Private carriage house close to lakes, parks, hiking and downtown Nanaimo.

The Westwood Carriage House

Welcome to The Westwood Carriage House, a cozy, completely self-contained guesthouse, separate from the main residence, with its own private entrance. Whether you’re visiting for a family getaway, a couples’ weekend, work, or a local event, it’s a comfortable place to settle in and explore Nanaimo.

The space
Our two-bedroom carriage house sleeps up to six guests, with queen beds in each bedroom and a pullout couch in the living area. Enjoy a full kitchen with a dishwasher, a full bathroom with a bathtub, laundry, two parking spots, and your own outdoor space. After a day out, unwind with your favourite shows on the smart TV with streaming.

Perfect for enjoying nearby Westwood Lake or exploring the hiking and mountain biking trails around Mount Benson. You’re minutes away from downtown restaurants, seawall walks, recreation centres, ferry terminals, and seaplane connections. Nanaimo Airport is approximately a 20–25-minute drive away, and local bus routes are nearby.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the entire self-contained carriage house and its outdoor space. The carriage house is separate from our main home, with a private entrance and keypad for convenient self check-in.

Two parking spots are available, one directly in front of the carriage house, with additional parking parallel to the street.

Other things to note
The carriage house is on the same property as our family home. Our backyard sits behind it and is separate from the guest space. We have a child and a friendly dog, so you may occasionally hear everyday family activity. We’re mindful of our guests’ privacy and comfort and will keep backyard noise to a minimum during your stay.
