Rixlandia...Country Living at its best!

Bright and spacious with East facing sunrises, all brand new appliances in this recently renovated suite. Climate controlled environment so it's always cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

This suite is spacious with a large open concept living room and kitchen. The two bedrooms are located at the far end of the suite; if one person wants to get some rest, the others can still have fun on the other end!

Perfect for couples wanting to get away for a change of scenery and create new memories, unwind and relax in this country setting. Or bring a few of your friends to have a fun little getaway and reconnect. Lots of large serving platers and dishes to make this a space you don't want to leave, just bring all your food and beverages and enjoy. This space is perfect to spread out and have fun in. Enjoy the BBQ for outdoor cooking.

Large patio up front to enjoy. There is more furniture in the summer out front than in the winter. We have included both winter pictures and summer pictures so there are zero surprises or disappointments once you arrive.

Absolutely no smoking indoors but we do have a lovely designated smoking area and also 420 friendly: please just use the ample front porch outside is all we ask. Enjoy yourself and the scenery without having to hide away.

This is a basement suite that does not feel like one. There are windows on 3 sides of the space. Very bright with country views out of each one. There is a frosted glass partition behind the couch that we use for storage if you're wondering what is behind the glass, there is pictures included so you can see what we are talking about.


Must Love Dogs! We do have a couple well behaved dogs, you most likely will not even notice them and the entrance to the suite is totally separate, but we feel in a full disclosure type of way you might hear the odd bark or two.


Cleanliness and sanitation is a the forefront of our minds. All hard surfaces are sanitized between each stay and linens are washed in high heat sani cycle for your peace of mind.

no water
DID NOT STAY, My sister went to go stay and the daughter of the owner said they had no water , that we would need to ration what we did with it. She did not know when the water delivery was coming. I rented it because it was near to my daughters wedding and all people needed to shower, and get ready. Had 3 people one night and 6 the next night. My sister called me at the wedding venue and said that it was not okay due to the water situation. I called your office and spoke with Amere he called the venue and she confirmed the water situation. I asked him if he could cancel the reservation and could we be refunded, he said yes. I have spoken with your company many time first case # was 130084467 then we got 130641951 from Nicholas. Please get my funds back to me A place with out water needs to state that water is and issue. It is also a safety hazard. I still see no email from your company.

We enjoyed our stay at Rixlandia. The property owner lives at the location and was very flexible regarding our arrival time. We enjoyed a "night in" with a fully equipped kitchen. It was a very clean accommodation at a very reasonably price. Thanks

Lovely place!
We had a short, one night stay at Ricks place. Rick was super friendly and check in was easy. The place was clean and the beds were comfy. We loved the patio and spent as much time as we could sitting out there listening to the local birdlife, including the neighbours chickens. We had everything we needed to make a nice dinner, although oven mitts would have been handy. There was a fair bit of traffic on the road nearby when we first arrived, but it quieted down as the evening wore on. Great stay! Would stay again.

Perfect in every way
This house was the most comfortable, beautiful and the cleanest we have ever stayed in. The bedrooms were roomy with plenty of storage for our things. The beds were very comfortable and made with clean comfortable bedding. The bathrooms were spotless and equipped with everything we needed. There was plenty of seating area for everyone to relax and watch tv. The kitchen and dining area opened up to a lovely , intimate and cozy outdoor sitting and dining area. It was the perfect place to relax and eat and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our host welcomed us warmly and was always available to us to answer questions and any requests. Rick is well versed in the lore and history of the Island and we learned a lot more from him than anything we had read. Rick’s suggestions on towns to visit, places to explore and fabulous pubs to dine at gave us a more intimate experience. Of the island. I cannot recommend this house and Rick’s hospitality enough. It is the perfect get away and we definitely plan on returning again.

Nothing fancy, but rural location, accommodations and personalities all easy to get along with and fit the bill for our needs. Good spot to explore the Cedar Point environs south of Nanaimo!

We only had a short stopover at Rick's place during our roadtrip, but everything was wonderful. The apartment looked like the pictures and we even had an AC to keep us cool. If you stay here, you are surrounded by pure nature and wildlife. Thanks Rick for welcoming us into your home!
