria and Tofino.

    Such a quiet and quaint little town by the ocean. If you want a relaxing vacation away from the hustle and bustle of city life Parksville is the perfect destination. Chameleons is one of our favorite restaurants and the Stonewater Spa at the Beach Club Resort is wonderful. SOS Thrift Store is great if you're into thrifting and finding great deals.

    Very nice, even during the winter months if you are okay with cooler temperatures, grey skies and rainy weather. The beach and town areas are clean. Various wildlife and sea life can be viewed with binoculars with lots of trails and points of interest being nearby or a short drive away. Qualicum area is nice to visit during the winter as the shoulder season is not busy with tourists.

    Stayed here coming back from Tofino to catch the Nanaimo ferry the next day. Fabulous hosts, great views over the Bay from the hillside, easy access, spacious property, immaculately clean, peace and quiet, yet close to town. Certainly a place I will will come back to soon. I rate it five stars. At the Provincial Park in nearby Parkville, I saw 12 orcas right off the beach.

    Nice town. Good things to do in the area. Cowichen River float, Parksville mini golf, cycling the adjacent islands. Druggies and street people/beggars. Sirens all night. Car alarms. Shouting at night. Traffic even during the week at off peak hours.
