Pros

Direct access to world-class diving sites and fishing spots

Walking distance to Newcastle Island's historical monuments and First Nations archaeological sites

Staff fluency in six different languages ensures clear communication

Convenient location for seaplane tours and harbor activities

Cons

3 miles from Nanaimo Harbour Water

No on-site restaurant

“I think the waterfront location really shines here, especially with those harbour views and the accessibility to walks along the water. The building may show its age, but the rooms appear comfortable, and I appreciate that they welcome pets without extra fees. A little maintenance could elevate this place.”
