About this property

The Haven - Maple Bay's Premier Getaway

Nestled on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, adjacent to the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s beautiful Garry Oak Preserve, sits the stunning "Haven". An exceptional, one of a kind five-star accommodation, that combines Modern Furnishings and Antiques sourced from around the world, this is a true "Modern Farmhouse" like no other.
The huge cedar deck overlooks Quamichan Lake and pastoral fields where wild deer are a common sight; old growth covered mountains rise in the distance. The magnificent Garry Oak tree groves and the “Haven” are only minutes away from world-renowned bike and hiking trails and the best Bird Watching to be found on Vancouver Island. The Haven additionally offers email concierge services Mon-Fri, 10am-5pm, to assist with activity suggestions, reservations, and to provide local expertise. This retreat has it all.

A three-minute drive from both the ocean and the beautiful hamlet
of Maple Bay, this 2000-square-foot retreat features a Chef's kitchen with brand
new appliances, a huge open living/dining room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and
a library/games room. The Haven takes in 2000 square feet of a magnificent country estate home; remaining 4500 square feet separate and owner occupied. The retreat has been designed to comfortably sleep six.

Home away from home
We stayed for 5 days so that we could attend my son’s wedding. The Haven provided us with a very comfortable home for the days surrounding the event. The location is perfect being just 10 minutes to the restaurants and food stores of Duncan .

Peaceful retreat
My wife and I so enjoyed our brief stay in this beautifully appointed, comfortable and relaxing accommodation that is large enough and well-laid out to accommodate two couples or a family. It is nestled in a rare Garry Oak meadow and we were treated to great sunset views of the surrounding rural landscape from the deck.
