Xanadu 1 Suite - 2 bedroom Luxury on 11 private acres

"For he on honey-dew hath fed and drunk the milk of Paradise" (Xanadu - a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Enjoy your luxurious, two bedroom or one bedroom private suite for less than the cost of a B&B. Our beautiful self contained suites are on a private 11 acre estate in the heart of the Cowichan Valley. You will overlook the dawn on SaltSpring Island, hear the eagles calling, and relax in your own piece of paradise.

Sit with a glass of local wine, ease into a recliner, watch unlimited Video on Demand movies.

Wander outside to meet the friendly bunnies, birds and deer. Enjoy the warmth of the outdoor fireplace. For fitness folks, there is a trampoline; for the rest of us, comfy lounge chairs.

Stroll down the tree lined driveway, and come to Arbutus Ridge Golf Course, whose entrance is truly just across the road. See how many golf balls you can find en route.

Enjoy world class gourmet dining at the many close by wineries, pubs and seaside eateries.

For your convenience, there is a front load washer and dryer, coffee and tea provided, and outdoor lawn barbecue. All guests receive a complementary bottle of Xanadu Estate wine.

The Xanadu 1 Luxury Suite sleeps 5. It is a two bedroom suite with a queen bed, and three twin beds. Xanadu 1 comes fully equipped with a wall mounted flat screen TV, stereo, Apple TV, and Netflix.

This suite has a private entrance that opens out onto the garden area.

For those seeking to escape Winter; Xanadu Estate is in the Cowichan Valley, which means the WARMLANDS, the highest annual temperatures in all of Canada.

Short term 5 night stays have a cleaning fee of $45.00. Weekly to monthly have a cleaning fee of $100.00. Monthly stays have a cleaning fee of $145.00. Your suite will be very clean for you!.

Friendly & Clean

The on-line photos are confusing because they include a few different suites all mixed together so it is not possible to determine which suite is being booked by the photos. A good place for families with children but for a quiet couple with 2 large dogs it wasn't suitable. There are cream coloured wall to wall carpets in the suite (not pet friendly) and the entrance door to our suite was directly into the master bedroom so no privacy if someone is sleeping and others want to enter and exit the suite. Our suite layout was not well designed with no light or windows in the kitchen or livingroom and we could hear the cats running and people walking across the floor above our bed. Also, the Netflix and Crave TV sites were mostly unavailable.

Well equipped suite in beautiful surroundings

Very nice and clean accommodation on a beautiful estate in a very lovely area. No private outdoor space, but friendly and helpful neighbours and owner. I can only recommend a visit

Great place

Great hostess, fabulous place, spotless and comfortable furniture and its well stocked. Quiet. The only down for me was that it was a bit far from Victoria, but I enjoyed staying there regardless.

Wonderful Xanadu Stay

We had a very nice stay in one of the Xanadu suites. It was a very spacious, nice suite. The kitchen was well appointed--really the whole suite is! On top of having a very nice little apartment, the grounds are so beautiful and relaxing. Jane is very nice and helpful. The location is so nice we would have been happy to sit outside and enjoy the grounds, sounds of ducks overhead and views, but we were busy visiting relatives. I would highly recommend Xanadu if you are looking for a place that will provide additional amenities beyond a standard hotel along with a nice get-away location.

Beautiful property. Quiet and peaceful. Bunnies, deer and birds galore.

The four of us enjoyed relaxing in the a suite. We were able to cook, eat out side on the private patio and enjoy our Victiria wine.

Nice place

Overall I would rate this a good place to stay. Rooms were nice and beds were comfortable. Kitchen is functional, but note there is only a hot plate and toaster oven for making simple meals. Host was very nice. Much much better than a hotel room. I can easily recommend the Xanadu Estate for someone looking to stay near Victoria. We toured Butchart Gardens (definite yes) and the Royal British Museum (pretty good also) in Victoria. Also bring swim suits as there are beaches to the north on the east side of Vancouver Island that can make for good swimming and wading. Rooms were clean and the property was well maintained. Owner provided good customer service.

Beautiful quiet place to stay but still near to Victoria and other sites on the Island

Xanadu Estate was perfect for our (2 adults and 12 year-old son) accommodation on Vancouver Island. The place was very clean and well maintained. It was a really nice touch for the owner to provide a bottle of wine upon our arrival. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with necessary utensils and cooking pots. There was a two-burner hot plate, toaster oven, and a full-size refrigerator. We used this location as our headquarters for exploring Vancouver Island. It is about 30 - 40 minutes from Victoria, 10 minutes from Duncan and 4 hours from Tofino. It is an hour drive from the Swartz Bay ferry dock. We visited Victoria (twice), Chemainus (check out the murals and the Twisted Sisters Tea Room), Tofino (great Whale Watching, check out Tacofino for good eats), Butchart Gardens (amazing!). There is a well stocked grocery store about 10 minutes away in Mill Bay - Deloume Road (there is a Timmy's, McDonalds, two gas stations and banking at this location as well). After a busy day sightseeing it was so nice to come back to a quiet relaxing place to put up our feet. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family!
