Gateway to the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island

Things to Do and See in the Cowichan Bay region

The quaint fishing village of Cowichan Bay affords our visitors a variety of amenities, with choices of restaurants, boutiques and water sport opportunities. Two 18-hole public golf courses are within 10 minutes of our B&B. The area is enjoying a steady increase in visitors to the local wineries... Local production has been winning international approval and several wineries welcome visitors to tour and taste. The annual Cowichan Wine Festival has become popular and is attracting increasing numbers to the Valley every September.

Cowichan Bay and the surrounding area is also excellent for bird watching or whale watching. Our B&B is well located for amazing views and access to the estuary and sanctuary.
