About Poet’s Retreat
Your peaceful three-bedroom executive home away from home.
Our Story
Poet’s Retreat is a large 3 bedroom/2 bathroom fully-furnished home away from home. It is located in the beautiful city of Nanaimo, centrally located on Vancouver Island. Nanaimo offers gorgeous beaches, loads of hiking, mountain biking, and festivals and is a perfect home base for traveling up and down this amazing island. The Nanaimo Parkway/Hwy19 Inland Island Highway is literally a 2-minute drive away, making for easy access up or down the island. Explore Tofino (2.5 hours), Parksville (30 minutes), Saltspring (45 minutes to the Crofton Ferry), Victoria (1.5 hours), and anywhere in between.
Perfect Location
Poet’s Retreat is located in a quiet neighbourhood in central Nanaimo that is bordered by Buttertubs Wildlife Sanctuary. In addition to this peaceful trail, Bowen Park is also within walking distance. Also a short walk to VIU, the Aquatic Centre, and the Ice Centre. A perfect home for when you’re visiting the city for work, working as a digital nomad and wanting to get a taste of island life, moving to the island/house-hunting, etc. Bike paths are right outside the front door and can take you up to Westwood Lake (with all of its mountain-biking network), to downtown and its restaurants, etc. We are also less than a 15-minute walk to the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH).
Private & Comfortable
The main entry brings you into a large dedicated office space and stairs to the main living area above. You will have the full top floor in addition to the main entry/large office space. While there is a separate tenanted suite accessed off to the right side of the house, you have a fully private entry and there is no interaction with the tenants below. Your own private driveway parking is provided and will accommodate 2 to 3 cars/trucks.
