You know when you experience something exquisite and you go back a second time and it's not quite as good? WELL THIS PLACE WAS EVEN BETTER THE SECOND TIME AROUND! We stayed with Vanessa & Dwight two years ago and enjoyed ourselves so much we went back again a few weeks ago! Their amazing hospitality, scrumptious food, beautifully appointed rooms,... More

Dwight was the perfect host (his wife was away, so he handled everything - cooking, cleaning, hosting, canoe guiding, expertly on his own. The home is spacious and attractive, the breakfasts were great, and canoeing to dinner was a unique experience.

Our stay here was at the end of two weeks in Canada, including the Canadian Rockies and Vancouver. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. Dwight and Vanessa could not have been more gracious or welcoming. We stayed in the larger room that was ample in size for the four of us, with plenty of space in... More

Affinity Guesthouse is simply superb. The guesthouse is beautiful. It has 2 rooms, the larger of which is LARGE, with a king bed, a walk-in closet, large bathroom and a sitting area with a pull-out couch. The property is also vast and fronts on a river, which at low tide provides a beach and at high tide provides excellent canoeing... More

The property and the surrounding area are absolutely beautiful; the perfect setting for relaxation. Dwight and Vanessa are incredibly friendly and are extremely helpful hosts. All of their food and activity recommendations were spot on. And the breakfasts... More

If you believe in magic, you simply must stay awhile at the Affinity, and experience it first hand in the exquisite surroundings and the remarkable hospitality of the hosts. As many before have written, the Affinity is at the end of First Nations land, which is rather untidy. However, to hear one of the band singing by the water's edge... More

We spent two wonderful nights. Took advantage of an opportunity to take a fun voyageur canoe trip to dinner and back. Great breakfasts. Great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Very nice hosts. Set your GPS to find the city of North Cowichan if the address isn't recognized as a Duncan street...that was the only tricky thing... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Cowichan's friendliest B&B, wedding and special event destination. We won’t bore you with the details about our beautiful waterfront acreage, en-suites, wireless internet and blah blah blah. We’ll save you some research time: we attract healthy, adventurous people that love the outdoors and the environment. Most of our guests listen to CBC, NPR or other interesting radio and appreciate good conversation, fresh food, great wine, cycling, hiking and paddling. If you are still reading this, you are a likely guest at Affinity Guesthouse: our guests are thorough, look for something outside the box, expect quality and don't like doilies. Does that sound like you? ... more   less
