The room was clean, and the staff were extremely nice and polite. The location of this motel is interesting as you can either stay in Cowichan, or go to Victoria and Nanaimo daily.

Had a pretty good stay overall. The room was clean and comfortable, check-in was easy, and the staff were friendly. Parking was simple and felt safe, which was a big plus. The kitchen had what we needed for basic cooking, though a couple extra utensils would have made it even better. Nothing fancy, but it was a solid place to stay and I’d book it again.”

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was spotless and beautifully renovated, offering a perfect blend of modern comfort and serene design. Every detail felt thoughtfully updated, and the cleanliness truly stood out—it was clear that care and pride go into maintaining the space. The staff were absolutely amazing, providing friendly and attentive service from check-in to departure. Waking up to a stunning water view was a dream, and we were especially delighted to watch blue herons nesting nearby—it added such a special, peaceful touch to our stay. Highly recommend for anyone seeking beauty, comfort, and a connection to nature. 🌿✨

I made the reservation late and arrived at 9:40pm. The manager helped me to check in immediately and was very pleasant, I was very surprised to open the door to such a beautifully renovated room. The mattress was comfortable and a great sleep was a bonus, waking to a nice view and best breakfast experience that I've ever had.

It is in need of repair. The kitchen was very small and limited with items provided. They are renovating so I’m sure it will be much nicer. The location is great and right across from the lake. The towels are hand washed and good quality, sheets are nice, great shower head. Overall it is okay for the price for sure
