Seaside Homestay<br>

Welcome! Come experience the serenity of Chemainus on Vancouver Island.

This cosy and bright space hosts 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, washer & dryer, full kitchen, dining room, living room with wood stove and tv, reading room, and a large covered patio. Enjoy sunsets and ocean views while barbecuing or lounging by the fire table.

Our small family lives in the suite below and when not travelling ourselves, we love to host and meet people.

The mini split heating system (white remote) in the living room is easy to use and is your main temperature control to keep you comfortable throughout your stay.

We are perched above the “Great Trail” and within 2km of downtown Chemainus. You can drive to Victoria in 1 hr or to Nanaimo in 30 mins.

There is comfortable parking for 3 vehicles, including a carport. Gardens and lawn provide a private, shaded space to enjoy the fresh air. Enjoy fresh herbs grown year long in the front garden!

Ocean Room - bright oceanside room with great views, ensuite with shower, queen bed and mirrored closets.

Mountain Room - this mountain side (Mt Brenton) room holds cozy twins beds with twin size mattresses that look out on large rhododendrons.

Forest Room - this mountain side room has an elegant queen bed to complement the beautiful Dogwood and Cherry blossoms that it looks out on in Spring.

Bathroom - a very spacious room with shower and tub, large mirror, hamper, toilet & sink.

The entire suite, carport, gardens, and front lawn is for your use. Carport accesses the deck and house, with a house key in the lockbox at this entrance.

For those of you who love a wood stove fire, we provide wood briquettes.

Monthly rates available upon request from November to February

Nice clean and spacious property in quiet area. Host was friendly and available. Only tiny downside was ocean view is partially obstructed by garage but upside was huge patio/deck to relax in. Would definitely stay here again.

Great North Cowichan getaway
Our party of two couples enjoyed staying at this lovely, comfortable home in a quiet neighbourhood not far from the heart of Chemainus. It was spacious and well-equipped, and the hosts were very congenial. We enjoyed a day walking nearby trails (Askew Park, Wul'aam Park, Stocking Creek Trail) and another day exploring the town of Chemainus, including an evening at Chemainus Theatre. This home was a wonderful base for our North Cowichan getaway.

Wonderful Stay
This was the perfect place to stay as a home base to tour the island. The home is spacious, comfortable and very clean. We spent most of our time on the upper deck eating meals and taking in the incredible view. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Carla was a wonderful and friendly host and very quick to respond to any request we had. We would not hesitate to stay here again.. Thank you Carla!
