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.

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.

This accommodation met all expectations. It was clean, cozy, and quiet. French doors separated the bedroom from the living room, so it allowed in disturbed sleep. There was several choices of bedding to meet different people’s needs. The outdoor area included a separate deck to enjoy the beautiful gardens. Berta was available for any questions. Her recommendations help us to enjoy the area.

Berta’s guest suite was absolutely adorable and charming! My wife and I loved the garden and yard space to unwind in the evenings and the bed and bathroom were clean and well stocked with anything we might need. There is a small kitchenette in the listing and upon arrival we noticed it was fully stocked with many dishes and utensils. There is a toaster, kettle, microwave, and coffee maker. The only thing we didn’t notice until we arrived is there is no sink in the kitchen. There is a small wash basin and a few dish supplies under the bathroom counter but we found ourselves washing dishes in the bathroom sink as it seemed the easiest. Amazing spot if you are planning to eat out or bring in takeout. We would definitely come back.

Thanks so much for your beautiful review. We understand your thoughts about the lack of a kitchen sink. Some have just used the dishpan and dish drain that we supply, but we are happy to do your dishes for you because of the inconvenience. Please come again when you are in town. 🥰

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
