"Nice central location. We had a view of the bay. Restaurant is nice too."
We like Naniamo. You see and feel nature around you. Great off leash dog park at upper Collary Dam where you can take your dog swimming. Easy and safe walking to explore neighbourhoods. Gateway to other Vancouver Island communities.

Nanaimo is a medium-size, ocean-side city with something for everyone: wonderful waterfront walking trails, great shopping and restaurants, ferry access to adjacent little islands, and loads of history.

The best ocean lieasure for walks and shopping. The sway-a-Lana lagoon was great for the kids with a hug playground and Piper's Lagoon was a great lac to go for a walk. Pirate chips had the best fish and chips and for diner style food Mrs. Riches was excellent 😎

Overall the breakfast was OK. The bed was comfortable. There was an Ice Machine sign on the floor we stayed but there was no ice machine. I had to call reception for finding out there was only one ice machine in the hotel which was located in the main floor laundry room.

Downtown has great walkability and is family friendly with many parks and playgrounds. We stumbled upon a large park at the end of the waterfront and our kids loved playing there.
We loved the Nanaimo Museum--it is GREAT for the entire family!!
We had fun following the the Nanaimo Bar trail. Our favorites were the traditional bars from Javawocky and the Nanaimo Bar ice cream (not on the official list, but delicious!) next door; the Nanaimo Bar cake pops from COCO Café were amazing; and the peanut butter crunch Nanaimo bars from Hearthstone Artisan Bakery were our favorite non-traditional flavor. You've gotta try the fries and the Deep Fried Nanaimo Bar at Pirate Chips. We also loved the Nanaimo Bar cheesecake from Longwood Brew Pub & Restaurant.
We HIGHLY recommend making the short drive to Smokin' Georges BBQ. The food was so great that we went twice during our short stay. The staff was wonderful and George himself packed our to go order, adding extra plates and cutlery. The place is VERY kid friendly, with crayons and coloring books for the kids, as well as some of the best mac and cheese we've found. The bacon Nanaimo bars served there are also amazing!!
We also highly recommend Columbia Bakery. The pastries are delicious, but the doughnuts are to die for. Best doughnuts we've ever had.
If you're there during the summer, get some ice cream or a milkshake at the snack bar at the Living Forest Oceanside Campground. It's has an AMAZING view and was so peaceful and quiet (even with our large family!).
We also loved climbing around on the rocks and looking at tide pools at Pipers Lagoon park. The views are spectacular!
We loved our time in Nanaimo and highly recommend it as a great place for families!
“Perfect location 20 min walk from Departure Bay ferry, in between restaurants, parks and sightseeing. All the amenities were outstanding, staff was more than helpful and friendly. Will make sure to stay here the next time we’re in Nanaimo. ”
“The house is super big and clean, it close to the lake, and they have their own boat, canoe, so you can either sit on the deck and enjoy the beautiful view, or jump into the water be part of one! Have to mention the breakfast, they do their best to serve you, you'll have many choices to eat. Next time if I go to Nanaimo I will definitely book it again!”
“Good location. We stayed here because it's a pet friendly hotel. The water front is just across the road which was great for walking our dog. The staff were friendly and helpful. They also provide pet packages for your stay which I thought was really nice. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. ”
“The lady owning the place is incredibly helpful, she even dropped me in town as I did not have my own car. The rooms are cosy and the location, a few km out of the city but close to a very nice creek, very nice.”
“Breakfast service was excellent
The significant choices for scotch whiskey was excellent
I was able to sample a very excellent scotch
My wife and I used the gym facilities every day
Staff was professional and attentive”
“Great location, park right there beside hotel Tim Horton's within walking distance and shopping and fast food restaurants. Ferry terminal just down the road.”
