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.

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. Meshell and Stephen provided the greatest accomodation we had found in Canada during our entire trip. The Inn is a hidden gem on this island, offering peaceful, cosy, and unique views. It is important to mention how amazing their breakfast is. We were able to use the barbacue and use their kayaks for an afternoon trip  We deffenetly would recommend The Oceanfront Inn on Stephens Bay.

Tofino Paddlers Inn is set in Tofino, within 3.1 km of Tofino Botanical Gardens and 10 km of Radar Hill. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.2 km from Tonquin Beach. I loved it! My room was adorable and the bed was super comfortable. Even though there were only two bathrooms, I never had to wait, and the bathroom was really nice. The house overall was very clean, had a pleasant temperature, and smelled great. The kitchen had everything you could need and an amazing view. The location was also excellent. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Tofino in the future.
