Overall Ratings & Reviews Maple View Bed and Breakfast

No breakfast was provided on the last day for no apparent reason or apology

Clean room and bed.. nice breakfast!! fee wife.. little bit hard to find the house..

A very nice bed and breakfast in a quiet residential neighborhood convenient to the Departure Bay ferry terminal.

Great setting and location, excellent suite and the breakfast was fabulous.

Very quiet and great breakfast owners very friendly

Nice place. Nice family. I would happily stay there again.

Fairly average B & B. Super close to Departure Bay. Helen is really nice & prepared a great breakfast. Would have preferred an early time but she was not flexible.; it was offered only for 8:30 am. Great choices for entrees including lots of yummy fresh fruit. Coffeemaker & fresh grounds in our room was appreciated. Luckily I always travel with 1/2 & 1/2! Our accommodations were pretty dark & damp but the floor heaters helped a lot.

There is lots of room at this B&B so you can make yourself feel at home.

Quiet natural setting close to walks with friendly owners

I stayed in this B&B for one night over the Labour Day weekend, while visiting a son and daughter-in-law in Nanaimo. My reason for selecting it was its proximity to my family but I quickly realized I had found a hidden gem. The B&B is run by two very friendly and helpful sisters; the accommodation is excellent and spacious (with private entry); the bed comfortable; the food tasty and the location is quiet but close to Nanaimo amenities. I highly recommend staying here!

Lovely place. Well taken care of accommodation and personal needs by owner. The building is Set back off treed road with stone gateway. Still, Hard to see the place driving by. Missed it in the daytime. Made sure to return in the evening before dark or I would not have been able to find the entrance.

Maple View, situated in a suburban type neighborhood, has no particularly impressive features. However, it is an excellent place to stop. The units, which are entered separately from the main house, are small but very nicely finished. The design reminds one of Westin rooms. They are absolutely spotlessly clean. You order breakfast in advance from a menu selection. I had the full English, and it was just that. Eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, toast, juice and, if you want it, also cereal and fruit. The preparation was better than most restaurants. I spent most of my working career in senior management in the resort industry and currently travel very heavily for pleasure. We usually stay in boutique hotels at a more expensive price. I can recommend Maple View without reservation. It is basically a very professionally run tiny hotel.

The hostess was friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable however, it was extremely noisy. The room assigned to us (room L) was under the main level of the house and we could hear the owners talking, the children dropping things on the floor and the dogs barking. The noise kept on going past 10 pm. We were awoken at 2 am by someone who dropped something upstairs and again at 445 am by a child crying. Not ideal before our long drive back to the ferry in Victoria. The area is nice and quiet and if it was not for the noise, we would have considered going back.

This home is located on a gorgeous property and close to Oceanside parks in Nanaimo. We only stayed one night but it was great for our needs. A few things to note for others: you do dine in the main kitchen for breakfast and most likely will share the table with others. There are two large dogs on the premises but we love large dogs!! Just to note for others if you are afraid of doggies. They keep them under control but they do like to protect their property:) Our room was great, bed was comfy and Helen was awesome! She is so accommodating and wants to ensure everything goes as planned for you. You will not regret this choice!

Nice stay, great breakfast and hospitality. It is also most convenient for catching the Departure Bay ferry over to Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver (which was what we did). We would certainly stay there again.

We stayed here only 1 night the host was very friendly and when she knew we wouldnt be there for breakfast as we had an early ferry to catch she bought down breakfast supplies so we coukd have something before we left i found the pkace vlean quiet and comfortable and its very close only a few minutes to drparture bay which was handy

Helen, the host is wonderful. Not to overbearing, but is there when you need anything. Room is a bit smaller than I expected, but it was perfect for what I needed it to be. Quiet neighborhood and quite household. Ample parking. Breakfast was delicious! Room was exceptionally clean and bathroom had a heated towel rack and body wash in the shower! This was just as clean, if not cleaner than a hotel!

Helen and Kathryn took great care of us while we were there. Helen stepped above to contact me after we forgot a necklace in the room! Don't let their dogs un-nerve you :) They are kept secure but their bark would be uncomfortable for anyone who is afraid of dogs.

Friendly hostess, interesting garden, comfortable room.

Quaint house in Nanaimo. The breakfast was of superior quality. The heat was off in the room when we arrived and it took a long time to warm the room up.
