Set in Nanoose Bay, Tyee Beach Oasis Bed and Breakfast is a recently renovated accommodation, 31 km from Nanaimo Bastion and 31 km from Newcastle Island Marine Park. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Petroglyph Park is 36 km from the guest house. I really valued the retreat like qualities of this stay. You can tell is was really thought out for comfort and relaxation. I was hoping for a mini-vacation on the island and staying here made the trip. It was a wintery, wet weekend but the space was cozy and comfortable and close to some great places to drink coffee, eat and just take-in the coast.
