What a delightful and calming stay! Inn the Estuary is absolutely gorgeous, with so much wildlife and excellent views right outside your patio. Harold was such a kind and attentive host, and even offered to fill our tire for us when he noticed it was flat! Clean, quiet, and so close to anywhere you’d want to explore! 10/10 experience!

What a rare find. The Inn is located in a secure and quiet estuary, and it’s not to be missed. We were surrounded by nature in a wonderfully decorated suite. We saw eagles, bats, beavers and so many birds… Harold is a wonderful host. Can’t wait to go back!

Peaceful retreat

My second stay in the Lagoon Suite at Inn the Estuary was just as wonderful as the first time. It's furnished like a high-end hotel room but also has a small, but adequate, kitchen. I'll definitely be back.

Couples getaway

We spent 2 nights in the Lagoon Suite. It was lovely! The bed was very comfortable, and the suite had all the basic necessities. The outdoor was very relaxing. It was enjoyable to watch all the birds on the patio, and the beavers in the evening. The host Harold was very welcoming, and wished us well on our departure. We would certainly recommend this place to others!

Beautiful getaway

This was located in a beautiful peaceful area- we loved the nature and the variety of birds we saw outside the windows. It was close to a lot of trails and forested areas. Harold was an amazing host - very helpful and friendly. You can immediately tell the pride he has in his inn and had lots of tips to enjoy the area. The suite was very comfortable and well laid out. We would definitely recommend anyone to visit for a great peaceful getaway. We will be back for sure when we come out to the island!

We love coming back to the Lagoon Suite at the Inn on the Estuary. Harold always greets us with an update on the birds and wildlife in the area. The lovely gift for guests was a beautifully painted mandala stone which I will use at my desk at home. The purple beautyberries were a spectacular sight in the fall foliage.

Peace of Serenity

Excellent location. Very central and easy to get to Parksville, Qualicum and Nanaimo close by. Beautiful property and meticulously maintained. Property owners live on site and are super sweet and helpful. Unit was immaculate and well kept. They thought of every detail and well supplied. Laundry on site. Great spot. Highly recommended.

Waking up to a beautiful sunrise, with the sound of many different species of birds singing, having a fresh hot coffee on one of the beautiful decks. The air is fresh and crisp! The property is absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Laundry on site, all the hot water one could want, a fantastic jacuzzi overlooking the lagoon. Falling asleep to the chorus of peepers. Anyone looking for a piece of tranquility moments away from beautiful township are missing out if they don’t book here. The owner is extremely attentive and welcoming. Celebrating our 10 year anniversary- this was the perfect place. We will DEFINITELY rebook on our next visit to the island.

The “Wow”factor

From the moment of arrival right through to when we finally had to leave this property we enjoyed every moment… we will return and recommend for sure…! The views offered at the estuary made you say wow every time you stopped to look out the window or even more when enjoying the deck area or the private tub on our patio. Breathtaking and serene and relaxing all rolled into one. The host has appointed the suite and design things remarkably well… Tiny little amenities that you wouldn’t even think of to the basics were done very well and with design in mind. We were not left wanting for anything. Our interactions with the host were extremely pleasant, informative and just pleasant conversation… As mentioned, we will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at The Lagoon Suite! The room was exactly as advertised and Harold met us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. The view was amazing for a peaceful and relaxing stay and the jet tub was the icing on the cake. Whether sitting in the tub during the day watching the wildlife or at night listening to the frogs it was a tranquil experience. We would highly recommend and will definitely return for another stay.

Beautiful property. Check in was so simple - code sent ahead of time and all seamless. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was well equipped for all we needed - breakfasts, lunches etc. Everything was fabulous - and the host was right there if we’d needed anything. We’re hoping we’re lucky enough to come back!
