    If you love nature then this is the place for you. Harold has done an amazing job in making the property fit right into the surrounding landscape and the wildlife that lives in it. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. there was not one thing that could have been better, thank you Harold and the Inn the Estuary for making my visit to Nanoose Bay even more memorable.

    The apartment had all amenities available for a great stay, though some seemed unused for a while, resulting in minor stickiness and dustiness. Overall, a very small inconvenience in an otherwise excellent stay.

    The "The View" suite really has a breathtaking view and is perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Great place to see some birds and other wildlife. Harold, the owner, happily shared his recommendations for local walks and places to eat. We'd love to come back here again in the future

    Bed too soft for my preference, but that is a personal and minor detail. The dvd remote and player didn’t work, but not a significant issue considering our overall experience.

    Everything about this place and the location is stunning and we are so grateful to have found it and had the opportunity to experience a romantic weekend get-away for our 22nd anniversary. Thank you to Harold and the staff and we can’t wait to return hopefully sooner rather than later!

    I have nothing to complaint about.

    It’s a wonderful place. The surrounding nature is so beautiful and the view from the big windows of the room is just incredible. The rooms are spacious, clean, nicely furnished. There is everything you need for a short stay - and if not, you have just to contact the owner, Harold. He was so friendly, helpful (he provided us great advice about the places we could see there) and at the same time discrete and polite! There are some canoes, so one can go through the little canal from the Inn into the river, there are balconies to enjoy the view - and one has even a bath, so you can bath on the open balcony watched by the birds! (If it’s not what you want, there is a shower in the normal bathroom, too). There was a beaver who came every day, and wild gooses and herons outside. Very beautiful, well-groomed Inn, with beautiful places nearby to enjoy the Canadian nature.

    The property is one of a kind and the owners are really nice. Harold was always available to greet us, show us around and answer our questions. The small gift made by his wife is a really nice touch. This property is spotless, really well decorated and has the best views. The abundance of birds and variety of plants make it unique.

    Harold was an absolutely fantastic host. The accommodation is incredible, directions were super clear, location fantastic and a good supermarket just around the supermarket just around the corner. Watching the wildlife was a real treat. It was honestly one of the highlights of our holiday.

    The View Suite has literally an amazing view! We could watch wildlife right from our suite - eagles, beavers, deer,… The hosts are amazingly friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There are kayaks to use and paddling out in the evening is just beautiful! All super clean, well equipped - just the perfect stay! Plus there is a super brewery in walking distance - went there 4 nights in a row 😀

    The one and only thing i would change would be the toilet (seems like an odd thing) but its a bit of a high toilet and my feet were dangling...

    The suite was phenomenal... although the room did get warm because of all the windows, it was worth the view. Harold is very sweet and attentive to his guests. The property is stunning, had hoped for a bit longer of a walking trail right there, but there are so many around to choose from, it was a non issue!

    Nothing. This place is fabulous!

    This is definitely the best place we stayed while we were exploring the island. I wish we could have stayed more than three nights. You enter to such an amazing view and then walk the beautiful grounds and discover so many beautiful plants, flowers, and birds. It wa such a treat to see the eagles every day and so many red winged blackbirds. The heron spent more than an hour in the estuary. Harold is such an amazing host...so friendly and helpful. It was also delightful to get to meet his wife, Marianne. They have truly created a sanctuary on the estuary. The bed is comfortable, the shower is great, the kitchen was great so that we could eat in every night and watch the birds. It's nice to have a washer and dryer available to do laundry in the midst of a long trip. Harold had great suggestions for places to visit and it's in a great location to make it a home base for sight seeing. Thanks for everything Harold and Marianne.
