About this property

The Golden Unicorn ~ Luxurious Boutique Getaway

Welcome to The Golden Unicorn; an inviting adult-only retreat created to inspire magic and offer a chance to relax and reconnect. Our goal is to provide a premium vacation experience with character, charm and something a little different.

Our property offers a newly renovated guesthouse full of whimsy and little luxuries. The space is the perfect home base for a romantic repose, to chill out, or traipse about wine country. Come enjoy Oliver's world-famous Okanagan wine, sunshine and beaches!.

Located in the heart of Oliver boasting over 50 wineries within a 10 minute drive! The Golden Unicorn is just minutes from Tuc-El-Nuit Lake and walking distance to downtown Oliver. Come explore The Wine Capital's semi-arid climate and take in Oliver's stunning mountain views! We're just a 5 minute drive from The Golden Mile Bench & Black Sage Bench and 8 minutes from Oliver's District Wine Village.

You'll love the privacy of having the entire ground-level carriage house to yourself, while enjoying all the luxuries of a high-end establishment and more. You can rest easy knowing you won't be bothered by noise-transfer as you'll be enjoying your own fully-detached unit! We pride ourselves on our exceptional standards. Enjoy freshly-pressed, Egyptian cotton sheets upon arrival and many more hotel-inspired details.

We are now offering year-round hot tub access, which will be reserved for your exclusive use during your stay. The hot tub is located in the courtyard, between the guesthouse and our residence on a half acre parcel of land. Our guest's privacy is important to us! Rest assured, unless you are looking to talk to us, you won't see us walking your way!

You will love the spacious 625 sq.ft. open floor plan with a generous kitchen and new appliances. Professionally cleaned, and equipped with automated blackout blinds at the touch of a button. You will feel right at home in our well-appointed kitchen! Freshly renovated with all new appliances: retro-style fridge, dishwasher, 4 burner stovetop, microwave and farmhouse sink. Have a seat at the bistro table and enjoy a freshly baked homemade treat!

The sleep of your dreams awaits you:

~Supportive & hypoallergenic, certified organic latex queen-sized mattress with memory foam pillow top, CertiPUR-US® certified and free of any harmful chemicals
~ Freshly pressed 100% cotton fine linens & 100% sateen weave cotton bedding
~ Ethically-sourced down & merino wool moisture-wicking duvet
~ Plenty of plush pillows and extra blankets

We offer coffee two ways: Keurig coffee maker, Bodum, kettle & teapot. Complete with a full bathroom with top-notch water pressure, organic peppermint & eucalyptus body wash, and Giovanni Eco-Chic shampoo & conditioner. Indulge yourself and spend the evening in a luxe bathrobe. Easily adjust the temperature in any weather with our split air conditioning unit/ heat pump.

Put your feet up in our sophisticated lounge complete with a plush velvet sofa, classic leather armchairs, smart T.V., and even a Super Nintendo! We supply everything you could ever need to create amazing meals inside, or on your private grill just steps from your door. Any cooking utensils, pots, pans, oil, vinegar, cream, butter and basic spices are provided, as well as a variety of complementary snacks.

The space also functions as an art gallery for my guests with a selection of original art for sale currently featuring pen & ink unicorn drawings.

We offer ample free parking just minutes from the Area27 racetrack featured on "The Grand Tour" S2E10. With enough space to accommodate trailers, boats and race cars you will sleep soundly knowing our parking is surveilled with the option to close the gate at night.

There is a wealth to discover here in the South Okanagan! Are you a bird enthusiast? Having a Big Year? Be sure to check out our local outdoor bird sanctuary on Vasseaux lake as featured in "The Big Year".

You'll love exploring the magical semi-arid landscape, with plenty of hiking to enjoy in the area. Wander amidst the sagebrush and hike down the Golden Mile Stamp Mill trail and KVR trail. Mount Kobau offers breathtaking views sitting 1800+ meters above sea level. Mahoney lake ecological reserve is home to an array of birds and wildlife and is a wonderous sight to behold, with rolling meadows of yellow balsamroot flowers in the spring.

Make your dream vacation a reality here, at The Golden Unicorn ✨️.

What a wonderful place this was. The reason that my rating is low is because this is property was inaccurately listed as a 1 bedroom, but it’s only a bachelor suite. My stay required a 1 bedroom.

Spacious suite - great decor and well stocked kitchen
We spent 3 nights at the Unicorn suite. Loved the decor and so much thought has been taken in organizing and stocking the suite (one of the best we have stayed in) A very nice welcoming drink and treats. The automatic blinds worked amazingly. Would be nice to have a private seating area in the back yard - which is huge and a lovely setting with views of the mountains.
