Staying at SUN LOTUS - Minimum Double Occupancy Only
SUN LOTUS, accessible by city bus, and less that one hour from either Victoria
or Nanaimo, is situated in the countryside between the towns of Duncan &
Lake Cowichan, in the beautiful Cowichan Valley (www.cowichan.net).
Whether you arrive by bicycle, automobile or on foot, young or old, if you have
a good nature you are welcome at SUN LOTUS! (children under 15 need to be confirmed
with us first—for general guesthouse bookings).
Originally called The Warm Land by the First Nations peoples, the Cowichan
region offers Canada's only maritime-mediterranean climatic zone. The undulating
warm crystal waters of the Cowichan River, the rolling fertile valleys, surrounding
Ocean and endless sunshine makes this pristine environment ideal for a wide
variety of BC eco-tours or for simply relaxing in the sunny, fresh, and peaceful
setting found at SUN LOTUS.
Our spacious Westcoast-style house is nestled in a 7.5 acre picturesque hideaway
overlooking a gorgeous view of a large private pond, giant old growth trees
& mountains. We are economical, and have a relaxed, casual environment;
yet lots of wonderful amenities.
There is lots to look at, and in time you will realize that many things at the
Guesthouse have been hand-crafted or created using recycled, reused, found,
donated or handmade materials.
With a cozy private bunkhouse that sleeps 2-10, a giant white tipi situated
on its own sunny private beach that sleeps 2-4, a large breezy main house, a
stunning view, lots of shady decks, beautiful gardens, plenty of space for relaxing
and a huge pond for gazing at or swimming you may actually have to push yourself
to go out and explore the area. You should. The beautiful biking, hiking and
river-tubing makes it a wonderfully economical Vancouver Island getaway!!
To keep our place clean and safe, WE DO NOT provide a common kitchen. A continental-style
breakfast comes with all accommodations, and usually includes bagels, cereals,
fruit, toast, cheese and various spreads, and Coffee & Tea.
** Please note: To keep ants away, eating is not permitted inside the accommodations**
SUN LOTUS is accessible by city bus from Duncan (except Sundays) and it is
easy to find using the driving directions. All travel information is located
on the "GET HERE" page.
