Great location on the Cowichan River. Nicely updated room with great kitchenette and comfortable bed. Charming bathroom with exposed brick chimney. Central location and walking distance to shops and parks. Riverfront patio off the room. A great place to stay.

We had a great stay at this cottage. It was very clean, quiet, and well-maintained. The location was excellent with easy access to everything. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and both the BBQ and fire pit were clean and in great condition. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended to everyone!

Beautiful property with everything we needed in our suite!
Quiet, central location that has lots of space for everyone. Clean and tidy suite that was fully stocked.
We loved our stay. Clean and quiet. Had all we needed. Air fryer, hot plate, pot, pan, dishes, microwave, coffee maker, etc. Comfy bed and pillows, plenty of towels, hair dryers etc.
Loved having the grill to make some steaks, loved the firepit (that someone else had lit and had going), and the view could not be beat.
Thank you!

Amazing! So beautiful.
We went for two nights to see if we wanted to plan for a week there. We will be booking for one week next year! Beautiful aesthetic. Loved the hammocks, games on the lawn and the fact that one end of the dock is protected by rocks from the river so you can walk around or float without ending up in the river. Loved the air fryer and induction cook top in the kitchen. Very friendly staff. Great lighting outside but just need one for the patio table so that you can play board games there. Thanks!!!

Riverfront and amazingly clean
The cabin type room with a small kitchenette, table, couch, and bed all in the same room was extra clean and great for one night. The bathroom was one of the cleanest ever!
I was worried about the shared backyard and river area but the only other guests we saw out there were quiet and friendly.
The only reason for 4 stars is the lightweight bed frame. While the mattress was comfy, the cheap bed frame is not going to hold up to the weight of a couple who weigh more than a combined 300 pounds
