Stunning Lakefront Suite in the Heart of the City
Life is simply better at the lake! Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a long term vacation or perhaps an inspiration spot for business, this is your destination. For us, it's all about lifestyle and experiencing the best that life has to offer. Enjoy the expansive views of the lake and mountains. Go for a sunset paddle with the surrounding wildlife. Recharge with a book by the fire. Hike the local trails. It doesn't matter what you love to do most. We believe you can have it all.
The space
This beautiful 1 bedroom suite is stylishly decorated and fully equipped with absolutely everything you need for the perfect stay. With a super comfy bed and quality linens, the home accommodates 1-4 guests. A well appointed kitchen allows you the ability to cook a beautiful meal but if you prefer to have someone else do the cooking, there are an abundance of great restaurants nearby.
At every step your are welcomed by the wonder of west coast living. Head out for an early morning paddle, hike the vast trail systems in the surrounding area, play a game on the lawn, relax with an outdoor fire or curl up with a book by the lake. Whatever you choose you will not be disappointed.
With complimentary WIFI and a smart tv, you can binge your favourite TV show, Netflix series or enjoy a movie. You can eat at your bistro set with a view, at the kitchen island or down by the lake. The choice is yours.
Looking to get out and explore? Whether summer or winter, there are also plenty of activities to experience outside the property. Ocean beaches are just a 10 min drive away. Take a day trip to Victoria to experience Butchart Gardens or the Inner Harbour. Drive 40 min north to see the majestic old growth trees at Cathedral Grove and finish with a treat at the Coombs Country Market. Are you a wine enthusiast? You can visit many local wineries locally and in the nearby Cowichan Valley. In the winter, Mount Washington is just a 1.5hr drive to the hill for skiing or snowshoeing. It's also a great mountain bike riding and hiking location in the summer months. For those who want a little more rest and relaxation, try one of the award winning spas within a short drive. The options are endless. We are happy to help point you in the right direction.
There are no laundry services available on site, however; we have made sure you have all the beach towels, linens and extras available to make your stay memorable. And if you need anything extra during your stay, you can let us know and we will work to accommodate. It is also well stocked with a variety of maps, menus and brochures on Nanaimo and the surrounding areas.
With great restaurants, pubs, shopping and grocery stores only minutes away, the needs of our guests are easily met. The suite is conveniently accessed around the side of the home. Take the stairs down towards the lake and enter by key through the back patio sliding door. We will provide you with easy check in instructions on the day of your arrival.
