Located within 6.2 km of Nanaimo Bastion and 6.4 km of Newcastle Island Marine Park, Panoramic Ocean View provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Nanaimo. This property offers access to a balcony, table tennis, free private parking and free WiFi. The homestay features mountain views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. We had to book this accommodation late because a previous booking cancelled two days before. They did us a big favour because we certainly ended up in a better location. This is a suite in a private house and the host, Yelen, was very welcoming. We had a car so we could get to anywhere we needed to go. Lots of deer on the footpath each day. We had a beautiful balcony that overlooked Nanaimo. Highly recommend.
