Dear Ingvar and Ania, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality last week while we were looking for a house in Nanaimo. It was a stressful week, but knowing we were coming back to your welcoming, relaxing B&B every evening made things SO much easier. We especially enjoyed your wonderful breakfasts, Ania, and our conversations, laughter and good times... More

We really enjoyed our one night at the Pine and Picket in the Provence Room. Hosts are very friendly and eager to please. The room and guest lounge are lovely, and the breakfast is fabulous. It is within walking distance of two waterside pubs and a nice restaurant. We will definitely return if we visit Nanaimo again. More

Our stays with Anita and Ingvar have been exceptional. The accommodations are wonderful; very tasteful and extremely clean, the breakfast....just amazing. In both regards, for personal travel or for business, a very good place to be! My husband and I highly recommend the Pine and Picket and we both look forward to staying at the Pine & Picket again.

'Food glorious food' is a famous song, but in this case it happens to be true! All the previous reviews are spot on, we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the wonderful hospitality given by Ingvar & Ania, and yes the food was glorious. Location was great as it's minutes walk from the ferry terminal, we didn't have a car and... More

The hosts are friendly, entertaining and welcoming, the home is warm and inviting, the rooms are immaculate and comfortable and the service is impeccable. I was in Nanaimo for three days to visit my daughter who is enrolled in the... More

My partner and I stayed at the Pine and Picket late November 2011. Ania and Ingvar catered to us beyond our expectations. We had a travel emergency with a cancelled float plane, which Ania and Ingvar handled with us immediately. We felt being with family and very safe on all levels. My father was a renowned chef in Switzerland therefore... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our 3 days at the Pine & Pickett this October/November. We felt very welcome by our hosts, appreciated the quality of our accommodations and were very impressed by each morning's breakfast. This is quite honestly the best breakfast at a B&B you may ever experience. Add to it all we enjoyed Nanaimo and Vancouver... More

My husband and I found this treasure a few years ago. Our stay with Ingvar and Ania was our first experience with B&B's. We were amazed with the comfort and ease of spending time in someone's home that we didn't know. In fact, very quickly we found ourselves feeling like we were staying with long time friends. Their home is... More

Stayed 2 nights in this homey feel B&B by mid August. It locates just a block away from the Ferry terminal so it’s good for foot-passenger like me. Love the quiet residential neighborhood & the great view over the water from the 2nd floor balcony. Enjoy very much the relaxing easy walk to downtown along the harbor walkway, as suggested... More
