Highly recommended. This property boasts an entire apartment for the guests. It is private and relaxing. Yvonne and Bob are the perfect hosts - charming, witty and welcoming. Yvonne should have Michelins star, as she cooks the best breakfast on Vancouver Island. Incredible attention to detail with regards to all aspects of your stay. We were made to feel very welcome and even joined our hosts and their friends for dinner at a local restaurant one night. There’s plenty to do in the local area and lots of choice for good restaurants. We were stopping off in Port Alberni as part of a road trip from Victoria to Tofino. It was the perfect break en-route. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts.

The accomadation with all its little details, the freshly baked goods as well as a great breakfast and last but not least the very welcoming hosts made it feel like home away from home. Thank you so much Yvonne and Bob.

Unfortunately we only had 2 nights

We had the whole cellar for us. It was decorated with so much love and so many lovely details. The breakfast was absolutely incredible and changed everyday. We felt so welcome. Everything was clean and tidy. All in all it was super comfy. Should we be in the area again, we will definitely book our stay again at berkies. The jam as a giveaway was such a nice and perfect gift.

We are spoiled now, other hotels won't compare to berkies

Everything, we loved the space, the homemade breakfast and cookies, but most of all the hospitality of Bob and Yvonne. We would definitely recommend this b&b.

No negatives!

A wonderful stay in a spacious and comfortable home with two of the best hosts that any traveller could hope for. If you're staying in Port Alberni and this place is available you shouldn't hesitate to book. Breakfast is delicious and the room itself is extremely well-kept/comfortable.

Nothing

Everything, Yvonne and Bob are wonderful host. Kind and always available to make your stay enjoyable. We were surprised of the space for us. It's so big, it feels like to be in your own appartment. The breakfast was delicious too. I would highly recommend to have a stop to Berkie if you wish to visit Vancouver Island. It feels like it's home

We spent three nights at Berkie's and it was wonderful. We had a warm welcome. Yvonne and Bob were very helpful and gave good advice on what to do in the area. Yvonne's breakfast was absolutely amazing!!! They are the best hosts we ever had! 🥰

Stayed in July 2023

The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Daily home made sweet treats were a nice touch.

Yvonne and Bob were the best hosts you could wish for - they were so welcoming and keen to help and impart their wealth of local knowledge. The quality and variety of the breakfasts Yvonne provided was excellent, and the morning chats with Bob were very entertaining indeed!

Can't think of anything that could be improved upon.

Breakfast excellent and different each day.

Couldn't fault a thing, we had a very enjoyable stay. Next time we will come for pleasure instead of for business.

The hosts were exceptional in anticipating everything you might need to enjoy your stay in their very cute and comfortable BnB. Staying for a couple of nights, we enjoyed two very delicious breakfasts not to mention the sweet treats waiting for us in our suite. The space has a tranquil West Coast vibe and is extremely comfortable

We were very warmly welcomed by the owners. The accommodation consists of a whole apartment in the basement and was super cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast really blew us away. It was not a buffet but freshly prepared by the owner in the kitchen. Apart from that, we could enjoy every day new cookies in our apartment and we received even homemade marmalade as a gift. What we didn't expect at all, but made our stay unforgettable, was the fact that the husband gave us a little sightseeing tour in the area. We also received many helpful tips for other places and restaurants worth seeing. We would stay there again anytime and highly recommend Berkies. Thanks for making our stay a whole story on our travels!

The accommodation is excellent with very good furnishings, plus it is immaculately clean. The lounge area is large and the dining area has microwave, coffee maker, kettle and fridge. Breakfast was lovely - all home made! Yvonne and Bob are perfect hosts and couldn’t have done more for us. Bob took us to Stamp River, where we saw bears fishing and loads of salmon jumping up the waterfalls. We even got a ride to a local restaurant. Such hospitality!

Not in particular. Maybe too clean so afraid to make a mess.

Room is spacious, actually too much room for one man stay. Everything needs are there. Nice and comfortable living room. Super clean so that even be hesitant to make a mess. The owner are nice and friendly.

You need a car to get around. Lots of beautiful sightseeing places are quite far apart.

Great place to stay! Would absolutely recommend anyone to book. The owners are great people, who will give you a very warm welcome. You have all the privacy of a basement room, and its very spacious. Highlights of my stay; breakfast (you don't need food for the rest of the day until diner) and great recommendations for sightseeing in the area (I even got a personal tour to the salmon river).

We really enjoyed our stay here and felt very welcome, Bob and Yvonne are great hosts! The accomodation is very spacious, nicely decorated, clean and it is very well equipped with tea, coffee, a fridge and so on. The breakfast was delicious! Bob also gave us great tips on what to do around Port Alberni and the Tofino region. We followed his recommendation and went to see the Stamp Falls, where we were able to see salmon juming up the waterfall, really cool! We can only recommend this B&B!

There is NOTHING bad to say … everything was perfect!

Yvonne and Bob are wonderful ! They provided us with many suggestions of things to do. Breakfast time in the morning was absolutely perfect! I recommend to everybody.

There are a few steps to go up and down, but that was quite minor.

The accommodation was on the ground level and we had our own large sitting room and dining area with tv. A nice bathroom with good shower and a lovely big bed. Great breakfasts and different each morning. Yvonne and Bob were very helpful on activities to do.
