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.

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.

Enjoyed the wineries and hikes in the region

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.

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 highly recommend it! We knew it would be lovely, but it even surpassed our expectations. Thank you so much! We really enjoyed our BFF getaway.

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!

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.

Very nice

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.

Very nice property. Easy communication with owners.

Really enjoyed our stay…the property was very nice and as described. Clean and well maintained.

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.

A wonderful retreat! We will go back next year! We really loved our hosts and accomodations! Thank you so much!

Really lovely apartment. Very clean and excellently equipped with everything anyone might need! And the air-conditioning was much appreciated in the 30 degree heat!

Very comfortable bright and spacious accomodation. We took full advantage of the large deck with such a peaceful setting to view. Air conditioning was welcome as it was very warm as this scenic property receives a lot of sun. The owners are very attentive and caring and respectful of ones privacy. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Beautiful place, central location and very idyllic and relaxing. Hot tub on the balcony with views of the valley are gorgeous! Highly recommend. Robin and Mike are great hosts!

This beautiful vineyard home was an ideal getaway. Robin and Mike were great hosts and responded to all our questions and requests quickly. Definitely recommend!

I was extremely happy with my stay at Emandare Vineyards in Duncan. The view was lovely, furniture was clean and the hot tub was an absolute pleasure to enjoy in the evening. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful property with spectacular views - eagles soaring overhead and an evening frog chorus! Excellent wine as well! Thank you Mike and Robin for allowing us to share your home.

Great

Beautiful place and very nice owners! We will be back! Thanks

The space was beautiful and clean. The hosts are very nice:) Definately recommend.

The Tractor Shed has an amazing view overlooking the vineyard and Cowichan Valley. There’s no better way to start your mornings then watching the sun rise over the mountains from the hot tub. The Tractor shed has everything you need to enjoy your stay and Mike & Robin are terrific hosts.

The vineyard is a beautiful setting to enjoy a restful retreat. The guesthouse is clean and tastefully designed with a modern country feel. A hot tub off of the master bedroom is the icing on the cake with this property. I would definitely return for another visit!

Beautiful place to stay! All the comforts of home in the peaceful location of a vineyard!

Lovely location -beautiful decor. Close to amenities but away from it all ! Gorgeous view

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!

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.

We had a wonderful stay here. It was peaceful with a great view of the lake.Complementary eggs and a bottle of their rosé were really nice. We would definitely stay again.
