Kiwi Cove Lodge

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!

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.

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.

The bathrooms are a little outdated and the shower was squeaky.

So well looked after, landscaping was meticulous, walking trails well maintained, I want to come back here!!🤗 s

Amazing grounds, impeccably cared for. Clean and cozy room.

Small fridge and microwave in a shared space instead of each room - should be stated a bit more clearly on the site.

Beautiful setting on treed land with multiple trails to enjoy the garden and ocean views. Quiet, peaceful, serene. Friendly, helpful staff. Excellent buffet breakfast in an attractive dining room. Comfortable beds and large bedroom with balcony and view.

A v minor point but more USB and electric outlets would be helpful for charging various devices such as phones, hearing aids, iPads and so on.

Breakfast is exceptional. Staffs are professional and very helpful

A lovely peaceful location with extensive grounds and a lovely view of the ocean from the bottom of the property. Decent breakfast . Recommend the Crab and Crow pub for dinner. About 15 drive away

The grounds of the hotel were so beautiful and the staff was so accommodating, I would highly recommend staying here, it was so peaceful.

Loved the location, orchard and view from the room. Our room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Staff were kind. We enjoyed the included breakfast.

The room could have been dusted and wiped down more throughly.
