We are located in the heart of downtown, so everything you need is just steps away from this suite! Island Pastry Haus is at your front door. Jakes on the Lake, Country Grocer, and Liquor stores are just a few things within walking distance. Lake Cowichan Marina is only 1km away, and entry to the Lake Cowichan river (famously known for river tubing in the summer) is accessible from the private dock on our property.

The building is situated in an area that has 2 hour parking from 9am to 6pm, on the street in front of the property. There is additional unlimited free parking within walking distance, in the surrounding area. A parking map will be provided in the days before your arrival.
The Yard:
The privately accessed, enclosed yard provides privacy from the street! The yard includes a patio with BBQ, an outdoor table with umbrella, and sun loungers. The fire table and outdoor seating area is located at the end of the yard, just above the dock, and is perfect for relaxing during the day or evening!
Dock:
You will have access to your own private dock! Dock safety is required, and life-jackets are recommended for children, due to the depth of water off the dock. In the heat of summer, tubing down the river becomes a popular activity! You can rent tubes from the tube-shack a few doors down, or bring your own!
Boats:
This property sits at the mouth of Cowichan River, a stone's throw from the weir! Boats can be launched from either the Marina, or boat ramp next to the weir tower. The boat must then be brought through the weir, then secured at our dock.
Suite Accessibility:
Please note that accessing the suite may be challenging for those with mobility issues. To get to the suite, there is a narrow stairway to the back of the building. While inside the suite, access to the bathroom, and second bedroom is up two stairs. As such, those with mobility problems might not have the easiest time navigating the space.
