About this property

Railway Road Bed& Breakfast Shawnigan Lake, BC, minutes walk to lake.

This quaint house was moved onsite in 2001 from Crofton and raised up in 2004, adding an 850 sq ft. lower floor. The house is on a secluded road, Radway, which borders the old E & N Railway and the Old Mill Park on Shawnigan Lake. Easy walk to the beach on hot summer days and with a concrete floor this lower suite is always cool. Minutes drive to two other local beaches, Masons and Government Wharf (boat dock also), as well as boat dock on Recreation Road, minutes away. Room to bring your boat to this property. Twenty minutes from Cowichan Bay and Duncan. Ten minutes to Mill Bay. Minutes drive to Shawnigan Village, St. Johns Academy and Shawnigan Lake School. Langford in Victoria 30 minute drive.
Two bedrooms, separtate entry. Full kitchen has toaster oven, hot plate and microwave instead of oven. Continental breakfast is extra charge and optional. One king bed, two singles. Bright and cozy.

It was a quiet place that made you feel you were in the country in the woods (not forest). It was easy to get to the lake.

The house fit our needs perfectly. We brought our kayaks for both the lake, and the coastal waters. Teresa was a great host and made sure we were well taken care of. We went to the Shawnagan Lake Museum and many of the local stores nearby as well. Thanks for a terrific stay.

Walking into this house was so nice after the other place we had stayed. Walking in the door was like walking into my own home, instant comfort, it was quiet and relaxing to sit outside. My sister was so excited to see a deer last night. We have no complaints and I would highly recommend to anyone that this would be the best place to stay. We would definitely stay again on our next visit.

Teresa went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. She answered my texts promptly if I had a question. The unit is well supplied with big and small appliances (except an oven/stove, but there is a hot plate, a microwave and a toaster oven). Lots of coffee & tea provided as well as kitchen supplies (dishes, cutlery, glasses, plates, trays, pots and pans, etc.). Clean beds. Very quiet area and short walk to a nice little beach. It was a nice place to relax. Close to restaurants.
