4.2 km from Royal Roads University, Illuminati Guest House is a recently renovated property set in Victoria and offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and parking on-site. Each accommodation at the 5-star bed and breakfast has pool views, and guests can enjoy access to a sauna and a hot tub. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the children's playground, or enjoy views of the garden and inner courtyard. Comfy , clean, modern, well equipped , bedroom and communal kitchen /eating area in family home basement. bedroom smallish with no view as high windows, but with fabulous pool, hot tub and relaxing tasteful garden areas. Sharing a bathroom with potentially 6 guests would not be good, and make it a bit pricey for a very upmarket hostel . . But I was fortunate to be the only guest, and it was just wonderful. Out of town ,so quiet, and on a fast half hour frequent bus link to Victoria.

The property features mountain and quiet street views, and is 6.5 km from Nanaimo Bastion. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. Very friendly hosts that cared a lot about us - we even enjoyed a huge bowl of veggies from the garden and felt so welcomed and comfortable. The accommodation offered everything we needed, we had a lot of space, the location was nice and quiet - we had a wonderful time there. We had a lot of fun because all the machines are singing a melody created by an Austrian composer ;)

Situated in Coal Harbour, 22 km from Port Hardy Ferry Terminal, The Oceanfront Inn on Stephens Bay features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and water sports facilities. Free WiFi and room service are offered. We stayed here during our honeymoon and it was just fantastic! Our apartment was really big, absolutely spotless, very comfortable and well equipped. The view from our terrace of the garden and over the bay was breathtaking. You can also borrow kayaks and explore the bay. But the best part was the breakfast, it was exceptional good and the best breakfast we’ve ever had. Meshell was an amazing host, very warming and friendly. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, 10/5 ⭐️
