I needed a simple studio for a workshop I was taking in the area. I didn’t spend much time at this property other than to sleep, but it had everything I needed and was perfectly located. Communication w owner was outstanding she was so kind and had great recommendations. Beautiful area and some great restaurants and a lovely park on the waterfront all within walking distance.
Lovely private space. Cute garden area. Very convenient to town businesses and the water. So nice to have coffee, tea and cream handy to start the day, and the bakery around the corner is great. Hoping to stay again when I come back to the island.
It was a great little place. Right in town with a lot of local walking locations nearby. The place has a smart tv and good sized bed with a nice large shower. Overall had a great experience!
Great location for walkng and exploring the area.
Very comfortable, clean with a well equiped kitchen space for light cooking.
Tasty bakery around the corner!
Check -in and out very easy.
Really enjoyed our stay

All very comfortable and easy. I would have been helpful to have instructions on how to program the thermostat.
Spacious accommodation for two with a fully equipped kitchen which suited our needs. Nice nook/covered seating area in the back which would be great in spring and summer....*my only suggestion would be if you are a light sleeper to bring an eye mask as the sensor light illuminated the space which was unfortunate as I had forgot mine. All in all we enjoyed the space.
Sweet little studio, conveniently located within walking distance of many of Chemainus’s attractions. A great place to stay in the heat of summer as it is nicely shaded.
A charming suite totally in sync with the charm of Chemainus itself. We stayed for three nights as we did lots of visiting in Duncan area with family. This was our quiet haven to relax .
Property is thoughtfully designed for function and comfort. It was more impressive than the pictures shown. We enjoyed having our coffee, which our host thoughtfully provided with fresh cream,in the side garden. The rainfall shower was huge and the linens were new and fresh. The location was quiet but near the beach and restaurants in the old town. Perfect stay and spot!
Suite was excellent overall, with a lovely private garden and wooden fence, perfect location, lots of windows, and the most comfortable bed and pillows ever! The only issue was quite small in comparison to all the lovely qualities and that is the shower caulking is in need of a refresh. However, I would definitely stay here again in the future. The kitchen and suite was stocked well with necessary equipment, cleaning/bathing products, towels, and bedding.
The check in process was extremely easy. The list ofrequirements and expectations was straight forward and to the point. The mattress was like sleeping like I have never slept. The decor and anesthetic was pleasing. Sue was a delight to deal with and I know when I'm back out this way I will be checking for availability with her property

Could not sleep in bed - it was too soft.
We were both ill with the flu but the furniture we could rest on looked like outdoor wicker furniture and not comfortable at all. We left early.

Ad was misleading. You think you're getting an upstairs sunny balcony with 2 chairs, but you get a basement suite which is dark, damp and the view of an unkept fenced area. There’s a dangerous entrance with loose bricks held with spikes to trip on. It was clean and centrally located but we would not recommend this place.
Bright ground floor unit with all the listed amenities, although we ate out for all meals. Coffee and tea available to start the day. We easily walked all around the area. So many murals in the downtown area!! Nice to see the older homes from days gone by. Smaller beach 1/2 block away. Visitor info had good options for things to do in the district.Loved the Chemainus bakery around the corner for 7 am fresh sausage rolls and yummy pastries. Took the old valley highway drive to Merridale Cidery, beautiful property, excellent menu (try the charcuterie) and delish ciders. Many of the local wineries are closed M/Tu. Nice to see smaller towns off the main hwy.
