About this apartment rental

We are located minutes away from both Nanaimo and Ladysmith in the Nanaimo River area, and minutes away from great biking and hiking trails. This suite has a private entrance, private outdoor area and access to a private lake shared only by 5 other homes on the lake.

Our one-bedroom lower guest suite has high ceilings, and plenty of windows for a gorgeous lake view. Take a park like walk through the backyard past a waterfall and pond to the sand beach where a dock is ready for you hang in the sun watching the dragon flies flitter about, take the pedal boat out, paddle board around the lake or cool off with a refreshing swim. We have life jackets available for use.

Should the weather not be compatible with a swim, the canoe is available for an afternoon cruise, the decks are a great place to spread out your yoga mats, and the dock is a great place to sit and read a book. Should you choose, the wood fire pit will be available to you along with pokers for a wiener or marshmallow roast. ( baring any fire ban in the area) There are plenty of nature walks around the area and great spots to take photographs or do some sketching or painting.

The suite has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher , microwave, refrigerator and stove. All amenities are stocked so you need not worry about a bottle opener or wine glasses or even serving bowls if you want to snuggle in front of the TV and have popcorn.

    Dragon Fly retreat is a beautiful place on a small, quiet, non motorized lake; perfect to relax and unwind. The hosts thought of everything, beach towels, paddle boards, and ample cooking equipment. We really enjoyed our stay and spent most of our time lounging on the deck chairs on the dock. Life is good!

    Beautiful property, so peaceful. We had a relaxing stay. We had the lake all to ourselves along with the Bobs (the three beavers) and otters. Jodi and Randy were super accommodating. My 9 year old loved hunting for frogs.

    A very well-kept gem that invites you to rest and relax, while also being a great destination for trips in the surrounding area. Many small details in the garden and by the lake have been lovingly arranged, so there is always something new to discover. A very attentive hostess had provided a welcome basket with treats, as well as thoughtfully stocking the refrigerator with water. She was very attentive and made us feel very welcome. This marked the beginning of an all-around successful stay at the Dragonfly Resort, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We highly recommend this accommodation!

    This was a lovely and spectacular place for us. Quiet, clean, beautiful setting. Jodi and Randy were welcoming, friendly, and so very helpful. Loved the lake and especially the nesting Pied-Billed Grebes. Would love to return if we find ourselves in the area again.
