Nestled on the shores of Long Lake in Nanaimo, Berwick on the Lake offers a retirement experience where nature, comfort and community come together. With panoramic views of the water and Mount Arrowsmith in the distance, residents enjoy unparalleled Island tranquility.
“There’s something special about being so close to the water,” says Kristine Newman, community relations manager at Berwick on the Lake. “Whether it’s sipping coffee on the patio or enjoying a lakeside walk, the connection to nature is undeniable.”
Beyond the beautiful scenery, Berwick on the Lake offers a blend of luxury and natural beauty in a limited number of lakeside and garden patio suites. Spacious layouts, large windows and thoughtful details like walk-in closets and modern fixtures create a welcoming home-like feel.
“Our lakeside suites offer the best of both worlds—luxury and comfort in a setting that feels like an escape from the everyday,” Newman says. “It’s a chance to wake up to breathtaking views and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of nature, all while being part of a vibrant community.”
A worry-free, all-inclusive lifestyle
Residents have everything they need to enjoy their day: air conditioning, heat, hydro, classic cable TV and internet are all included, along with freshly prepared meals crafted by Red Seal chefs.
With weekly housekeeping, linen service, access to the Berwick Bus, about town car service and 24/7 emergency response, residents enjoy peace of mind and a smooth, worry-free daily routine.
The dedicated Active Living team at Berwick offers a variety of fitness classes, social events, and entertainment, giving residents plenty of opportunities to pursue new hobbies, rediscover old ones and make meaningful connections with others.
“Retirement should be inspiring,” Newman says. “We aim to offer experiences that bring joy—whether it’s through a fitness class, a creative workshop, or an evening of live music.”
