What a gem
We really enjoyed our stay , the cabins were spotless and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for our family trip tubing down the river. Close to everything yet felt private. We enjoyed the backyard and the dock. Will stay again

Overall great stay!
The location is centrally located and is in walking distance to shops/restaurants in town. It’s located directly on the water and is peaceful. The suite was well equipped with bedding and kitchen supplies.
One thing I did notice was the property was very dark and no lighting on the side of the property. I also found the booking process to be complicated and not user friendly.
The virtual check in was easy but you have to make sure all the forms are filled out prior to arrival or you won’t get a code.

Felt like a riverside retreat
We really enjoyed our stay, watching tubers floating by from our deck and launching ourselves from the dock. The interior was all very modern and had everything we could possibly need. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay at the Cowichan Cottage. The location is close to everything, and the unit is well equipped. We would come back again sometime.
