We are long time girlfriends who were looking for a central spot to meet and catch up over a weekend. We settled on Cowichan Bay and were extremely happy with the location, and the cute accommodations were perfect. Walkable to parks, restaurants, bakery, shops and an easy drive to wineries, more restaurants and shopping and various artisans and farm stands. We were super happy with the cottage setup and all the attention to details that gave us many choices if we stayed in (games, well stocked kitchen, cozy fireplace and throws and more). It has stunning views and was super clean and thoughtfully planned and decorated. We will be back!
