Fantastic weekend
We had a very relaxing stay here! But we noticed the thermostat did not seem to work, and there were cobwebs on the ceiling and in the corners of the walls. Other than that, all the amenities were fantastic, and we loved the location and appreciated the little things that made the place feel like home!
This apartment is a just about perfect. The unit is brand new, lovely decorated and has all the best fixtures and appliances. It is in a beautiful secluded area a short walk to a quite beach and short drives to popular area beaches. The ferry in close by Mill Bay takes you on a short trip to Buchart Gardens or you can drive to downtown Victoria in 45 minutes. The surronding area also has many interesting towns, parks and trails. We definitely plan to go back next year.

Beautiful place to stay!
A great space, roomy, clean and inviting. It was well appointed, with everything needed to ensure a comfortable stay. The setting is idyllic, with a beautiful yard, great walks and wineries nearby, access to the beach just down the road, and so much to explore in the Cowichan area. Cole and Danielle were excellent hosts, offering suggestions for places to go and things to do and even helping us to print a document we needed. Above and beyond!

Fabulous Contemporary Apartment
The apartment is super clean, very nicely furnished, comfortable bed and pull-out sofa bed, quality linens and towels, fast wifi, and in a lovely quiet location. We slept so well! The host has thought of everything - coffee, soap/shampoo, etc. The kitchen is very well equipped and we made hearty breakfasts and enjoyed dinners at local restaurants. We enjoyed walking to the beach and the local hiking trail. The host is very helpful and gave us some wonderful recommendations. Great stay for exploring the area and convenient to Brentwood College and Shawnigan Lake Schools. Thank you Cole for a terrific stay. We'll be back!

Quiet get away
This suite in the bottom of a house was convenient, quiet and spacious. Very clean and with lots of extras like laundry, coffee ( drip or French press), tea, writing materials and lots of charging capacity. Bring cream, milk etc. There is a very excellent food truck down the road that serves a mean breakfast sandwich after 10, BBQ lunch and supper. Short drive further to a nice pub in town. We would come back for sure.
Beautiful property, close to the ocean, everything you need included.
