Experience the Perfect Island Getaway at Our Mill Bay Retreat;

Welcome to your home away from home! Nestled at the base of the Malahat, our Mill Bay retreat is the ideal gateway to all your Vancouver Island adventures, no matter the season. Whether you're visiting in spring, summer, fall, or winter, there's always something exciting to see and do.

Outdoor Adventures at Your Doorstep:

Step through our back gate and immerse yourself in nature with an abundance of quiet, low-impact trails perfect for all ages. For an unforgettable experience, take a short drive to the Kinsol Trestle, one of the world's tallest free-standing timber trestles. For more challenging hikes, explore the Malahat Ridge Trail or conquer Mount Finlayson in Goldstream Provincial Park. Skutz Falls, a slightly longer drive, offers breathtaking views worth the journey. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love Cobble Hill Mountain and Mount Tzouhalem, both popular local spots.

Unforgettable Attractions:

Don't miss the Malahat SkyWalk, one of the island’s premier tourist attractions offering panoramic views that are truly unforgettable. Car enthusiasts might plan their stay around an event at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit, just a pleasant drive from our location.

Golfing and Family Fun:

If golf is your game, you'll appreciate our proximity to Arbutus Ridge Golf Course and the Satellite Bar and Grill. For families travelling for hockey tournaments, the Kerry Park Recreation Centre is just moments away.

Explore the Island's Charms:

Take a scenic ride on the Mill Bay ferry to Brentwood Bay to visit the world-famous Butchart Gardens, the enchanting Butterfly Gardens, and the Aviation Museum in Sidney. Alternatively, embark on a short drive up island to explore Quadra Island, Salt Spring Island, or one of the other beautiful Gulf Islands for a day trip. The town of Chemainus offers a popular dinner theatre, while Ladysmith is a haven for antique shopping enthusiasts.

Local Attractions in Duncan:

Duncan is home to The Raptors wildlife sanctuary, the BC Forest Discovery Centre, and the Hand of Man Museum—all highly recommended for enriching experiences.

Nearby, the Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site and the Esquimalt Lagoon provide perfect settings for a picnic lunch. Thetis Lake, just off the highway, offers year-round beauty for hiking and nature appreciation.

Your Private Retreat Awaits:

After a day filled with adventure, return to your private, tranquil retreat. Unwind by soaking in the hot tub or curl up in front of the fire and simply relax. The yard has a park like setting, with mature trees, gardens, fountain and fire pit on a spacious 18000 sq/ft lot. Our cozy haven is designed to provide you with the ultimate comfort and serenity.

Great spot for visiting Brentwood College School
Had a lovely weekend - close to Brentwood and Mill Bay Centre. Walkable to Serious Coffee. Lovely, private suite - gorgeous backyard and hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Great communication with the owner - very responsive to any requests while we were there. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

A hidden Gem
I recently stayed at this hidden gem in Mill Bay, and I can't say enough about how lovely it was! The property is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous garden that feels like a little slice of paradise. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the cozy interior to the beautiful outdoor spaces—it was the perfect retreat. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I left feeling refreshed and so grateful for such a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to return!

Excellent choice for Victoria
We went to Victoria for our anniversary. Everything was perfect. Dwight was an amazing host and gave us exceptional care. He greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and easy to talk to. The space was larger and nicer than expected for the price we paid. Dwight did an amazing job on this space. We used the hot tub after a long day in Victoria and it was a perfect end to the night to sit back and relax and enjoy our time. We had a few questions about the hot tub and Dwight was instantly available to show us how to work it. Check in and check out was easy. Place was very clean and very nice. I would stay there again on my next trip to Victoria.

Fond memories of sitting on the patio drinking coffee, watching the sun rise over the trees and garden shrubs etc. Management: friendly, helpful, trustworthy . A place to revisit. I plan to do just that
