About this property

Private suite located on the garden side of our home

Trailside Villa Suite is located in an upscale area in our City of Duncan BC Canada. Our suite is private , with a key lock entry. You will not share the space with anyone else. We have approx 400 sq. Ft. of living space for the unit. There is a private bedroom with a queen bed and also a double sofa bed in the sitting room. The quests are happy with the 4 piece bathroom , as some like to soak in the tub at the end of a big day. The little kitchen area has all the essentials for a microwave meal, coffee, tea, toast etc. The suite is on the garden side of our home where you will enjoy our pond , bushes and flowers as well as your private outside deck which is very peaceful . We are close to the hospital, grocery stores, laundry mat, restaurants and pubs. Duncan is situated between Victoria BC and Nanaimo BC , and is therefore a perfect destination for all your day trips and sight seeing adventures. Have fun touring Vancouver Island.

Clean, quiet and well appointed. We loved sitting on our little deck in the garden having coffee in the morning and a glass of wine to unwind at the end of the day. It was perfect and we will be back!
A private little deck for us to enjoy was a highlight!

Thank you Sylvia for leaving me such a nice review. I do know your stay was not a holiday as you had to nurse your relative as well as attend a funeral so I am so happy you felt calm and warm here, in your garden suite. Please come again when you can relax and take in all the wonderful places to visit on our pretty Island. Berta Schneider

Our host was extremely nice. The gardens are just beautiful. We had lovely weather which always helps, but it is a lovely place. The suite is extremely clean and well-appointed and the bed was comfy. We would definitely stay here again. Duncan is a fun little town with good restaurants. And….the mountains add to the trip.
