This is the cutest little getaway, a short drive from Victoria or Nanaimo. It really feels like you're away from the city, the view from the hot tub is amazing. Great spot for couples or a getaway with friends. I would love to stay again one day!
Fantastic place and better than expected. Peaceful and relaxing within just a few minutes of Duncan. Walking to the vineyard tasting room from our suite was a really nice experience. Would definitely stay again.
The purpose of our stay was to visit wineries in the Cowichan valley. The guest house at Emandare winery was absolutely perfect in all aspect. It is so beautiful, comfortable and the perfect location to visit the area. We highly recommend the guest house.
We had a wonderful time at your rental and everything we perfect. Gorgeous inside and beautiful property. The hot tub and view made it even better! We will definitely be back sometime!
Great guesthouse on the vineyard property with all you might need for a relaxing stay - icluding a hot tub on the balcony. Everything was nicely furnished and equipped. Clear recommendation.
During our stay at an exceptional Guest House, my daughter and I were enveloped in comfort and cleanliness, perfectly complementing our exploratory journey into the heart of a fabulous Vancouver Island wine region. This residence, situated amidst a landscape punctuated by distinguished wineries, served as both a sanctuary and a conduit to the rich viticulture heritage of the region. Each nearby winery was a revelation, offering a deep dive into the nuanced world of wine-making, with well-crafted vintages that told stories of tradition, innovation, and meticulous craft. This Guest House wasn't just a place to stay; it was a portal to an enriching experience, blending relaxation with the discovery of exquisite wines, and deepening our appreciation for the transformative power of wine education and cultural exploration.
What a wonderful place. My family and I had a great stay (July 7-10). The Guest House comes as advertised. It was very clean and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. Even the pull out bed was in good shape and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the BBQ worked great. Emandare Vineyard is a beautiful property. It's located just a few minutes outside of Duncan but feels like you're hours from town. The property is quiet and secluded (no neighbours within sight) and the view doesn't get better. We sat on the deck every morning with our coffee and simply enjoyed overlooking the rows of vines and the lake. In the evening it was a dip in the hot tub, a glass of wine and staring at the stars. The Guest House is great place to stay and relax.
This is a return stay for us. We love the convenient location and the bright, attractive living space, big enough to feel very comfortable for two--but even 3 or 4 could stay here easily with the two bedrooms. The deck and hot tub are wonderful and overlook a peaceful vineyard setting. This week we watched the stars from the deck and had several sightings of the Perseid meteor shower.
We took advantage of the offerings in the area and have visited Westholme Tea, Zannatta Winery, and Merrivale Cidery. The highlight of our visit was The Raptors, an up close experience with many different kinds of these birds, including bald eagles, hawks, and vultures--just a few minutes down the road.
All thoughtful touches and everything you need is here, whether you like to eat out, or if you want to prepare food at home--you can do it here with a well equipped kitchen. Clean, comfortable, and inviting. Thanks to our hosts for being inspired to share their scenic vineyard and making the Tractor Shed such a wonderful place to stay.
We always enjoy our stay at Emandare. The place is always clean, great view, great vibe. It's always nice to get a complimentary bottle of wine and to catch up with Mike in the tasting room. We're already looking forward to our next stay up there.
This was the perfect location for a little R & R over my birthday weekend. Very clean space, friendly host, nice hot tub, and incredible views. Would recommend!
We spent a week here helping our daughter get settled after her move to the area. After a busy day it ws so nice to come home for a soak in the hot tub. So peaceful and private.
We did miss having a full kitchen, and a normal sized TVbut didn't have much for either.
Emandare really delivered. The house (called the Tractor Shed) is located away from the main farmhouse with views of the vineyard and Lake Somemos. Well appointed, immaculately clean, peaceful and quiet. We will be back!
This winery has everything for a super getaway. Beachy vibe with a hot tub and fireplace overlooking the vineyard and Somenos Lake - feels 100 miles away but only five minutes from Duncan. Mike and Robyn were super hosts and their wines are very high quality - will never think of Canadian Pinot the same again!
This property is fantastic. Clean, comfortable and nestled within a beautiful vineyard where you can sample the excellent wines made on site. We arrived to a lovely bottle of Rose that we enjoyed in the hot tub overlooking the lake. Idyllic!
This is the best place to call home base while you’re on the Island.
It’s a beautiful spot to sit and soak in the hot tub or playing cards in the deck.
The bath products were a wonderful surprise!!!
The lighting and switches are perfect! Love opening a door and a light pops on!
You can’t ask for more!!
Everything was absolutely perfect. The home was very well stocked with every convenience you could want. From a machine that grinds and makes fresh coffee from beans, to luxurious Kleenex and bathroom tissue, to lots of place to hang towels and clothes and soaps to wash dishes and clothes. Exceptionally clean and quiet.
A wonderful place to stay. Very fresh and welcoming inside and out. The central location is a perfect starting point for daily adventures all around the Cowichan Valley. We can highly recommend the guest house as it's one of the very best VRBO's we've ever stayed at.
