It was very clean and ready for our stay, no issues at all. Hosts were very prepared and friendly. Only would have liked a small side lamp for a side light instead of just having a very bright main light overhead to turn on.Otherwise a really lovely place to stay!

The bachelor suite is perfectly suitable for 2 people, Queen sized bed and ample space for lounging. It is small yes but it’s everything you need while exploring Cowichan bay and relaxing by the ocean.

Excellent location for a chill getaway in nature. It’s so peaceful here! The birds are absolutely magical. Close to town and right on the water with all amenities. Couldn’t ask for anything better! Highly recommended!

Beautiful location

This one room bungalow with separate bathroom was perfect for an overnight stay. The view was amazing from the little deck off the back. Great food just a short walk away. My only suggestion would be black out blinds and being able to turn off the fan on the ceiling.

Communication was good.Our reservation was for two but the room only had accommodation and amenities for one, eg, one single chair, one very narrow shelf screwed to the wall (table??).

Thank you for staying, the amenities for cooking, bathing & sleeping (queen sized bed) are all for two people There’s a desk and chair, two end tables and the bed is set up with large lounge pillows so you may use that for watching television, reading or conversing etc. the pictures are very clear as to the size of the unit, the write up mentions bachelor suite multiple times but can accommodate two. If there was an issue during your stay I would suggest reaching out to your host next time as I was literally on the property for your entire stay and would have been happy to accommodate your requests. Sorry it wasn’t to your liking.

Cowichan Bay stay

I really enjoyed my stay at Cowichan Bay in Danielle's guest house. The suite was quiet, nicely decorated, cozy and comfortable. There is a private sitting area with a partial view of the marina. I enjoyed hearing the sealions on the doc in the morning. The town is lovely with an excellent coffee house and bakery steps away. And a handful of options for lunch and dinner. I'd stay here again for a weekend getaway.

Perfect!

I can’t say enough good things about our stay. The room was perfect and the sheets!!! Yall…I went home and purchased the same ones. It’s all in the details with this place. While you’re here, buy sure to go on a whale watching tour with Ocean EcoVentures, grab a drink and some crab cakes at the pub and everything for the Cook and Butcher is phenomenal!!
