A truly lovely place that became the perfect nest for our fall weekend in Nanaimo! We came for a quiet little getaway and the apartment exceeded every expectation. The location is great, the space feels cosy and calming, and the overall comfort is on another level. Arrival was super smooth and everything was exactly as promised. What impressed us most was the attention to detail. Everything felt carefully thought through, from the welcome message on the board and the clear guest book, to the small gifts on the table, the selection of tea and coffee, the ice cream waiting in the freezer, and even the beer in the fridge... Every amenity was prepared with such care that we instantly felt disconnected from everyday life and genuinely looked after. The jacuzzi was perfect too, especially when the weather turned a bit glum. It made the whole experience feel even more peaceful and restorative. We loved using every part of the space and left feeling grateful and refreshed. We would absolutely come back if we get the chance. Bayview, thank you for creating a space that made our weekend feel so special.

The location of this motel is ideal. You're no more than 5 minutes from everything you need. A quick and easy drive from the ferry terminal, great beaches, the downtown core, easy access to shops, and restaurants. But, the best part of this stay was the staff. I have honestly never met friendlier and more welcoming staff at a hotel. They couldn't do enough for you and make sure our stay was to our needs.
