Feel free to message the host through the Airbnb app. I’ll field your questions, whether to do with letting you know the distance from house to your work, planning activities during your stay, or navigating the journey to get here. Sometimes there’s a more relaxed route. To make the most of your stay in the Cowichan Valley, ask me about: - local music venues and what’s coming up - kayak rentals - fun vineyard bus tours - meeting a traditional totem carver: attending a local workshop - hiking or biking the local mountains Down the road, Maple Bay has a friendly beach, boat launch, and a pub. Down Genoa Bay Road is Maple Bay Marina and Genoa Bay. Also a quick drive down Tzouhalem Road is popular Cowichan Bay. Kayak rentals and whale watching excursions normally operate in one or more of these locations, in addition to fantastic eateries and viewpoints. A transit bus runs near the home, but not early or frequently. A vehicle is a requirement for most people around here. It’s a short drive to area hikes on Mount Tzouhalem and mountain biking trails on Maple Mountain. Drivers: watch out for deer, especially at dusk.
