Warren and Janette Matthews maintain a quiet bed and breakfast with a view to die for. Graycliff is far enough from Lantzville Road to be quiet and has its own pet eagles who are fed by Warren after a very good and hearty breakfast. The rooms are comfortable but we spent most of our time taking in the views of... More

Stayed one night at Graycliff in August and couldn't be any happier for our choice. The ocean view was stunning and overall, the location for the house is beautiful and peaceful. After the long day we relaxed in the jazuzzi watching stars which was just perfect. In the morning Warren made us blueberry pancakes which kept us going late until... More

Great place to stay, Warren and Jan have quite the property and to witness the Eagles having a morning breakfast just after we had ours was awesome. We stayed for a couple nights in July 2010 and 2 nights this July of 2012. Have not experienced a better stay anywhere. This last stay we brought our two adult sons, they... More

We were lucky enough to stay 2 nights at Graycliff at the end of July. The experience was nothing short of amazing. From the most spectacular views to the comfortable Oceanview room to the great hospitality from Warren and Jan, this was just a perfect stay.

Our clue to this excellent B&B was the directional sign located on the highway that pointed us in the direction of Lantzville Road. Whilst our Garmin sat-nav was busy 'recalculating' we had already arrived at the front door, much relieved to see a vacany sign on display. The welcome by Jan was warm, genuine and friendly. We had to to... More

We stayed at Graycliff in June and were very impressed. We didn't see much of Jan, but Warren was a wonderful host - his knowledge of the island made our tours much more enjoyable. Our room (the Ocean view) was very comfortable and the view was beautiful. Warren also proved himself to be a great breakfast chef. We were touring... More

We had stayed there about 10 years ago and remembered their hospiltality, view and the eagles. Each night we relaxed in the hot tub watched the sky grow dark.

We stayed 4 nights with Jan & Warren and were treated royally. The weather wasn't great and so we were their only guests. Warren grew up in the area and has a lot of local knowledge and we were eager to "pick his brain" for things to do and see while were in the Nanaimo region. He provided us with... More
