Inn the Estuary

Fantastic

Pros: Everything! What a beautiful location, views, gardens! Very comfortable bed. Bathroom is not meant for big people, but for is was just fine. Really appreciated a gift from the hosts, such a sweet touch. Hot tub was really appreciated during this weekend cold weather. I can only imagine how even prettier everything is during summer when grasses go green! Lots of birds just near windows. Stunning sunrises not to be missed. Harold was very helpful and accommodating. Would stay again!

Pros: Everything was perfect. The view was wow. Waking up and watching the birds while lying in bed was special. Harold was great host and very helpful sharing local insights on places to visit.

Cons: Nothing, everything was just perfect

Perfect

Pros: It‘s an incredible place. The suite and the property is beautiful and the host Harold with his family are the best best people you will meet. Super friendly, helpful and full of great stories. Go there, when you can!

Pros: Peaceful and private location. Host was friendly and accessible, but not over powering. Loved watching the hummingbirds.

Cons: Access information came though last minute.

Beautiful accommodation in stunning surroundings

Pros: Beautiful accommodation. Stunning view from large picture windows. Saw deer, hummingbirds, woodpecker and eagle. Local supermarket and liquor store a 5 min drive. So convenient for ferries at Nanaimo. Facilities were excellent including a washing machine and a drier. Barbecue was a bonus. Owner was very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Harold met us upon arrival and gave us a quick tour of the apartment and the facilities. He had put together a book of local recommendations for eating, walking and sightseeing. He had also created a map of the local area to show you where places were. The apartment was well provisioned and was very comfortable. The sunrise was also very spectacular.

Highly recommended. We really would like to return for longer.

Pros: Excellent location, excellent accommodation, excellent hosts. Being so close to nature and enjoying the peace and comfort was a perfect recipe to unwind, relax and explore this beautiful area.

Cons: Nothing disliked

Pros: Our stay at Inn the Estuary was absolutely fantastic - we truly wished we could have stayed longer! This beautiful area allowed us to completely unwind, slow down, and fully enjoy the peace and breathtaking nature around us. The comfort level was simply perfect - pure well-being from start to finish. The communication was excellent, and we deeply appreciated the wonderful conversations with Harold and his incredibly helpful tips about the region. Thank you so much again, for making our stay even more special. If we get the chance, we will most definitely come back!

Spectacular scenery

Pros: The view is incredibly beautiful. You feel like in a wildlife / bird observation with all the comfort. We loved the View Suite. Our best nights in Canada.

Incredible stay

Pros: A hidden gem. Stunning location on the edge of an estuary with wildlife on your doorstep. Our children were delighted to see the resident beaver each day. Harold the owner is so lovely and helpful. He arranged for us to kayak out into the estuary one evening. It is the perfect base to explore Nanoose Bay, Parksville and Nanaimo. Our only regret was that we did not book for longer.
