Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay, hotel in Cowichan Bay

This all-suite hotel overlooks Cowichan Bay and suites with a kitchenette. It is 13 km from the British Columbia Forest Discovery Center.

Excellent view, we saw seals from our room and there is a nice restaurant on site. The bathroom was quite nice and the kitchen area is equipped enough for a simple meal which you might need to use if you are there on a Monday or Tuesday as most shops and restaurants are closed, On-site restaurant was closed on Monday too.

I had to go to hospital as I was covered in bed bug bites. I stayed in room 30. The doctor said it was the worst case he has ever see. I feel violated, I had to spend over two hundred dollars on medication.

    Great little hidden gem - perfect when you’re doing the Pacific Marine Circle drive! Pool was great, the view is jaw-dropping, and the Cook and Butcher restaurant in the hotel is really high quality! Hotel could use a little update, but it’s such a gem of a spot, the decor is easy to forgive.

    Quaint little hamlet in the bay with houses on stilts over the tide line, a warf with house boats, great variety of restaurants and quaint boutiques and a With boat launch, ample parking and sea wall to die for. Something for everyone.

    We enjoyed the beautiful bay, the blue skies and the marina. We definitely enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Sathian Thai food restaurant. Very good! There is free parking just north of the marinas on the bay side. Everything is within easy walking distance.

    Cowichan Bay is a great little community with great food and people. The bay itself is beautiful both day and night and offers great opportunities for spectacular photos. Definitely try the Rock Cod Cafe for seafood, they offer fresh food, a great view and awesome service.

    A busy little town right on the ocean, loved walking along the shops, a little dangerous at times as the cars park on both sides of the road and sometimes we had to venture to the road to pass people due to 6ft rule. We ordered halibut burger and halibut fish and chips from the pub and they were the best halibut we ever had, highly recommend it, their beer batter is wonderful and very crispy!

    We had beautiful sunny weather, unexpected for late November. We toured lots of colourful backroads as we followed our maps to various wineries. Not all are open this time of year but those that were gave us a fine experience. The historical center of Duncan has shops with very good inventory of sophisticated items not always found in smaller centers.

    Beautiful place, fantastic location, easy to find. It was so well laid out. It is ultra modern and so comfortable. Very high-end finishes and appliances. Lots of lovely extras as well. Book this over a luxury hotel room, which would be twice the price. You will not be disappointed. It was also very quiet, and the owner was lovely and advised us where to eat. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you 😊

    Beautiful, bright apartment, elegantly furnished, very clean, spacious, comfortable. Quality towels, kitchen utensils, fire place. Stunning views. Very quiet, intimate yet only 10 min drive to Cowichan Bay village. 15-20 to Duncan. This is the best alternative to the tired, stuffy, overpriced hotels in the area.

    The view from this hotel is stunning, worth staying for the view alone. The multi story car park is quite tight, and if you want to eat at the restaurant I would suggest making a reservation so you can get a table with a view. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Great place to stay in the Cowichan Bay countryside if you're looking to get away from the city. You get the whole house to yourself and the home had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The beds and pillows were really comfortable and the home was clean.

    Fantastic location near all the Cowichan Bay amenities. We had a quiet room with a peek-a-boo view of Cowichan Bay. The beds were comfortable and the wifi was great. The staff were pleasant and accommodating. The Inn is very dated, but it was fine for us.

    We booked for 3 people were only 2 because one was sick and could not join us. The hotel told me to contact Booking .com for a refund but I was not able to find a way to do that. Can you issue the refund for the extra person?

    Extremely clean and quiet rooms. Close to the local restaurants. I liked the huge Lighted mirror in the bathroom that had a heat function for for when it fogs up. Nice little patio to sit outside and enjoy the view.

    The location is amazing, every room has a view! Cowichan Bay is charming! Keep in mind that due to the labour shortage in tourism, restaurants have reduced hours. Some are closed on Mondays/Tuesdays.
