This was a fun and unique option for accommodation in Port Alberni.

I felt so uncomfortable being there. Nothing as indicated on hotels.com website is how the property actually was. It was not mentioned that you would have to shower a bathroom and shower with guests in 5 other rooms. The rooms were tiny with no AC and some of the most uncomfortable bunk beds I ever stayed on. The doors have no locks. The hosts ask you to go to your room at 1030 and not make any noise. I had to leave as I felt super uncomfortable especially with half naked people going from shower to rooms and since doors can’t be locked or closed everything was visible. On top of it town closes at 7pm with nothing to do afterwards plus highway is closed for next few years making it impossible to access property. Booked two nights asked owner for a refund of 2nd night and he said I had to discuss with Expedia and then he pulled out his machine to charge me. Extremely disappointed with this property as nothing from website is realistic of property. They offer breakfast so we mentioned we were leaving early just to get on highway before they closed and never offered anything to bring with us.

The Tug boat is such a neat experience to try, with amazing food and cute cabins to stay in. Daniel and Bouchra are outstanding chefs, and very accommodating.
If you have any motion sickness, this is not the adventure for you. Even docked, I did not have the sea legs for this lovely boat. My husband and son did very much enjoy the stay!

Bouchra and Daniel were amazing hosts. Staying on a tugboat was quite the experience. It was well decorated, clean and welcoming.
Breakfast was delicious! We will definitely stay there again.

Probably in the top 10 of unique lodgings in western Canada. 2nd visit, this time I brought my 70 yr old mother. She loved it.
Leave your 5star hotel comfort and yacht expectations behind for this 100 yr old Tug boat. Rooms are as pictured.. tiny and not a lot of space. Shower and toilets are clean and shared. Breakfast is deliciously local produce and unique. The hosts are gracious, accommodating and eager to make your stay comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back for a third stay and you shouldn’t hesitate to experience it for yourself.
Re: the review from Elaine.. this reads like someone who had unrealistic expectations, constructed a fantasy in her head and failed to review any info of the accommodations. When she discovered her fantasy was not matched with reality, instead of adjusting her expectations she took it out on the hosts. Having stayed numerous times, I find her review ridiculous, petulant and absurd.

I would not recommend it!! Upon arrival our lady host was full of attitude. The property was poorly kept up. The room itself was very small, no room for our luggage. Beds were were more for children. We were suppose to have dinner, no dinner. Not enough booked, so they canceled n never told us. When asked, she said take it up with her husband. It was very disappointing. We were looking so forward to the whole dinner n drinks n sleeping on the Tug boat. Just a whole disappointment. We stayed at another hotel last minute. We could not get our refund back, cause of that day of cancelation. Which I believe swept Away didn't live up, with what n how they advertise. We should of gotten a refund or half of it back.
I would not recommend, this property.

This was the highlight of our mother-daughter trip to the Island! She’ll always remember the time we slept on a boat.
Hosts were lovely - that unique combination of warm/welcoming and yet professional… gave us plenty of space for quiet reflection on the deck. And what a beautiful view of the harbour from there!
Other guests were quiet, it’s not a party boat, which suited me fine. The hosts also pull the steps in and lock the gate at night, which made me feel that my teen daughter and I were safe while sleeping.
Before our stay I was worried a houseboat would rock too much as I’m prone to motion sickness, but it barely moved. I was also worried that I would barely sleep on a boat bunk, but the bed was so comfortable, I slept like a log.
Coffee was ready when I got up, breakfast was home-made and delicious. They even accommodated my need for gluten-free, which was a pleasant surprise.
I would absolutely recommend the Swept Away Inn!

This is a 100 foot completely renovated tugboat. Absolutely gorgeous! The owners are amazing people and so down to earth. Talking with them is like enjoying speaking with friends you've known for years

Fun idea to have a B&B on a tug boat. This was my first B&B experience so I do not have much to compare it to. The owners were very nice and welcoming. If you are social and an extrovert this is the place for you.
However, the one issue was there is a curfew of 11:00 pm, which I was not aware of upon booking. If I would have been made aware of this I would not have stayed at this B&B, so I felt I was misslead. I haven't had a 11:00pm curfew since 1985.

Good experience with charming hosts. We enjoyed a drink in their cozy seating area sharing stories and their insider knowledge of the area. Accommodation was rustic as expected on a tugboat. Booked room with private shower which unfortunately wasn't working. Breakfast was amazing and suitable for vegetarian diet.

My stay here was very much what I was looking for. The experience was great from the start.
The warm and inviting welcome from hosts, the clean and freedom of space to use and the beautiful location where the boat is docked to my departure sent off with an amazing breakfast. It was very magical. My new place to stay over and over.

It's a unique bed & breakfast on board a renovated tug boat afloat in the Harbour. The French-Moroccan cooking is delicious, and eating at the shared table with the other guests gets some fun conversations going. Look forward to staying there again next year!

Unique experience staying in the boat, which is right at the harbour. Great view around. However, the room is extremely small and be aware the washroom and shower is NOT in the room - they are shared with all hotel guests and whoever dining at the boat.
Very nice breakfast included as well as free parking.

Had a wonderful one night stay on the tug - super cute and well maintained boat. The best part however was the hospitality of the hosts - really friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately we couldn't get dinner on the boat the night we were there but if breakfast was anything to go by it would be worth going bavk for dinner!

Price reflected by you did not match that of the property owners! Even though it stated $140.00 per night, I was charged a total of $237.00. The cleaning fee of $30.00 was extra, I had salad for dinner with a shot of Zambuca that cost $20.00 extra, plus taxes totaled $237.00. Customers need to be warned that unlike staying at a hotel and pre-paying for it upfront where there are no other surprises; the property at Swept Away is different! They said that you did not collect the one night’s stay from me and so I had to pay everything the morning I left at 7:30am! We need to know that in the future!

When we arrived we were told to be quiet as there was a gathering going on in the living/dining area, even though we were paying guests and check in already applied.
Sitting areas were crowed, our room was tiny.

A very unique experience with gracious hosts who made me feel so at home. Excellent breakfasts, and wonderful food available for dinner as well if desired. In terms of facilities, it was perfect for me as a single traveller but might be less perfect if I wanted to travel with friends, as a boat is less spacious than a hotel room if one wishes to share expenses. However on this occasion it was delightful and I would love to return - thanks, Bouchra and Dan, for a very special weekend!
