I am so happy to have happened upon this spot, as I searched for hotels near the Nanaimo airport…read more Kiwi Cove Lodge, is a beautiful place. It is situated along Ladysmith Harbor, just beyond the kiwi farm behind the lodge. My room was comfortable and really cute. I also had an amazing view of the kiwi from my balcony. There are multiple entrances and exits, so you don't have to always go to the lobby to go in and out. I enjoyed taking walks behind the lodge, out to the harbor. I saw many birds, some wild bunnies, and felt really relaxed and at peace there. Breakfast was fantastic with friendly service. It was a lot of food! I had 2 eggs, sausage, toast, and a starter which consisted of fruit and yogurt. Doug gave us some a good recommendation for a place to eat since my colleague and I were only there overnight. He also was an excellent host. I would definitely recommend Kiwi Cove Lodge to anyone who likes the bed and breakfast type of atmosphere, or who loves taking walks outdoors. If I am ever in the area again, I'd go back.

My partner and I stayed here for a few days in early April while en route to Tofino. The owners are…read moredelightful people, and the accommodations are lovely if you're looking for something nice & unique instead of sterile-hotel-like. Breakfast each morning was included with our room, and there were no problems accommodating our request for gluten-free food (even though we would have been happy to simply pick something up at the grocery instead!) While the exterior of the building looks rather rustic (or dated, if you're feeling salty,) the interior has been redone rather recently. Both aspects appealed to me, as I like the well-worn aesthetic, but also can't complain about a soaking tub! We had our own exit onto a small deck (shared with the room next to us) that led out to the kiwi grove at the rear of the property, edged with berry brambles. There were also some trails that led around the property and down to a rocky beach on the bay. Next to the kiwi grove is a large community garden. I could see this being a lovely site for a wedding, and I hope we can return sometime when the kiwi have leafed our and are fruiting!

This was our first time staying with Andy and Virginia. Such gracious hosts, going above and…read morebeyond. Virginia is an awesome cook, and Andy is the consummate guide to all things local, from underwater critters, to birds, to kayaking. If you want a comfortable place to stay with hosts that will help you line up your kayaking or scuba diving, this is a great place. Thetis Island is just enough off the beaten path without being too remote. Highly recommend.

GREAT Breakfasts (I tried them ALL) (Stuffed French Toast, Greek Frittata, Eggs Benedict (your choice of number of eggs)-- one day I just had plain Greek Yogurt and fresh blueberries... the bacon was local and everything was fresh) NOT GOOD for people with mobility issues due to stairs. (but their site makes this clear) ROOM with en suite shower/toilet (no tub): Very well appointed, comfortable bed, easy access to two electric plugs and two USB electric ports at desk. Comfortable main living/dining space for all guests use. Nice views of Salish Sea from front (garden view from guest rooms), easy parking for car (must have car for this area). Guests can use small space in frig for left-overs or bottle of wine. I found the TV control to be a bit confusing but OK for short stay use. PLEASE Stay HERE MORE than one night...there is so much to see and experience in the area. I arrived on Vancouver Island via FERRY, on foot, from West Vancouver-Horseshoe Bay...used the 257 express Bus from downtown Vancouver CITY (very easy-peasy).

This was my first B&B experience and it was absolutely amazing. I booked a reservation here for two…read morenights through expedia and got a great deal, also the cancellation policy offered through Eagle Rock B&b is second to none, you don't have to worry if your plans change. Upon arrival at the residence we were greeted by the owner (Jim) who was very proffesional and nice, he showed us all the amenities of the house and how to get in and out, it was really quick and easy. We reserved the "Repertoire" room which has a king bed and a very nice personal bathroom. Everything was nice and clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable, my girlfriend and I both sleep great both nights we stayed here. Breakfast in the morning was top notch! Jim makes it really easy to order what you want, he sent us an email before we arrived asking what we would like, and what time we would like to eat. The first morning I had ham and cheese stuffed french toast (soooo good), and the second morning I had eggs benedict (yummy). Both of the meals were exceptional, and hands down some of the best breakfast meals I've ever been served. I wish we could have stayed longer to try the other items that are available! In addition to the great bedroom and delicious breakfast, the house is also really nice. I had a great cup of coffee in the morning and a nice glass of wine at night sitting in the window seats in the living room. The view is so nice, overlooking the strait of Georgia you can see mountains, the water, and sailboats passing by. The beach is an easy 1 minute walk away! The owners professionalism and courteous can't be forgotten, it's what really made the stay here at Eagle Rock B&B so special. Jim is so easy to talk to and really has a great personality. He always found the perfect point between being a host, and giving us our own space. Thanks for your hospitality, I look forward to coming back here again!
