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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful view from large kitchen window, comfy beds, lovely fireplace in livingroom, even books and dvd player. Even though the hot tub has broken down a day before we arrived, the hosts tried everything to fix it and even managed to get a tech on our first day who made it work. So our highlight def. was the hot tub with a glass of wine and stunning views of the vineyard and the lake.

The tractor shed is the most amazing venue for a relaxed get away for two couples. It was perfectly clean, beautifully decorated and had every little touch we could ask for. Thank you for the wine and farm fresh eggs. They were so appreciated! We loved the view from the deck, the quiet and stillness of the night stars. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We were so thrilled to stay in this quiet and comfortable space. Not only was the property immaculate, but it was well decorated and thoughtfully furnished. We did not meet the property owners because we were so blissed out we only left these comfy digs a few times during our whirlwind stay. These hosts have thought of everything, and we so appreciated it!

Close to wineries and town, yet so quiet and serene.

Close to wineries and town, yet so quiet and serene.

The property is as described on VRBO. Location is rural yet close to everything. What VRBO does not talk about is how wonderful the host is. Mike was there to help at any time of the day and night to make our stay exactly as we wished. We ate out and also did some take out to eat at the property. Lots of comfortable places to do that. We played some card games which were in a basket in the living room. A nice touch.. We ate breakfast on the patio every morning. Perfect start to our day. Beautiful view of lake and vineyard. Beds were very comfortable. Body wash, shampoo provided high quality. We went into town and bought some to take home! All and all a perfect getaway and a super Host. We would not hesitate to recommend to friends . Thank you for a beautiful stay.
