Narwal B&B

A lovely B&B in a stunning location, Cathy is an absolute sweetheart and I would recommend this stay to anyone. So welcoming and hospitable, beds very comfortable and rooms very clean and cosy. Shared bathroom kept clean and ample amenities. Breakfast provided, toast and some delicious mini quiche. 

We got a last minute booking here when we had had enough of 'off the grid' living for a few days.  This place is cozy and warm and super central to Old Town and the galleries. Bonus its on the water and Cathy the great host has an outfitting business so you can rent canoes and kayaks and take classes in both.  Great home cooked breakfast, clean, crisp linen, hot showers and lots of interesting guests.  Highly recommend.

This lovely cosy place deserves much more than its present ranking.
We went for aurora in Yellowknife and were certainly not disappointed.  While within walking distance to both New Town (20+ minutes) and Old Town (10 minutes), its proximity to the lakeside and quiet and dark neighbourhood makes Narwal the ideal location for aurora viewing and photography, literally from the window of the room.  (We were staying in Polar Bear Suite.)  It was freezing cold for us in March, and we virtually waited, with lights out, inside our room until we saw glimpses of green before putting on our downs to run out for ideal photographic positions.  We have the entire lakeside to ourselves, except we did hear noises from distance (probably from Bush Pilot's Monument) who like us were astonished at the sight of the dancing curtains of aurora in green and purple.  We stayed for three nights and were lucky enough to see aurora on two consecutive nights.
Cathy is an excellent host, who happens to be a great chef too.  (Very yummy homemade breakfast.)  Naughty dog Benny had always wanted to go out.  Make sure you keep him in.  : )
The attached kitchen is only simply equipped with an oven-toaster, a microwave, a kettle and a coffee-making machine.  No open fire.   The nearby NWT Brewery (5 minutes on foot) was an excellent choice for dinner. 
Taxi from/to airport was CAD$20 one-way.
I whole-heartedly recommend.

Very friendly and helpful host, with simple but delicious breakfast. My favourite part of the B&B is the lake view and location. You can view northern lights in the room (facing the lake), or just step out of the house and see it from the lake. If you're going there for the aurora, that's all you need.

This casual B & B is in a perfect location for northern lights viewing. Situated on the shores of one of the smaller lakes in the area you just have to step out the door for star and aurora gazing. Cathy is a very friendly and approachable host always eager to provide an extra homemade treat for breakfast. Old Town and not to forget the NWT Brewery are only a short stroll away.

The Narwal B & B is located in Old Town and it is very convenient to go anywhere in Yellowknife.  Restaurants and galleries are within walking distance. The bus stop is about 10 min walk from Narwal.  
The host is warm and friendly.  We came in winter and we were pleasantly surprised to see an igloo outside the B & B.  Cathy, the host, and her son built it!  We had the opportunity to sit in the igloo and warm ourselves.
There is a varieties of beverages and snacks available in the kitchen for guests! There are toaster, microwave, refrigerator, coffee percolator and a small oven.  Juice and cereals available too.

We saw the northern lights in Yellowknife but not from the B & B.

In summer, there are a whole lot of activities which the host offers. It maybe a good time to return in summer and try the other activities .
