Loved the location. The hosts were excellent!

We were lucky to stay on a night when many guests wanted the host to cook. They served a delicious French Moroccan meal, served family style in the galley area of the boat. It was a wonderful experience and well worth the money. The host and hostess were friendly and helpful. The rooms were as expected, small with bunks, because that is the experience we wanted - to be on this old sea vessel.

Wish we had longer there.

The tug was fabulous, such a unique experience. Enjoyed meeting, and hanging out with, Bouchra, her husband Daniel and her sister on the tug and dancing with locals to live music by the water. Unfortunately we arrived too late to partake in dinner and left too early to get our breakfast the next morning due to taking the Lady Rose Marine sailing to Bamfield. (Which was wonderful too) Great location to catch the boat, a few minutes walk away.

Most unique and engaging

Meals great, prepared by Morrocan chef. Hosts are very engaging. Truly unique setting and facility.

The matresses were quite sunken in. The room was very small, which is understandable due to being on a boat, but it was hard to move around and we were unable to store our luggage.

Great location, amazing hosts and amazing breakfast.

Liked it all.

Unusual location and unique experience of sleeping on a boat, very clean, comfortable and the owners are friendly, worldly and engaging. The Moroccan food was soooooo good.

It was a beautiful and unique property on a tug boat! They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The breakfast was also amazing:)

The views from the boat are exceptional, and the attentiveness of the hosts makes visitors feel very welcome. The accommodation is comfortable.

Great nautical experience, room was cozy, setting was beautiful and breakfast was delicious, would visit again!

Our cozy cabin grew a little sruffy on the warm night we were there (we were at sea level despite being in the middle of Vancouver Island), but our cabin had a small fan that would have aided in some cross ventilation had we remembered to turn it on.

Breakfast was amazing and will be something we try to reproduce at home. The room sizes are cozy, not large, but this is a tug boat! Mattresses were great. The experience was especially memorable because we were able to take advantage of being there for the Moroccan dinner (not offered every night). Truly a highlight of our week-long trip to Vancouver Island. We will talk and reminisce about this experience long into the future.

Right in the heart of the action. A very comfortable bed and kind & flexible owners.

There weren't enough days to enjoy their company.

The facility was perfect. The host and hostess were amazing. Felt right at home. You have to try the moroccan food. Simply amazing.

Hospitality over and above expectations. We ate out but shared a bottle of wine with our hosts on returning to the boat. Doo Pent a great evening laughing and getting to know each other. Amazing breakfast cooked by Bouchra. Would recommend Dan and Bouchra’s hospitality to everyone

Swept Away is a unique and wonderful place to stay. Dan, Bouchra and her sister were warm and gracious hosts.

My husband and I stayed two nights on the floating inn while visiting our friends in Port Alberni. It was out of curiosity that I booked this floating B&B. What a uniquely awesome experience we had! Daniel and Bouchra are caring friendly hosts who are passionate about what they do. Bouchra even accommodated our request to make dinner for us and our 3 local friends on her otherwise off day! She explained all the ingredients and spices she used on her delicious and healthy dishes, she truly cooked with her heart. The room was small but the beds were comfortable. Swept Away Inn is a hidden gem, we will for sure return again.

Nothing to dislike - there is the reality of it being a converted tugboat, so the sleeping and living spaces are relatively small.

The hosts were extremely nice, personable, and hospitable, made you feel well taken care of. The B&B&B (Bed & Breakfast & Boat) was very cool, a unique experience with both world history or personal passion built into it. Gem of Port Alberni for sure; highly recommend for a stay or dining.

Location was excellent and our hosts were friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel like we were welcome. Breakfast was included and was a great way to start the day. Unique lodging on a former tugboat moored at Alberni Harbour Quay.

If you like ships and the sea, this is a must to go place. Very special. The hosts are very kind and make you feel very welcomed. Very good and freshly cooked breakfast. Even though it´s not a bargain, compared to the prices in Tofino it´s still very good value for money and you can easy go for and back to the coast on the same day. Don´t expect the sapce of a 5star hotel, it´s a ship ;-).....

we lived everything!

This property was unique! How often do you get to stay on a 1940s tugboat which was used as a minesweeper during World War 2!

Breakfast was delicious

This was more of an experience then a night's stay and I loved the experience. The breakfast was awesome and our hosts felt more like they were family. I unsure sure at first, but I was so glad I choose to stay on board with them.
