Loved our stay here, clean and beautifully decorated in a great location. Chantey is an amazing host and we hope to stay here again.

Chantey was super helpful and friendly - she even left us some homemade baking!!

Chantey's suite is perfect - a fabulous little space with a wonderful host! Thanks so much!

Highly recommended!

Nice cozy spot, with a great host!

This suit is great. Very cozy and clean. We had everything we need and much more (fire place, whirlpool). Jeannette was a great host. She always helped us and gave us information.

A lovely location to stay at. Beautifully decorated. Very clean and organized. Close to town (Duncan), and also close to highway access making it easy to travel around the area. Jeannette was a fantastic host and answered our questions quickly and provided us with great information for our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Quiet rural setting. Perfect for our visit to the "Raptors" attraction. Comfortable and renovated suite that looks even better in person. Breakfast supplies for our first morning were provided in the fridge and cupboards. There is a Tassimo coffee maker. We were able to self check in and hosts came to check with us later to see if there was anything we needed. Would stay again. Excellent value.

Well equipped, warm cozy stay. Highly recommended AAAA++++

Excellent place to stay. Renovated so beautifully!

Jeannette and Dean were wonderful hosts. Great communication, friendly, helpful and generous. The area is just stunning, easily accessible to town via car. Great area to run/cycle/hike. It was easy to find and parking was convenient onsite. The suite was top notch. Clean, new, spacious, fully equipped, comfortable. The hosts went above and beyond with an amenity basket and treats in the kitchen. The hot tub and pool were also a bonus! You will not find better value than Jeannette and Deans place!

My husband and I traveled to Vancouver Island to watch our son's rowing regatta on Shawnigan Lake. Jeannette's place provided us with everything we need during our 3-day stay. The suite had a fully equipped kitchen, was extremely clean and spacious. When I asked about early check-in, she was able to accommodate our request. The place is best accessed by car as we do not notice too many transit buses pass by during our stay. With your own vehicle, you can reach town in 5-7 minutes. We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back some day.

Very good place, super convenient access to Duncan and Cowichan Valley

Stephen is an excellent host with wonderful communication. His apartment was perfect for our time in Duncan and was within walking distance to shops and dining. The apartment was larger than the photos make it seems and was quite comfortable for three of us. Stephen made certain we had everything we needed. Great stay!

My son and I stayed at Stephens while we were in Duncan. The apartment is in the middle of town and you can walk to nearby restaurants, wine bars and the Saturday market. Stephen was great on recommendations within town and was available anytime if we needed him. As per Stephen's recommendation the Duncan Garage was our favorite little spot. The patio at Stephen's was nice to sit and have our meals. The kitchen has everything you need to dine in and the apartment was very clean. Thanks, Stephen!

Stephen and Marianna met us at the front door the moment we arrived and gave us a great, personal run down of the apartment and surrounding area. The apartment was immaculate and is bigger than the photos might convey. The location is perfect - downtown Duncan is fun to explore, there are so many cafes and local (non chain, yay!) restaurants all right at your doorstep. The Farmer's Market in particular was a great surprise (every Saturday). Thank you, we will be back!

I wa looking for a nice place for a personal retreat and I found it here. Very comfortable and quite, it truly was a home away from home.

The apartment was cozy, warm and functional. I found the downtown location convenient and hope to stay again.

Stephen was a great accommodating host! The apartment is in quiet central location within walking distance to everything.

Stephen went out of his way to make me feel welcome. The unit is centrally situated and very convenient. Having a vehicle was a bit tricky as parking on the road is limited to 3 hours.

Stephen's place is amazing, great for enjoying Duncan, retreat, beautiful energy there. Stephen and Marianna are beautiful people, so lucky to meet them, have a chat with them! I will go back there forever for sure and recommend this place!

We enjoyed our relaxing 2 night stay at the Algeria suite. All essentials provided and the suite was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The private outdoor hot tub was beyond expectations. Would highly recommend Jane's suite.

Although our trip was short...we've decided we MUST go back solely to experience the cosiest, cutest Airbnb ever! Alegria is a rare find - absolutely wonderful!!

Jane's place was very comfortable and a great location. It was quiet, but an easy walk to the downtown area. The kitchen had everything you could want and Jane provided a lot of materials to help you know activities in the area. She was easy to communicate with prior to arriving and very welcoming when we met her.

I really enjoyed staying at the Alegria. I stayed for a week and could have easily stayed longer. The kitchen is really well equipped with everything you need to self-cater, but it is a short drive or easy walk to downtown Duncan where there are some good food options. The Alegria is clean, tidy and cozy and Jane is a very welcoming and gracious host. I have already started recommending the Alegria to friends!

2 tulips in a vase, heat and light on, staples in the cupbard

We found the Alegria to be exceptionally clean and cozy. Jane was friendly and welcoming. She has clearly taken the time to make sure her guests will have all that they need to feel at home while being away from home. Thank you Jane! Sue and Shaun

What a perfect home - my dream home. The place is really clean and comfortable - fireplace and hot tub were exactly what we needed and we didn't expect a lovely little cottage type space/feeling. Host is super accommodating and respectful of space - we hope to return soon (this week) :) thank u

After a long day of travel, we arrived to a warm space with yummy cookies waiting. Everything from the cozy comforters to the window nook made us reluctant to leave and go exploring. When we came back, we quickly found ourselves relaxing in the hot tub and counting shooting stars thru the trees. Truly magical.

Beautiful home in a beautiful area. Melie and Mike were very welcoming. The place was clean and comfortable. Only a 5 min drive from CDH and town. I would definitely recommend it!

Excellent host. Good location, very fast access to downtown.

Very clean, comfortable and modern space. Will stay again when I am in town.

This is a lovely space in a quiet, secluded forest setting. Located a short (15 min) drive from Duncan, we found it to be a restful place from which to visit the area. The suite is well-designed and very comfortable, modern and clean. The kitchen is well-equipped with items to cook with and there is a good-sized refrigerator, so if you are coming for an extended amount of time be sure to pick up a few things for breakfast. We really enjoyed this quiet space among the trees and would recommend Melie's place as a base for exploring the Duncan area. Thanks, Melie!

Very easy to work with and very flexible!

Melie and her Family have been great with us. The place is just amazing, super new and clean with all needed including barbecue... Best romantic escape ever !

Melie und ihr Mann waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Im Apartment war alles was man braucht, sauber und gemütlich. Würden wir wieder buchen! :-)

This is a beautiful, modern, spacious studio, nicely designed and tastefully furnished. It's large enough that you could probably spend weeks there without feeling too confined. We also had a very nice conversation with Mike, Melie's husband, who even gave us some of their home-grown grapes.

非常棒的体验,房间位于考伊琴谷码头边的一处私密切小院,无论在房音还是在大露台和美丽的小院都可看到平静而美丽的海湾。步行五分钟就可达码头的繁华地带,无论购物、吃饭或者是出海观鲸都非常方便。房间非常非常干净,设施齐全,房主为我们准备了好喝的果汁,方便面,还有一袋香米,非常非常贴心,感谢Connie 和Tom为我们提供的非常完美的住宿体验。凉门前的西梅果非常好吃。感谢你们!

Connie and Tom are very nice host . We were very well taken care off. The location and the studio are superb. Thanks to both for this great stay!

The space is not fancy, but felt clean and served our purposes. It was as described, except the access to the space was via a narrow path by the side of the house. Connie was very accommodating of our requests and both she and her husband were very charming and helpful. The garden appears to be shared by multiple homes, but the view of the water was great.

Connie (and her helper Tom) were very friendly and welcoming. They gave me tour, a key and let me have reign, while saying they were available for anything and just to call if need be. I was pleasantly surprised by a treat in the fridge and coffee/tea provisions. The bed is comfortable and the description and images are accurate. If you like what you read, don't hesitate to stay here. I enjoyed it very much.

It was great.

Connie and Tom were very conscious about our needs and although we were all quite busy with 12 hour days we appreciated knowing they were available to us if needed. They are a wonderful couple and I look forward to seeing them again in the future.

Everything was as described in the listing. We had some muffins and coffee waiting for us, and the 5-or-so minute walk to the village is great. Connie & Tom were helpful, provided answers to any questions we had, and overall have a wonderful place to stay. Thanks so much for a terrific time - we felt right at home within minutes of arriving.

Connie picked us berries from her garden and left them on our door step with milk for our coffee while we were out checking out cowichan bay. She was super lovely, and theres a nice partial view of the bay from the deck where I watched the weather roll by the mountain.

My stay with effie was good, it was clean and quiet. Would recommend. Wifi was not the best and really was just one bed and a couch not actually 2 beds. Other than that was a great stay

Loved this sweet home away from home. It's all in the details, like the oil on the counter for cooking or milk in the fridge. Patty and Hilary were wonderfully kind and offered recommendations for places to visit. They were very patient with our pup, Sadie who is still learning some manners. We will stay again some day!

We enjoyed our time at Patty's Airbnb so much! The location is lovely and we always had our dinner outside in the garden, enjoying the great view and the sunset! Certainly one of the best Airbnbs I've been to so far!

Patty & Hilary's place is perfect...a cosy self-contained cottage in a lovely corner of Cowichan. They made us feel right at home by leaving tiny treats to eat, a beautiful book to read about the local food movement, and even doggy dishes and towels for our pup who we were able to bring along. The pup and I took a morning walk around the grounds and saw the rhododendron forest (cool); the sheep (cute); and P&H's gentle giant of a dog (one of two...adorbs.). Their place is a perfect launch pad to explore the area which we loved. We ate and drank our way through the Cowichan Bay slow food movement restaurant scene, and found some nearby trails and secret beaches to hang out on between meals ;0) P&H were easy to get in touch with and super warm and helpful. Definitely recommend their pad as your home base to explore all that the area has to offer.

Patty and Hilary were absolutely wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend their beautiful guest suite to anyone looking to stay in the Cobble Hill area. They were exceptionally helpful, recommending many places to visit and even offering to drive us to pick up our car (after leaving it at a wedding venue). The suite is larger and newer then it looks in the photos, and there was tea, coffee and breakfast treats waiting for us for our first breakfast. There are two adorable dogs ready to greet you at all times on the property (don't be fooled by Heidi's size and bark, she's a big sweetie - but Marco is the real cuddler!) as well as two beautiful sheep in the pasture. The property is situated with a gorgeous view of the sunset, and has many apple trees which you will be encouraged to take from. We even had a visit from a very vocal owl the first night which only added to the wonderment of the area. Our only regret of the trip was not booking more time at Patty and Hilary's place!

My wife and I spent 2 nights with Patty while on our exploration of Vancouver Island the first of July. The accomadations were very good, clean, and everything we needed. It was a wonderful experience I would highly recommend Augustine's Rhododendron Farm.

Patty and Hilary are the best hosts!! I felt super welcomed also thanks to the many thoughtful little gestures like juice, milk and butter awaiting in the fridge and fresh bread on the counter for a first breakfast. They are also very helpful when it comes to advice of where to hike etc. The space is very comfortable, clean, and clearly set up with a lot of care and thought to make a guest's stay great. You will love the quiet and the beautiful surroundings. Yoko loved meeting Heidi and Marco the two well-behaved friendly dogs.

Patty's place was great! It was better than I expected because I have pet allergies. Guess what?! No issues at all! The place was so clean and comfy. It is so nice and new. Better than the pics show. Are you looking for a great place with a memorable experience? You will want to be here. I will definitely come back again and again!

Before I even begin to review Augustine's I cannot emphasize enough what lovely people Patty and Hilary are, I felt as though I was staying with good friends. Prior to my arrival, Patty sent me very detailed directions and suggestions for grocery stores to hit should I need to (they were so kind to have milk, eggs, scones and coffee in the event I didn't have time to stop). Patty and Hilary were waiting for me when arrived, gave me a tour of their beautiful place and checked in a bit later to make sure I had everything I needed. The apartment has a sweet updated kitchen, a very cozy bed and newly remodeled bathroom. I felt as though I was in a little cabin surrounded by hundreds of rhododendrons and evergreens. Very homey and comfortable! Augustine's is situated in the most picturesque valley full of eagles, quails, rolling hills, wineries and asparagus farms. My only regret is that I wasn't able to spend more time exploring. I can't wait to make another trip to Cowichan Bay. I cannot end my review without mentioning Patty's unspeakable kindness. After leaving Augustine's I heading back to Victoria to return my rental car and check my luggage on the Clipper. Upon my arrival, I realized I had left my coat and my passport behind. I frantically called Patty and without hesitation, she jumped in her car and met me at the terminal, passport in hand. I have never experienced such kindness from a stranger. I'm really looking forward to my next stay at Augustine's!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Amy & Josh's beautiful home. The suite was even prettier in person. The location was nice, very peaceful. Even though it was a bit away from Ganges, we did quite well timing our trips to town around the bus schedule. Also, that the bus picked up right outside the house was a definite bonus! For fun, we rented scooters when we arrived on our first day to explore the island. Such a fun way to get around! Amy and Josh were great with responding really quickly to any questions we had. We unfortunately didn't actually get a chance to meet them, but we still felt very welcome in their home. Would love to come back and visit again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunset Suite. It was a great location and the place was very nice. There were many personal touches that made us feel welcome and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Communication from Amy was helpful & timely throughout. We arrived to flowers in bloom on the deck, lovely gifts from Salt Spring Natural Soap company, a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, Salt Spring coffee and teas. The most wonderful treat was a knock on the door morning of Brad's birthday and our wedding anniversary. Sisters Lola and Maya (perhaps 4 & 6 years) presented us with a basket of still warm home made cinnamon rolls. Precious girls and delicious pastry! Sunset Suite was as advertised, clean with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, and large tile shower with good water pressure. Vesuvius is a wonderful location, quiet with walking trails nearby. Also within walking distance is a terrific waterfront restaurant at the ferry dock as well as local beach access, all offering gorgeous sunset views. Amy, Josh & kids live upstairs and are terrific hosts - available to assist guests, and respectful of privacy. We would rent Sunset Suite again on a return visit.

We had a great two night stay at Sunset Suite. The suite was very clean, private and larger than what appears in the pictures. There's a nice sitting area and the TV was a great size for watching Netflixs. There's a lovely balcony for watching the beautiful sunsets in Vesuvius. The bed is comfortable and there were nice fluffy towels and a lovely rain shower in the bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped for anyone wishing to have a longer stay. Vesuvius is a wonderful area - very convenient to Ganges and the beaches. We would highly recommend staying here. Our communications with Josh and Amy were always timely and they were very helpful in answering any questions. We will be back!

I booked the suite on behalf of my parents as a surprise mini-getaway, and throughout the process Amy was so helpful and considerate, and very quick to respond to any questions. My parents had an amazing time, they loved the space (and the granola!) and said that they would definitely come back. Thanks for everything!

While we did not meet Amy and Josh, they were readily available via text to make sure we have everything we needed. The home is in a great location, and there's a lovely view of the water from the deck.

Sunset suite was the perfect place for a getaway from city life. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked! My fiancé and I appreciated all the little touches that were above and beyond our expectations (ie. the info sheet with recommendations, homemade granola, yoghurt and even some beer!!)

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay at Amy and Josh's. The house was beautiful, clean and well staked. The view was SPECTACULAR! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful stay on the island; I'd love to stay there again.

Cathy's place is in a great location. Scenic, relaxing and cozy, we would definitely stay here again in the future!

Nice cozy suite:) Very clean, warm and comfortable. Cathy was able to host me with short notice which was very appreciated.

After arriving and first meeting Cathy, she quickly runs into the work shed, and coming out with a carton of eggs and a handful of fresh garlic, she asks if we like garlic... i knew we were at the right place. We originally booked the suit, but were lucky enough to stay in the cabin. Beautiful atmosphere, loved being shown around the farm and meeting all the animals, and waking up to the hummingbirds. The shower is absolutely amazing, and had the fresh smell of cedar. Everything you need to hideaway is ready and waiting for you. Highly recommended, and appreciated.

Eric and I had a wonderful stay at Cathy's. The farm is so beautiful and waking up to the chickens and visiting the cows and horses is such a treat. Cathy was super helpful in giving tips and suggestions of what to visit upon check in, she even left us eggs from her chickens which were delicious. The place was very clean and well equipped and had a very sunny deck to have your morning coffee on. Also it was nice to be a bit further south of Ganges to have a bit more peace and quiet in the valley. Would definitely stay here again the next time we visit saltspring.

Beautiful Farm, clean spacious 1 bedroom, perfect for relaxing!

A charming studio in a farmhouse, well equipped and well located close to Fulford and lots of wonderful walks. (And the local brewery!) Highly recommended for a getaway. Cathy and Gavin are welcoming and friendly, loved the fresh eggs and seeing around the farm.

Cathy is a friendly and lovely host! The suite is delightful- comfortable, cozy and very clean. A beautiful retreat from life, surrounded by nature and quiet. Don't pass up this place!

What a fantastic gem. Night Owl farm is a beautiful location and the Farm suite is perfect for anyone visiting Saltspring.

Alison was great to communicate with - very prompt and helpful. The suite is lovely, has a private yard area, and your own parking spot. The neighbourhood was beautiful and quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

We had the best stay here and even extended our stay. It was a great location, close to beautiful hikes, the lake, and the Corwichan Valley! So much to see and do here, even in the rain! The private place suited us perfectly with everything you need & more! We would return :)

Alison was there to meet us when we arrived-she fully explained the details of the suite and even left us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. The accommodation was large and well set up for for our stay. The photos did not do the suite justice really-it is very roomy. We really enjoyed our couple of days there and could easily have stayed longer. The bed and other furniture was very comfy and we found it to be very quiet and peaceful. Thanks Alison.

It was very nice to have a full size fridge and stove and plenty of space.

Good value for the money.

Alison and Dave are great host, very friendly and helpful. The suite is self-contained, and the location is very peaceful and quiet.

It was amazing to stay in Kira's house. She is a fantastic host. She organized my arrival in a perfect way and prepared very good informations about the island. It's very clean and comfortable in her rooms. I love the wooden house and the beautiful garden. I could enjoy nature very well: hiking, relaxing and listen to the birds. Also the beach is very close. Thanks a lot!

What an incredible stay in Saltspring and we couldn't have asked for a better spot to call home for 4 days! Kira's place had so much light and character. A beautiful deck and comfy hammock I enjoyed reading my book in after a long day on my road bike. Loved this spot!

Kira's place was great! My partner and I had a lovely stay in Salt Spring and appreciated having such a comfortable place to stay while on vacation. We would certainly stay here again, and would recommend it to others looking for a place on the island. The kitchen was fully stocked, there was a beautiful deck to sit outside in the mornings and the place was very clean.

Kira was responsive, literally, within an hour of booking and available via phone during my stay. Rustic, quiet, serene, clean aromatic ocean air, sounds of birds, what a visual paradise. And to sit outside on the deck and stare at the stars engulfing the sweet cedar-piney smell - senses tantalized- what a treat. Nice efficient kitchen, comfortable bed, no chemicals or fragrances, just simplicity, what the heart desires. Conscious living at its best.

We stayed in this wonderful home for a month in Jan. 2012. It was clean, comfortable and beautiful. Everything we needed for an enjoyable stay was provided. The bed and linens were nice and comfortable. Heated floors throughout the house even kept our toes warm when it was cold outside. We caught up on some fun movies from their collection and the kitchen was modern and all of the dishes and cooking supplies we needed were there for us to use. The entire house was thoughtfully prepared for guests and we honestly couldn't think of a negative thing to write. The scenery around the house was just gorgeous. Huge, towering trees jutting up into the sky all around the house and a babbling stream running next to the driveway made for a truly memory filled stay. We saw deer out of the living room and kitchen windows almost every day to our delight. At night it was blissfully quiet too. The island is a wonderful and picturesque place to explore. Interaction with the house owners couldn't have been better. They were attentive and we could tell that the genuinely wanted for us to have a good stay. We would love to return again one day and would in a heartbeat.

My husband and I travelled to the lovely Cowichan Valley to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary this May. We really enjoyed the suite we rented from Kim & Paul. The home had a beautiful kitchen with a comfortable island where we enjoyed our meals and sipped wine bought from one of the many local vineyards. The bed was absolutely comfy and with the window open at night we could hear the mama deer and her fawn rustling in the brush around the house in the moonlight. We took a 3 hour kayak tour of Cowichan Bay and explored the lovely Duncan farmer's market (a short drive away). We drank delicious latte's from Serious Coffee and at the end of a day's adventures, we were always very happy to return to our country retreat where we would enjoy a cup of tea and I would often enjoy a good book in the lovely tub (complete with provided bubble baths). Often late at night the sky is so dark you can see the twinkling stars clearly, and the location is very quiet and private. Thank you Kim and Paul for a wonderful time and a beautiful spot.

Cheryl was a lovely host. The accommodations are very homey and have lots of natural light. There are some trails leading down to the water very close and they made for a beautiful walk. It's quiet and peaceful and I awoke to the sound of a rooster every morning. You will need some sort of transportation as it is a little way from town.

A very serene feeling atmosphere with easy access to a lovely trail to a very private feeling beach. I would definitely recommend this suite to others looking for a retreat from the city.

Super peaceful! A little ways out of town but perfect if you have a car or a bike. Cheryl is a great host, very friendly and quick to respond.

Cheryl’s place is nice, clean and the location is perfect. We had a wonderful time on Salt Spring Island.
