After traveling to many places and staying with many wonderful hosts, we would like to extend the same enjoyment of our local area to other visitors.

This Madrona Point area neighbourhood has a “peaceful, easy” feeling of rural living. Only steps from local access to beaches where you can go for a swim, launch your kayak or paddle board, or dive in the Madrona Dive Park. A favourite area for cycling and walking, or a short drive to hiking trails and Rathtrevor Beach Park makes for great exploring in beautiful island surroundings. We are within the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, making wildlife and bird watching top picks in our area. Note: We are in the Regional District of Nanaimo and are not affected by the new provincial Short Term Rental legislation.

Barnacle Loft is a unique, private space located above our home with its own separate, level entrance and driveway. Newly renovated and curated with your every comfort in mind, this light and airy studio will give you the special holiday retreat you are looking for!
