I had to go to hospital as I was covered in bed bug bites. I stayed in room 30. The doctor said it was the worst case he has ever see. I feel violated, I had to spend over two hundred dollars on medication.

Check in was friendly and efficient, the room was very clean and comfortable and the coffee, wifi and shower were all excellent. We definitely plan to return the next time we stay over in Duncan. In past years we have stayed in more expensive places which were no where near as nice.

Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay, hotel in Duncan

This all-suite hotel overlooks Cowichan Bay and suites with a kitchenette. It is 13 km from the British Columbia Forest Discovery Center.

Excellent view, we saw seals from our room and there is a nice restaurant on site. The bathroom was quite nice and the kitchen area is equipped enough for a simple meal which you might need to use if you are there on a Monday or Tuesday as most shops and restaurants are closed, On-site restaurant was closed on Monday too.

    Duncan is best experienced outside of town for trails lakes and nature in general. Try an AirBnb. There are a few within 20 minutes or so from town in beautiful settings. To Eat, go to Romeo's. I had one of the award winning pizzas, and it didn't disappoint

    Sadly, this town seems quite depressed, with little that was visually appealing, and many homeless folks wandering the streets. Seems to be a good jumping point, to get fuelled up, get groceries, do laundry etc, before continuing to stay elsewhere.

    The Cowichan Valley region (incl.

    The Cowichan Valley region (incl. Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Lake, Chemainus, Ladysmith.) has restored, sweet, old towns with plenty of outdoor informative signs, images, murals about local history, walking, cycling and equestrian trails to renovated trestle bridges (Kinsol Trestle is the biggest and most impressive one), the best river tubing in the pristine water of the Cowichan river, clean lakes with nice beaches for swimming, ecotourism with wineries, cideries, distilleries and breweries, all in beautiful settings. Don't miss the Hand of Man museum in Mill's Bay. Easily explored within 4 days with a car. All the municipalities are easily explored on foot. We were never disappointed with the food either and they have gluten free options everywhere on the menus.

    I know Duncan well as I was born here.

    I know Duncan well as I was born here. I came to town to attend a concert. I took advantage of the great shopping. I enjoyed dinner at Mr Mike’s prior to the show. Lots of restaurants within walking distance from the theatre and also the hotel.

    This hotel is old, run down, and downright scary.

    This hotel is old, run down, and downright scary. My husband refused to get out of the car! The "guests" who happened to be outside were standing in huddles that appeared more like a drug deal going in. One women was outside her room in saying only a towel. Rooms were full of stale cigarette smoke. Do not book a room here. My only saving grace was that the manager told me the room hasn't been charged yet.

    We've been there many times.

    We've been there many times. Small quaint town; lots of restaurants, shopping and a casino for those who like that (not me), lots of totem poles. We are there every summer to attend the Cowichan Folk Music Festival, which was the reason for this trip as well. Easy to get to by car/bus as the main highway runs right through it; could get there by boat as well. By air would most likely be via Nanaimo or Victoria and then an hour drive either way to Duncan. Outdor music performances every night in July in town.

    It was very close to the Aquatic Centre in Duncan, where I was attending a Swim Meet. It was easy to get in and out of, and close to a number of eating establishments. Parking was next to my room, so that was good. Pretty quiet considering the motel is right beside the main highway. The room had a kitchen, which was useful, and an enormous fridge.

    The location was on the main route and could be seen easily from the highway. A little awkward to get back on the highway from the hotel but manageable. Very close to Walmart if you need a few extra things. Bathroom was small but room was big enough. It was very clean and quiet. Breakfast was plentiful.

    The breakfast was great and she even made us a pot of English Breakfast tea. We liked her garden and lovely to sit out there and watch the birds and the local possum. We particularly liked that it wasn’t smack bang in the middle of tourists hotels etc. It was nice and quiet.

    Everything was great! Over and above our expectations. It was within walking distance from the person we were visiting. It was also easy for us to find our way around Duncan. Loved the extra space compared to a hotel room. Will highly recommend to anyone going to the area.

    it was in a very quiet location despite being beside the trans Canada highway, perhaps because we stayed on the other side of the hotel.
