Nanoose Bay is home to this apartment.

Wilde and Sparrow and Riptide Lagoon Adventure Golf are also worth visiting.
We had a wonderful stay at The Lagoon Suite! The room was exactly as advertised and Harold met us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. The view was amazing for a peaceful and relaxing stay and the jet tub was the icing on the cake. Whether sitting in the tub during the day watching the wildlife or at night listening to the frogs it was a tranquil experience. We would highly recommend and will definitely return for another stay.

A beautiful setting, well appointed with easy access and cool local spots of interest and many great dining options make this an awesome place to stay.
What a delightful and calming stay! Inn the Estuary is absolutely gorgeous, with so much wildlife and excellent views right outside your patio. Harold was such a kind and attentive host, and even offered to fill our tire for us when he noticed it was flat! Clean, quiet, and so close to anywhere you’d want to explore! 10/10 experience!

Harold was a great host. Well appointed apartment with a nice view of the marsh
Beautiful property. Check in was so simple - code sent ahead of time and all seamless. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was well equipped for all we needed - breakfasts, lunches etc. Everything was fabulous - and the host was right there if we’d needed anything. We’re hoping we’re lucky enough to come back!
This accommodation was the nicest place we have ever experienced. Extreme quality in every category. You are immersed into nature and every detail of this place is first class. The owners have worked hard on their property to be environmentally beautiful and have created a paradise. Be sure to visit here for an amazing experience.
The accommodation was exceptional and above standard in all ways...incredible locale and the owner was very sociable and eager to help in any manner possible.
Beautiful, breathtaking views! So quiet and relaxing get away😊

What a rare find. The Inn is located in a secure and quiet estuary, and it’s not to be missed. We were surrounded by nature in a wonderfully decorated suite. We saw eagles, bats, beavers and so many birds… Harold is a wonderful host. Can’t wait to go back!
My second stay in the Lagoon Suite at Inn the Estuary was just as wonderful as the first time. It's furnished like a high-end hotel room but also has a small, but adequate, kitchen. I'll definitely be back.
My wife and I spent 2 outstanding days at the Lagoon Suite at the Inn the Estuary in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island, B.C. The self contained suite,with all of the amenities of a 5 star hotel, was absolutely spectacular with floor to ceiling panoramic views of the wildlife estuary lagoon. Awesome hosts, great stay and we definitely will be back!
We spent 2 nights in the Lagoon Suite. It was lovely! The bed was very comfortable, and the suite had all the basic necessities. The outdoor was very relaxing. It was enjoyable to watch all the birds on the patio, and the beavers in the evening. The host Harold was very welcoming, and wished us well on our departure. We would certainly recommend this place to others!
We were really looking forward to our stay having had to cancel several times in the last three years of the pandemic. The Lagoon suite is so well set up and we enjoyed sitting looking out at the estuary with its birds and the little beaver family. Harold provided a friendly greeting and showed us everything as well as checking with us that all had been well as we left. We look forward to a return visit.
From the time we drove into the b nd b it was exactly as the photo's we had seen. Norman was very welcoming and suggested great places to visit. It was exactly " what the Dr. ordered# . Thanks
