About this apartment rental
Summary:
Oceanside 2 Bedroom Luxurious Suite Overlooking Cowichan Bay.
The Space:
Salishan Tree House Suite overlooks one of the most magical places on Vancouver Island.
Important Notice: This property is registered under the BC Short Term Rentals Accommodation Act with Registration Number H553320851
In the shadow of Mt. Tzouhalem the Salishan Tree House Suite sits oceanside with spectacular views of Cowichan Bay.
This luxurious two bedroom suite was built to embrace the natural surroundings and the region's rich cultural and natural history.
When you first enter the property through the ornate salmon run metal gates, to the forest path and walkway bridge into the suite, the hillside suite prepares you for an incredible experience when you first open the suite doors.
Once entering the suite you will be amazed by the architecture and sweeping views from the windows of the main living room and open plan dining and European styled kitchenette space.
The large and spacious suite is tastefully decorated with touches of indigenous artwork and a main balcony from the living room to step out and soak in the ambience of west coast living.
The large primary bedroom with queen sized bed has its own balcony, TV, and incredible views of the bay.
The second bedroom, also with a queen sized bed, has a large space with a private balcony and views of the bay.
Cable TV and WIFI included.
Salishan Tree House Suite is an EV-charging-ready property! This property is equipped with an OK2Charge Level 2 Smart EV Charger. While you are enjoying your time in Duncan, you can rest assured that you will be able to charge your vehicle while you relax and enjoy the comforts of home. Once you arrive, scan the QR code on the charger, choose your payment method, and you are ready to charge! There is only one charger on the property on a first come first serve basis with the other suites. Please note Tesla drivers require a J1772 adaptor.
Situated close to the Cowichan River estuary, plan to see all kinds of wildlife from eagles above, seals patrolling the shorelines, and if you are lucky the odd whale sightings.
There is a second 1 bedroom suite below that can be rented separately if you need extra space.
Amazing hiking nearby on Mt. Tzouhalem, Maple Mountain, and the Cowichan River Trail.
Bring your own kayaks to explore the ocean first hand or take a short drive away to the Cowichan Bay Village to rent or take a kayak tour. Other tours are available from Cowichan Bay.
You are also in the heart of Vancouver Islands wine country. Some of the best wines in British Columbia are grown and produced in the Cowichan Valley. Tour the wineries and pair up a meal at the bistros.
You can find all that you need for shopping in nearby Duncan to pick up groceries, go out to restaurants, and shop in the old town.
Explore the many cultural attractions in the region from deep indigenous history to modern day settler history.
Easy drive to the Garden City of Victoria to the south or to the Harbour City of Nanaimo to the north.

Beautiful suite, convenient location for access. Beautiful views of the bay in the morning and evening with lots of animals.

Very comfortable and a fabulous place to watch the tide come in, with river otters and abundant wildlife. Gorgeous sunsets and moon rises. There was no freezer (it was a hot week in July--I hadn't noticed that in the listing), and no laundry (which had been in the listing, hence the 4 stars for that), but we managed with the local laundromat and daily trips out for gelato and sorbet. Very helpful service when the first entry code didn't work on arrival, and when the smoke alarm malfunctioned. Overall, 5 stars for an incredibly restful and beautiful suite and setting! We hope to come again!

My mother and I stayed here with my dogs. It’s rural, filled with nature and you can actually hear the beautiful birds in my morning. The winding narrow road might be challenging to navigate for some but people are very good at yielding. There were great amenities here and the view was stunning. Waking up to herons at low tide was gorgeous. Although it’s rural it’s quick enough to get into town. The space was lovely and the kitchen was just fine. I know others have been opposed to the kitchen but we had no problem. The oven is smaller but not inconvenient and I don’t have a microwave at home so I didn’t miss that at all. Overall I would definitely return and have recommended the place to others. I will say that anyone with mobility issues may struggle with the stairs. The initial down from the cars have no railing which was challenging for my 78 year old mother. Definitely looking forward to coming back.

Kitchen is poorly furnished but then again I wouldn't call it a 'kitchen'. No freezer, kitchen 'sink' is a bar sink. EMR sends me email that I should contact rep for greet and meet. Explicitely states I need to coordinate meeting. I tried, EMR does not reply to messages but mentions the fines for not meeting on time for meeting that never happened. Having said all that the place is really beautiful.
