Liked: The breakfast was excellent. The property is quite secluded and peaceful. A great place to go for a relaxing stay. No dogs barking and no kids during the week. Not a party place, no restaurant for lunch and dinner, no bar.

Despite some drawbacks, Kiwi Lodge...

Liked: We were a group of 17 people, ranging from a 16-month-old child to a 79-year-old senior, and we all had a great experience at this hotel.The facility is very clean and well-maintained, and it's conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from the Nanaimo ferry terminal. The rooms are spacious and spotless, providing a comfortable stay for everyone.The breakfast was excellent, especially considering the hotel's affordable price. However, it’s important to note that lunch and dinner are not available on-site, so you'll need to plan accordingly.The hotel is situated in a quiet area with a lovely atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the beautiful backyard, which is filled with kiwi trees. Overall, it was a fantastic stay!
Disliked: Although the hotel is just a 2-minute walk from the lake, it's not suitable for swimming or for children to play. For a proper beach experience, you'll need to drive to Transfer Beach, which is about a 10-minute drive away. Transfer Beach offers good swimming opportunities, excellent kayaking, and a great playground for kids, making it an ideal spot for families.Additionally, if your room is on the second floor, be aware that there is no elevator. Not all rooms have portable air conditioning; instead, they are equipped with ceiling and portable fans. Refrigerators are not available in every room, but there are some in the hallways for guest use.Please note that even the two-bedroom suites do not have a kitchen or kitchenette, so consider this if it’s important to you. Also, there is no pool or hot tub on the premises.

A serene escape from the...

Liked: Very idyllic property that will help you reconnect with yourself and the beautiful world around you. Just a short drive from restaurants, stores, and Transfer Beach park which offers many fun activities in the summer including live music, food trucks, and the fireworks.
