Welcome to The Golden Unicorn; an inviting adult-only retreat created to inspire magic and offer a chance to relax and reconnect. Our goal is to provide a premium vacation experience with character, charm and something a little different.
Our property offers a newly renovated guesthouse full of whimsy and little luxuries. The space is the perfect home base for a romantic repose, to chill out, or traipse about wine country. Come enjoy Oliver's world-famous Okanagan wine, sunshine and beaches!.
Located in the heart of Oliver boasting over 50 wineries within a 10 minute drive! The Golden Unicorn is just minutes from Tuc-El-Nuit Lake and walking distance to downtown Oliver. Come explore The Wine Capital's semi-arid climate and take in Oliver's stunning mountain views! We're just a 5 minute drive from The Golden Mile Bench & Black Sage Bench and 8 minutes from Oliver's District Wine Village.
You'll love the privacy of having the entire ground-level carriage house to yourself, while enjoying all the luxuries of a high-end establishment and more. You can rest easy knowing you won't be bothered by noise-transfer as you'll be enjoying your own fully-detached unit! We pride ourselves on our exceptional standards. Enjoy freshly-pressed, Egyptian cotton sheets upon arrival and many more hotel-inspired details.
We are now offering year-round hot tub access, which will be reserved for your exclusive use during your stay. The hot tub is located in the courtyard, between the guesthouse and our residence on a half acre parcel of land. Our guest's privacy is important to us! Rest assured, unless you are looking to talk to us, you won't see us walking your way!
