About this property
Taste The View: A dream view of the mountains and lake
Centrally located between Victoria and Nanaimo, we are minutes from the ocean near beautiful Maple Bay, and situated on Mount Tzouhalem which has some of the best mountain biking and hiking trails on the island. This new suite has a private 500 so ft outdoor patio area and natural gas BBQ. It is a one of a kind find.
Whether it’s swimming in the ocean, whale watching or renting a kayak, our close proximity to the ocean will ensure you will never be bored. If water is not your thing, walk out the door and across the street to enjoy hiking or biking trails from beginner to expert level. Or perhaps take a short drive to one of the fantastic 4+ star rated golf courses near by. We are surrounded by BC’s finest wineries, markets, live entertainment, shopping and a vast array of restaurants for every taste and budget. Whether you are here for an event or a vacation, we have it all.
Built almost 700 feet up with panoramic views of mountains and Lake Quamichan, this very private walk out ground level space with a private entrance has one or two bedrooms available. Please note the second bedroom is an additional cost of $100 per night. (Note: if you require only one bedroom, the second one will not be rented to anyone else during your stay). Located in the lower level of our new custom home, the full above ground walk out has scenic views and breathtaking sunsets.
The suite includes a full bathroom with a rainfall shower, hair dryer, fluffy towels and all the toiletries you might need. We have a fully equipped kitchen area with an apartment size fridge, microwave, coffee maker, double hotplate, Breville convection toaster oven, blender, toaster, milk frother and more.
The large main bedroom has a comfortable king size bed and a television with Netflix, Prime, HBO, Crave and a cable package plus the most amazing morning views to wake up to. The second bedroom has a comfortable queen size pillow top bed with another amazing view and a walkout to the deck. Both bedrooms have large closets and plenty of storage in the form of cabinets and armoires. In this almost 900 SF suite there is a large private family room with comfortable leather recliner chairs, a leather recliner couch, a 46 inch TV with cable, Netflix, Prime, HBO, Crave and unlimited high speed internet access.
When you arrive you will be greeted with a bottle of wine, a loaf of fresh baked bread and home made preserves from local picked fruit.
The nightly rate is for one bedroom and two people. If you wish to book the second room, there is an additional $100 fee per night. We have a maximum capacity of four adults per night. Property is not suitable for young children or pets.
During the last two years, there has been a new subdivision being built in the many acres of land behind our home. There may be construction on these homes during your stay but they are respectful to work within normal work hours and trying to keep noise to a minimum.We look forward to having you visit us and stay in the place we love to call home.
