Our stay in House On Dunbar B & B was accompanied by a feeling like coming home. Joanne every morning prepared a delicious and healthy breakfast. She supplied us with much information on Vancouver and was very helpful on planning our day-trips.

The House on Dunbar was a perfect home away from home during our 2 weeks in Vancouver this autumn. The location close to Pacific Spirit Regional Park was ideal for many walks in the nature and served as a relaxing compliment to the many trips to the city centre. Joanne was very helpful and accommodating, and we thoroughly enjoyed her... More

Then the House on Dunbar is a good second choice. Joanne treats guests more like friends or family than as a hotel guest. The breakfasts are very tasty and can be adapted to your own needs and personal tastes. The location is convenient to the airport and UBC, and is in a very pleasant neighborhood that abuts Pacific Spirit Park.... More

My youngest daughter and I spent 2 nights in the 2010 Suite while moving my oldest daughter into her student rental. The location is ideal- 5 minutes from UBC and 15 minutes from downtown/Granville Island. Joanne was extremely friendly and accomodating, the room was immaculate and lovely, and the amenities were wonderful. As for the breakfast- it was fabulous/gourmet quality-... More

I really enjoyed my stay here! From the moment I opened the beautiful front door to relaxing in the lovely garden the next morning. My bed was so comfortable and the room was very clean. I'm a young Kiwi Living in Australia and the waffles with Canadian maple syrup and raspberries for breakfast were a real treat. Close to cafes... More

The owner has done a very good job of retrofitting her home to accommodate guests. My suite on the second floor was cheerful and bright with a very comfortable bed and attractive bathroom. The kitchen in the walkout lower floor was essential for my needs, and had a nice sitting room with computer desk. Mrs. Renwick, the owner, was friendly... More

Well, this place does the three important things: - very good breakfast - comfortable bed - easy contact and any service you need It is a bit pricy, but more or less the Vancouver standard price range. If you dislike ordinary hotel life and like close contact to locals Canadian, thats the place you will have to go for. You... More

I am happy that you chose House On Dunbar as your location to relax. Vancouver has the second highest real estate prices in the world; this is reflected in the pricey accommodation rates. This location has been my home for 30 years. I find it very pleasant also. Thank you for your visit. Joanne More

While in a very pleasant neighbourhood, this home does not seem to have been renovated with guests comfort im mind. Two of the "suites" and the "social areas" are on the lower level (half height below grade) & are cold & damp. The surfaces everywhere are hard, which robs any chance at coziness & makes for a noisy ambience (including... More

House on Dunbar provides very good quality B & B accoomodation in a residential area of Vancouver. Once you get the hang of the local buses (with a stop very near at hand) there are good connections downtown and to the university area where the great Museum of Anthropology is situated. Mrs Renwick is a helpful host and provides a... More

Joanne was a fantastic hostess who all but made our trip! She was so inviting as well as accommodating. It was very obvious that she was busy most of the day, as she had two other rooms full as well with other guests and is the only person working. That being said, she often took the time to come down... More
