Oceanside 1 Bedroom Luxurious Suite Overlooking Cowichan Bay

Salishan Chief Suite overlooks one of the most magical places on Vancouver Island.

In the shadow of Mt. Tzouhalem the Salishan Chief Suite sits oceanside with spectacular views of Cowichan Bay.

This luxurious one 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 stairs to 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 1 bedroom 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 with incredible views of Cowichan Bay.

Cable TV and WIFI included.

Salishan Chief 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 2 bedroom suite above 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.

Close to ferries to and from Vancouver BC and Washington State and airports in Victoria and Nanaimo.

Bayside hideaway
This is a remarkably beautiful place. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. The condo was gorgeously appointed with First Nation art and comfortable furniture. Good beds. Unfortunately it was 35 (95 F), and there was no AC. So that was rough, but probably unusual. If the weather is moderate to cold-it’s the most wonderful vacation home!

Best stay ever
The place was awesome, the host communicated on how to enter in the property and everything worked out. When we came in everything was super organized and ready to use. Plenty of amenities and a great view to the water. The Kitchen is full of items and good to go. The host has very attention to details. We loved our stay.

Bed
We loved the place, tastefully decorated and complete with kitchen amenities. The bed was unfortunately very uncomfortable. The mattress was extremely hard for us, and being older people it was uncomfortable on our hips, shoulders, etc. We would absolutely go back and rent this home, if, they had a softer bed. Thank you to John and Harold being very friendly and helpful hosts.

Beautiful view, peaceful setting, very comfortable (firm) bed, excellent modern kitchen and clean well-maintained bathroom, great amenities. Had everything I needed and more. Decor was a little odd and needs to be updated, but otherwise one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.

Pleasant Stay
EMR Vacation contract seemed a little weird rather than just VRBO agreement. Surprised with monitoring tools - decibel only monitoring, what we believe was a booster or wifi in bedroom, and a device in top corner of bedroom which we assumed was a motion detector? Found the push drawers a little frustrating as didn’t always open or close easily. Overall enjoyed the stay.
