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.

There was a very nice simple breakfast of toast, fruit, yogurt, granola and coffee or tea provided. The property is quiet, with excellent views and a short drive to downtown Duncan. Dave the host is great and can help you with anything you might need.

The place was fantastic. The owners were extremely kind and helpful. The animals and the grounds were amazing. Very relaxing weekend. I would 100 percent recommend this place to everyone.

Duncan is best experienced outside of town for trails lakes and nature in general. Try an AirBnb. There are a few within 20 minutes or so from town in beautiful settings. To Eat, go to Romeo's. I had one of the award winning pizzas, and it didn't disappoint

Sadly, this town seems quite depressed, with little that was visually appealing, and many homeless folks wandering the streets. Seems to be a good jumping point, to get fuelled up, get groceries, do laundry etc, before continuing to stay elsewhere.

The Cowichan Valley region (incl.
The Cowichan Valley region (incl. Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Lake, Chemainus, Ladysmith.) has restored, sweet, old towns with plenty of outdoor informative signs, images, murals about local history, walking, cycling and equestrian trails to renovated trestle bridges (Kinsol Trestle is the biggest and most impressive one), the best river tubing in the pristine water of the Cowichan river, clean lakes with nice beaches for swimming, ecotourism with wineries, cideries, distilleries and breweries, all in beautiful settings. Don't miss the Hand of Man museum in Mill's Bay. Easily explored within 4 days with a car. All the municipalities are easily explored on foot. We were never disappointed with the food either and they have gluten free options everywhere on the menus.

I know Duncan well as I was born here. I came to town to attend a concert. I took advantage of the great shopping. I enjoyed dinner at Mr Mike’s prior to the show. Lots of restaurants within walking distance from the theatre and also the hotel.

This hotel is old, run down, and downright scary.
This hotel is old, run down, and downright scary. My husband refused to get out of the car! The "guests" who happened to be outside were standing in huddles that appeared more like a drug deal going in. One women was outside her room in saying only a towel. Rooms were full of stale cigarette smoke. Do not book a room here. My only saving grace was that the manager told me the room hasn't been charged yet.

We've been there many times.
We've been there many times. Small quaint town; lots of restaurants, shopping and a casino for those who like that (not me), lots of totem poles. We are there every summer to attend the Cowichan Folk Music Festival, which was the reason for this trip as well. Easy to get to by car/bus as the main highway runs right through it; could get there by boat as well. By air would most likely be via Nanaimo or Victoria and then an hour drive either way to Duncan. Outdor music performances every night in July in town.
It was very close to the Aquatic Centre in Duncan, where I was attending a Swim Meet. It was easy to get in and out of, and close to a number of eating establishments. Parking was next to my room, so that was good. Pretty quiet considering the motel is right beside the main highway. The room had a kitchen, which was useful, and an enormous fridge.
I was in town for a dog show and wanted a pet friendly, kitchenette. This motel was way better than the previous place I stayed. Tracy, the owner, was so kind and welcoming and even let me use a fenced off dog run to give him some activity. The room was comfortable, parking was visible from my room, and the shower was hot! Very much recommend!
the room was very clean, spacious, private and quiet. Breakfast was really good and the owners were very welcoming and wonderful chatting with in the morning. Maple Bay is a pretty area. Not much going on but there is a pub and a nice restaurant. The beach would be nice in the summer
Check in was friendly and efficient, the room was very clean and comfortable and the coffee, wifi and shower were all excellent. We definitely plan to return the next time we stay over in Duncan. In past years we have stayed in more expensive places which were no where near as nice.
The breakfast was great and she even made us a pot of English Breakfast tea. We liked her garden and lovely to sit out there and watch the birds and the local possum. We particularly liked that it wasn’t smack bang in the middle of tourists hotels etc. It was nice and quiet.
Everything was great! Over and above our expectations. It was within walking distance from the person we were visiting. It was also easy for us to find our way around Duncan. Loved the extra space compared to a hotel room. Will highly recommend to anyone going to the area.
Location is easy to find. Teresa (the host) is a very nice lady. She even turned on the fan for us before we arrived. Our room is quiet as we requested. Bathroom is spacious. and clean, everything you need is there. Bed is exceptionally comfortable.
There was a very nice simple breakfast of toast, fruit, yogurt, granola and coffee or tea provided. The property is quiet, with excellent views and a short drive to downtown Duncan. Dave the host is great and can help you with anything you might need.
We have stayed at this hotel before and found it good, well priced for the quality of the hotel. It is well maintained and clean and the attached restaurant offers a basic menu at good prices and quality.
The unit was comfortable.. it had a fully equipped kitchen. The neighborhood was quiet and was easy access to transit. Could easily walk to most things in Duncan. It is an older building but clean
Great quiet location to access downtown Duncan - or get out to the Cowichan valley north of town.
Very clean, full size appliances in the kitchen, and washer-dryer in the bathroom.
beautiful views, lovely garden setting, beautifully decorated, clean and functional room. shared kitchen was nice for making teas and putting stuff in shared fridge. lovely owners.
Room was nice, clean.
Pool area is simple, basic and tidy but the picnic table / seating is run down with mismatched furnishings. Nothing pretty about it.
