Poet’s Retreat stands out for its warm, homey feel and thoughtful touches that make traveling easy for everyone, including families. The suite is fully private and self-contained with its own entrance, kitchen, laundry, and peaceful vibe, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
We’ve stocked the space with kid-friendly extras like books, games, children’s dishware, a pack-and-play, and a high chair to make little ones feel just as welcome as the adults.
Tucked in a quiet neighbourhood near nature trails, lakes, and parks, but still just minutes from downtown Nanaimo, VIU, and the ferries, it’s a great launch pad for your Vancouver Island adventure. And since we live on-site, we’re happy to offer local tips or help out, while giving you space to enjoy your stay.
