General Overview

Discover a serene west coast, mindfulness retreat. Illuminated forest bathing, nestled in 4 acres of Vancouver Island's rainforest. It is an ideal base for South Island adventures, with hiking, biking, rivers, oceans, lakes (yes plural!) within 10 minutes drive. Close to Victoria BC (45 minutes) for some city life action - arts, culture, theatre, live music and great food. Our home is a sanctuary, a perfect nature retreat, with a cedar sauna, cold plunge, rainforest walks in our backyard.

The Space

Notes

Hi there! My husband Michael and I live on Vancouver Island, in the Cowichan Valley. He manages a local furniture store and I am an adult educator and nonprofit consultant. As nature lovers, we love hiking all the trails just outside our doorstep, and attending local cultural events in Duncan. Michael knows all the local mountain bike trails and I know all the local wineries and best swim spots. We are happy to share our favourite spots with you!
