Amazing Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Wayne’s beautiful suite. It was well appointed with everything we needed. The patio was lovely in the morning for coffee and playing games in the evenings. The dock was perfect for soaking up the sun or shade. And nothing beats a dip in the lake. And last but not least the fresh eggs were a nice touch! Thank you for the much needed long weekend away. We will return.

A lovely lakeside end to the summer!

Water was crystal clear and especially enjoyed watching the passing boats cruising up and down during the sunsets. The cool air of the suite was welcome during the hottest time of the day, combined with the sun-soaked view of the lake made for a lovely time.

Amazing location

Such a beautiful spot! Great views of the lake, short walk to the dock, quiet location yet only 5 minutes from the main grocery store in town. Our young children loved greeting the chickens when they weren't spending time on the lake dock. Lovely hosts and suite. Will definitely look into booking again next trip to Lake Cowichan.

A perfect get away

The unit is spotless, we’ll stocked, very private and quiet. We had limitless use of the dock although our hosts used it too. But they are lovely and very friendly. The lake is amazing. Perfect temperature and no weeds.

Amazing place and location, best family vacation & memories ❤️

We spend a short summer week at this beautiful apartment with our family of 4 (2 under 10) and had the best time! Wayne and Sue are wonderful hosts and the chicken cage and fresh eggs have been a real highlight for our kids. Needless to say how amazing the waterfront location was.... the private terrace as well as the outside table were perfect for Lakeview lunches and sunset dining... the view is just spectacular and another highlight - the large dock - is just a few steps down the yard. The apartment was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Thanks again for letting our family make wondeful memories! We will be back for sure

Lake Cowichan Visit

Wayne gave perfect directions to find the cabin. Many outdoor sitting areas, each with an incredible view! Bright interior, well stocked & beautifully maintained. So fun to hear the chickens during the day! Wayne & Sue were welcoming & gracious hosts, and their greeting committee (Ferrari) was adorable! Close proximity to the town, if you wanted to go out for a meal, and a barbecue on site if you wanted to cook your own. Highly recommend!
