We enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and comfortable. Delightful host. Good location for access to hikes and good restaurants. Hot tub was a hit with our kids. Frogs seranaded us when we were outside in the evening.
The entire experience of staying at this Guest House was fantastic; even the weather cooperated! Mike is charming and it was a treat to meet his youngest daughter at the winery. The accommodations are modern, bright and well decorated. We especially liked the artwork and wondered if the signature R belonged to Robin.
My family and I had a wonderful stay! The property is lovely and just as pictured! We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the patio in the mornings and evenings. The hosts were kind and helpful. Will definitely be back!
Perfect peaceful vineyard setting. Excellent wines. Great view. Beautifully furnished. Close to many local beaches, museums, and the excellent Mad Dog Crab Seafood Market and the amazing True Grain bakery in Cowichan Bay. Have some fun and explore!
The instructions for access were very good; we might suggest a light or arrow or sign at the 'sharp left turn' along the entry drive to indicate the direction of the guest house.Guest binder explained everything very well. Everything was very clean. The location is wonderful; quiet and lovely views.
Fantastic place and better than expected. Peaceful and relaxing within just a few minutes of Duncan. Walking to the vineyard tasting room from our suite was a really nice experience. Would definitely stay again.
This was the perfect location for a little R & R over my birthday weekend. Very clean space, friendly host, nice hot tub, and incredible views. Would recommend!
We always enjoy our stay at Emandare. The place is always clean, great view, great vibe. It's always nice to get a complimentary bottle of wine and to catch up with Mike in the tasting room. We're already looking forward to our next stay up there.
A wonderful place to stay. Very fresh and welcoming inside and out. The central location is a perfect starting point for daily adventures all around the Cowichan Valley. We can highly recommend the guest house as it's one of the very best VRBO's we've ever stayed at.
This VRBO exceeds the pictures. It is incredibly beautiful, charming and comfortable. It is in a great location, with it being a short trip to Duncan where all the amenities of a larger centre are located. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a tranquil and scenic stay, with an incredible view!
This is the cutest little getaway, a short drive from Victoria or Nanaimo. It really feels like you're away from the city, the view from the hot tub is amazing. Great spot for couples or a getaway with friends. I would love to stay again one day!
This was the perfect getaway to celebrate my birthday with some friends! Three moms needing peace and quiet away from busy life! We found this spot absolutely lovely, tranquil and really appreciated the little touches. From local coffee and soaps, to lovely furnishings and wine! Just what we were looking for!
We had a wonderful time at your rental and everything we perfect. Gorgeous inside and beautiful property. The hot tub and view made it even better! We will definitely be back sometime!
The purpose of our stay was to visit wineries in the Cowichan valley. The guest house at Emandare winery was absolutely perfect in all aspect. It is so beautiful, comfortable and the perfect location to visit the area. We highly recommend the guest house.
We had a wonderful stay at the guest house. We spent most of our time biking and the location was perfect. less than 10 minute to the mountain. The guest house is very clean, beds are comfortable. We had everything we needed for our visit. Thank you!
