The Maple View Bed & Breakfast has been highly recommended in one of the travel guides on Simonseeks.com.  The guide is called “Vancouver: island idyll” and was written by one of their travel professionals Hanna Lindon.  Hanna is a full-time journalist and travel writer, who has had her work published on the web, in national newspapers and in news-stand magazines.  In her guide she describes the Maple View Bed and Breakfast as:

“a family guesthouse set high on the hills above Nanaimo and run by a friendly family of British expats. As it turned out, my preference for intimacy paid off this time: the location was simply spectacular, with far-reaching views of the sea in front and the mountains behind; the beds were the ultimate in feather-stuffed luxury; and the owners, Sue and Peter Hardie, were charm personified.”
