We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Randle House. Our hosts were wonderful. We made the trip to explore retirement on the Island, and Taaja and Ken were generous with their thoughts and experiences. We even hosted supper for them in their beautiful seaside backyard. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and spacious. The beds were great, linens high end, and the kitchen was well stocked. The house and gardens had a European feel to them. Sitting on the balcony taking in the view was a highlight every day. High tide, low tide, walks on the beach, and being immersed in nature was glorious. We highly recommend Randle House.

I would like to share how wonderful it was to have these two lovely guests. They were very happy with the suite and all we offer. We were fortunate to have a chef as a guest and they brought down an amazing dinner we shared. They toured the island to perhaps buy in the future and it would be awsome to have them back. Definitiely a lucky to host to have them.

This upper room/loft is ideally located on the shore of beautiful Departure Bay, and provides for a great starting point to explore the east coast of the Island. Comfortable beds in two separate sleeping areas was appreciated, as well as the fully functional kitchen.The room is accessed through a private entrance and up a flight of stairs. Guests should also bring along a comfy pair of house slippers for the hardwood floors.

Clean rooms and comfortable beds . Beautiful view from one bedroom overlooking ocean . Kitchen was ok however we felt we did not have enough cupboards space for the length of our space. Great space for short stays 2-4 days . We stayed 3 months and we felt we ran out of space . First time staying in a space overtop of landlord , not my preference , I felt very conscious on my every step. Furniture in front room not comfortable for older adults . Host tried to keep contact throughout stay and make sure we were ok and to provide guidelines which was disruptive again due to being in her home on top floor she was very concerned about conditions of her floors and bedding . Not my idea situation and I will make sure my next booking is NOT upstairs of landlords . My preference is to be in separate space from landlords.

We had a wonderful stay at this Departure Bay studio in Nanaimo. The location is fantastic—easy to access and close to everything, with truly amazing views. The space itself is cozy, comfortable, and beautifully decorated and furnished, making it feel like home right away.The only note to mention is that the studio is accessed by a narrow flight of stairs. This wasn’t a problem but it could be a bit challenging for elderly guests or those with limited mobility.Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend this spot for anyone visiting Nanaimo!Thank you, Taaja and family!

The location was lovely, and so was one bedroom. I can’t recommend it though because of the way the host managed it. We stayed here on a multi-day trip, and mid trip but after she accepted payment she called me saying that she doesn’t accept children. She seemed relieved our child was 11, not young, but was still made me uncomfortable asking “Yours will be well behaved, right?” I’m not sure what we would have done. Second of all we told her we would arrive in time for a late quick diner in the suite. There was a hail storm as we got ready to leave Victoria, so didn’t get there until 8:30pm. I communicated our progress, but she seemed mad saying “You almost didn’t make it, I told you I go to sleep at 10pm!” I was confused. We had a tired kid who was recovering from motion sickness and wanted to make him noodles and get him to bed. But her process is to have you come to her living room for an extended talk about house rules and concerns. She was very stressed we would be too loud walking as it’s over her suite, and inspected the bottom of my child’s orthopedic slippers to see if they were too loud? She did a room by room tour of everything she wanted done until 9:30 pm when I wanted to go to bed, then was mad three days latter when we couldn’t remember it all. There was nothing she told us that could not be written down on a checklist making it easier. Then she called me two days latter yelling we must have been who gave her suite bedbugs. We didn't, but that’s not the point.

Om værten

Vært: Taaja Kayler

Værtens profilbillede
As a former stewardess; model of over 30 years and runway confidence coach teaching women: the walk, the look, and how to own the room, Taaja on a whim, found herself in a "for sale" stunning beach house on Departure Bay. She set sail from West Vancouver, BC, bought the house and is now the vacation rental owner and operator of Randle House By The Sea. An unexpected dream come true! Her absolute love of cooking now offers her guests to taste some inspired breakfast alternatives and some updated oldies but goldies like her!
Having traveled much of the world, Taaja is passionate about the myriad of exciting things to experience see, and do and the natural wonders right at home on beautiful Vancouver Island.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

My husband loves fishing. As a young family we often made trips to the Island, fishing, camping, touring and just getting away from the city. We would take the kids to our favourite place, Coombs. Huge ice cream cones, country grocery shopping, little stores of all kinds. Coombs fame came from having goats on the roof. The fabulous white dishes i serve my B&B guests from come from there. Fairly new, Cuckoos is without question the best Italian restaurant in western Canada. The famed outdoor terrace looks over a grassy field that plunges below to a little cabin and a few goats eating the greenery. Near Nanaimo is some great mushroom foraging. Mahle House will surely have a wild mushroom entree. A renowned restaurant, a short distance in the country is The Crow and Gate, an original English Pub with huge roaring real fire places loved by all our guests. We are so pleased we made so many, many little trips here with our children I never believed that I, a city girl would actually move to the Island, but I have never looked back. There is so much to do here and having moved from West Vancouver, I find I can go anywhere and be in the country, go on my bicycle to a local farm tucked in the city where I can pick up a dozen eggs or a fresh home grown chicken. The farmers markets are plentiful, all organic food.
Other than Victoria, Naniamo is the cultural central of Vancouver Island.

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

It was not hard to fall in love with this beautiful home. From the moment I stepped through the ivy arched entrance into a charming landscaped inner courtyard, themed in blossoms of pink, white and fuchsia, I was struck with its beauty. A Japanese maple spills over a cozy worn sitting bench. A bird bath and feeders with chickadees twittering about. This is an English Tudor style home with leaded glass windows, but built only 19 years ago facing the Salish Sea. Because Departure Bay is the MOST TEMPERATE area in all of Canada, I could see why this was a winter haven for the First Nations/Indigenous peoples and why they would spend their winters here on Departure Bay before moving on in the spring. Stories abound, and it is my desire to read, hear stories from some of the locals, and find out more about this area and its original inhabitants. Moving along the side of the house towards the ocean, I passed by an outdoor shower. Being a long distance swimmer, that was a wonderful surprise. I again was struck by the beauty of my new surroundings as I approached the front.....the breathtaking view of the Pacific ocean stretched out in front of me. Off in the short distance is Jessie Island and further beyond that Snake Island and beyond, the mountains of Garibaldi and Whistler. New Castle Island is across the bay and cradled in the dock was a BC ferry. I love them, they come and go ever so softly. We call them floating cupcakes, they gleam in the sun. On any given day you can get a completely different photograph of the ocean, sky and scenery. Every color of the rainbow and many different tones and feelings. Just far enough away and close enough to walk is Drip Social, a new coffee shop. You can swim to the barrel and back, a good exercise. There are 6 Adirondack chairs with foot stools, umbrellas, eating areas and a grassy area to take a nap or watch "National Geographic" unfold alive with nature.
