Stayed 3 nights and and loft was perfect for us! Leslie was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed! Will stay again if we are in the area.
My husband and I had a lovely stay at the barnacle loft. The place is very cozy with all the necessary amenities. The newly added BBQ on the deck was a great addition. The area is extremely peaceful, lots of birds around the property, great neighborhood walks and nearby beach access. The host is very lovely, she came to meet us a dinner time. The attention to details is quite noticeable and truly makes it a home away from home!
After traveling to many places and staying with many wonderful hosts, we would like to extend the same enjoyment of our local area to other visitors. We look forward to meeting you!
This Madrona Point area neighbourhood has a âpeaceful, easyâ feeling of rural living. Only steps from local access to beaches where you can go for a swim, launch your kayak or paddle board, or dive in the Madrona Dive Park. A favourite area for cycling and walking, or a short drive to hiking trails and Rathtrevor Beach Park makes for great exploring in beautiful island surroundings. We are within the Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, making wildlife and bird watching top picks in our area. Note: We are in the Regional District of Nanaimo and are not affected by the new provincial Short Term Rental legislation.
