Any recommendations as where to stay near the Tsawwassen-Duke Point ferry? We will only be staying one night in late September.

There's the Coast Tsawwassen Inn:

If you arrive there with a few hours to spare in the afternoon or evening, be sure to check out Centennial Beach. One of the nicest beaches in Greater Vancouver, especially at low tide.

The only other option in the area are B&B's:

You could stay also at the airport if the reason you're staying overnight in the area is because you're flying in late--it's not far from the ferry terminal.

Which side will you be staying on, Nanaimo or Tsawwassen?

We are actually flying into Seattle, renting a car and driving into Canada to get on the BC ferry the next morning (more crossings that fit our timetable) hence the inquiry on overnight accomendations. We have reservations for a house rental for a week in Bowser Beach. Thanks for any sugguestions.

Better look att another post on this site about Thrifty no allowing rental cars into Canada anymore...
