Welcome basket of local goods awaited us on arrival that encouraged us to find the winery for tasting more of the local wines.The kitchen was supplied with all dishes, pans and utensils that would be needed to cook any meal. Coffee and teas provided and even milk in the fridge!

The suite is bright, clean and spacious. It is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to shops. The hosts have thought of everything. There was a wonderful welcome basket with wine, granola and chocolate, as well as milk in the fridge and lots of tea and coffee. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking and dining. They provided informational brochures about the area. The bed was comfortable and there was a fan to keep you cool on warmer days. We had a great stay.

What a cute little place! This was the perfect home away from home. We arrived to a welcome basket with some wine it. The space was bright and clean. The bed was super comfy. I didn’t think I’d use the laundry but I did! Next time we need a place in Duncan, this will be the first place we check availability!

Amazing property and hosts!
This property was even better then it appeared online. The suit was modern and very clean. The location was in a safe and quiet neighbourhood. Fully stocked kitchen and all the toiletries you could need. There was even a beautiful welcome basket left for us. The hosts were also very kind when we lost the key

Excellent Stay
Friendly owners who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Inside the clean, well equipped unit with everything one needs was a basket with snacks, sparkling water and a bottle of wine awaiting our arrival along with a litre of milk in the fridge, coffee pods, sugar and tea. Their is also a separate parking spot. Louise and Paul made this a place to return to when we come to Duncan.

Perfect choice
This suite is modern, incredibly clean, and well maintained. The kitchen is new and well equipped and the bathroom also new with great storage. The bed is queen sized, and the duvet and sheets wonderful.
I was most impressed by the lovely welcome package, that made our first few mornings a delight.
The only negative would be the lack of a view, but this was perfect for the season and our length of stay. The unit was still very bright.

The area around Duncan is beautiful with more opportunities to enjoy , discover and participate than we expected. We will be back.
The property was as advertised. Great location in town. Nice quiet neighborhood. I was there 26 days and I enjoyed it very much.
The Hosts were very nice, friendly and easy to deal with. I would recommend the place to anyone.
The suite has everything one could want. Laundry, full kitchen, even a welcome basket.
It is newly built, well furnished and extremely clean, perfect for my 3-day stay.
The hosts are lovely too!

Fabulous Stay!
This is my second stay at this vrbo and I really love the place. It has everything I need to make it feel like a home away from home when I have to travel for work. The place is bright and warm and feels safe. Hoping to stay here again when I am back in Duncan.
Everything we needed, clean, well kept and great location. Hosts left a great box of local snacks and lots of pamphlets detailing things to do in the area.
