RELAX, BE INSPIRED HAVE FUN IN THIS SAVVY SEAGULL SUITE, THE ISLAND'S GETAWAY

Come relax, create or base your island excursions from this fully appointed two bedroom suite retreat.

Located in one of the quietest, prettiest, most convenient locations in Nanaimo; it is the home of resident host Ray Patrick.

The suite was purposed with your comfort and carefree stay foremost in its preparation. Complete with luxurious bedding, fluffy pillows, heated floor bathroom, tub/ shower, spa quality toiletries, cushy robes and slippers.


Your kitchen is fully appointed with a full size fridge, stove and all you'll need to create your favorite meals. If you don't feel like cooking then adventure out to experience some of the many fine dining restaurants which Nanaimo has to offer.

Your suite includes a spacious living area with gas fireplace, flat screen HDTV, cable with many viewing channels, Wi-Fi, area maps, brochures, games, books and puzzles.

Also a washer and dryer are in suite, for your convenience.

Enjoy relaxing on your private covered deck with ocean, mountain, and forest views, after you’ve taken in the sights and sounds of wonderful Nanaimo.

There are many beautiful parks, lakes, places to visit in Nanaimo less than 15 minutes away.

The property is not by the beach, but you’re a couple of min drive to one of the most popular parks, “Neck Point Park", which is right across the street. [Note: Photos of the beach and sunset are taken from Nick Point]

Many people enjoy hiking up to the bluff there and watching the breathtaking sunsets. You may catch sight of a pod of orca or dolphin swimming right by you as you gaze and share a bottle of your favorite beverage. It’s such a romantic, place we feel lucky to live here. "Pipers Lagoon Park" and "Linley Valley Park" are just minutes away drive. Bring the swim suits, snorkel, kayak, boat and fishing rods for your own marine discoveries.

Nanaimo has all the shopping amenities you’ll need, and lots of excursions you can take, including a trip to Mount Washington for skiing just over an hour away. With its central location, Nanaimo is a perfect base point for other trips all over the island.

Savvy Seagull is an adult oriented guest suite, though children are welcome. Ask owner about its suitability regarding the age of your children.

Unfortunately, sorry but the suite is not wheelchair accessible. There are 28 stairs to descend to get to the suite.

The hosts live up stair and have pets of their own, therefore your pets are not able to accompany you in your stay.

Savvy Seagull is a smoke free environment. Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the premises.

Welcome to your island getaway. I look forward to making your stay a “SPLENDIFEROUS” occasion. Ray

Beautiful hideaway
This property was lovely. It faces the water, it’s completely private, and access to all that Nanaimo has to offer is convenient. Our hosts were friendly and unobtrusive, and we all enjoyed our stay. Our boys loved the fireplace and the opportunity to watch the sunrise from the deck.

Beautiful stay with Ray
We had a fabulous time on Vancouver island, love the scenery, the beach in walking distance and of course the great accommodation. Everything was well equipped, our host Ray went out of his way to show us more and supplied us with additional gas for our grill when we needed it. I can absolutely recommend the accommodation in Nanaimo.

Great location!
The check in process was simple and the property was clean and spacious. The location is walking distance from Neck Point park which is a beautiful area. All other amenities are a short drive away. This was the perfect place for us to base our stay and start our excursions in Nanaimo!

Quick Getaway
I am in BC for work and had to stay over the weekend so I took the ferry from Horseshoe Inlet to Nanaimo. The ferry is easy and an enjoyable ride. The Savvy Seagull was a great place to stay. Very clean and the fireplace made it feel very comfortable in early Spring. Ray was very helpful and accommodating to my late check in. Thanks for everything!

Home away from Home
We came to Nanaimo to see relatives. After a day of touring, it was great to come back to the "seagull", to relax and recharge for the next day of sightseeing. The proximity to Neck Point also gave us a chance to exercise. We'd book this property again if we come back to Nanaimo in the future.
