• Sarah (10/5): An awesome stay to sum up our BC adventure. Highly recommend! - The surroundings are just beautiful! Peaceful and serene, with a magnificent garden and seating area outside where you could eat your meals or drink your coffee and enjoy the views of mountains and the water. Though tucked away in a magnificent enclave, it was secluded yet close enough to restaurants and shops that we were never far from anything we wanted. The unit we stayed in was very comfortable and a good sized room. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had a sizeable and lovely spa shower. The breakfast each day was delicious and hearty, and the hosts were lovely. They were available if we needed anything and happy to provide recommendations on places to see, a great hiking trail that we really enjoyed and some great restaurants. This was a 10/10 stay for us and we highly recommend Lauren and Gerry’s bed and breakfast. Nothing
• Patricia (10/5): Perfect vacation spot. - Delicious breakfast, Central location. Beautiful property and Linda and Gerry are great hosts. Spacious Room Private Suite and Patio
• Patricia (10/5): Calm and amazing stay. - Lauren is very kind, and the breakfast is awesome. The location is good, and the garden is amazing, with lots of birds. The fridge is a bit small, but it’s not a big deal — everything else is perfect!
• Jocelyne (10/5): - Location was great, breakfasts were wonderful.
• Malcolm (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was great, garden loverly, bed superb, all good The communial kitchen was a bit awkward especially making the coffee
• Melanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• B (10/5): We enjoyed the beautiful suite with stunning views of Bay and enjoyed delicious breakfasts - Everything was great, the suite was very well designed and decorated with wonderful views and delicious breakfast.
• Brad (10/5): Exceptional - It is wonderful location from which to explore the region especially the nearby coves and marinas. The views from our room and the breakfasts provided were exceptional and Lauren and Gerry's hospitality gracious.
• Meliciousdelicious (10/5): Short and Sweet ❤️ - Perfect getaway! Delicious breakfast, lovely hosts, gorgeous backyard, and peaceful surroundings made our stay unforgettable. Plan ahead: grab groceries before arriving, as the nearest town is 15 min away. Shared kitchen: so don't forget to label your food if you require a fridge. A pub is near by, didn't get a chance to try out the pub, but heard from the other guests that was also staying during our stay and said it was good.
• Anne (10/5): Beautiful, peaceful stay with delicious and plentiful breakfasts! - Beautiful location, delicious food, quiet and peaceful. Nothing!
• William.floch (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was amazing. We dined outside in the beautiful garden and admired the labyrinth.
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - The room was lovely and the bed was comfy! The breakfasts were outstanding! Nothing!
• Sharon (10/5): Magical memories made at Maple Bay Guesthouse - Oh my gosh the warmth you feel from the hosts is exceptional and they truly want to make your experience memorable but also are extremely aware of giving you privacy. The breakfast is above and beyond in both taste, presentation and quantity. This was perfect for us two friends wanting to spend time together but also wanting our own space. We simply loved the details of our rooms coupled with the magnificent garden that you can tell is a labour of love. I will tell everyone I know how fantastic this gem in Maple Bay is - thank you for your hospitality as you are not only 5 star hosts but very genuine individuals who care about their guests! We also met a lovely couple in the room next door and heard our hosts drove them to the location of where there event was - so kind and again above and beyond! Honestly it was amazing - maybe a higher end coffee experience? Not essential but I am a bit of a coffee snob but in the end I would come back 10 times over and just bring my own coffee lol
• Karen (10/5): Definitely a wonderful highlight of our trip :) - It was such a treat to stay at Maplerise Guesthouse. The breakfast, accommodation, our experience and host were superb. It is a little tucked away which made it special as we experienced the local's secret paradise and eateries recommended by Lauren. Loved our stay here :)
• Ron (10/5): Great way to relax, recharge and celebrate this incredible life. - Peaceful, great views, breakfast’s and clean. Nothing
• Steven (10/5): Exceptional - Among the finest we’ve had at a B & B. I would have liked more opportunity to chat with our hosts.
• Michaela (9/5): Superb - The breakfast is an amazing as it looks. The hosts were able to accommodate food allergies as well which was very kind of them. Beds were very comfortable and the view from the patio was great. There is quite a bit of noise transfer from the shared kitchen to the rooms and the neighbours next door made quite a bit of noise the first night in there. Room to room there is more soundproofing
• Amy (10/5): Friendly responsive hosts and a beautiful room. - Because it was the hottest day of the season, we skipped our first night here because there is no A/C. So we stayed on the west coast an extra night. We ended up staying two nights instead of three in this very comfortable room. Our hosts were very welcoming and made sure we had a fan to use. The bedroom was super clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. The room was very well appointed with great attention to detail like lovely soaps in the bathroom. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water and a nice soaking tub. The shared kitchen had all the basics and we appreciated the microwave to heat up leftovers. The location was great for us as we wanted to spend a day at the Raptors and another day on Salt Spring Island. Our hosts told us about a beautiful hike nearby at Stoney Hill Regional Park, so we did that in the late afternoon. That hike was a highlight for us. It was a great hike with views out over the water to Salt Spring Island. Breakfasts were lovely as others have written. Recommended! Air conditioning would help on the hot days like we encountered.
• James (10/5): Excellent property and the breakfast was incredibly delicious. - I enjoyed being able to eat out on the patio with my friends. The garden was wonderful as well. No complaints
• Brian (9/5): Beautiful and comfortable room with lovely views. Very nice landlady. - Breakfast was superb. The room was lovely and opened out onto a beautiful garden with magnificent views. I love having breakfast with the humming birds! Easy access to well equipped kitchen. Although the area around the guest was pleasant enough, there wasn’t much there. It felt rather isolated
• Lingbloom (10/5): Exceptional - A perfect getaway! The room was very comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfasts were amazing and the harem space was very relaxing.
• Wendy (10/5): It is a wonderful place to stay and Lauren has thought of everything - The views are beautiful, very calm place and the breakfasts are outstanding. Nothing, we enjoyed everything
• Carroll (10/5): Great location, great hosting and a special breakfast. - A remarkable location, with natural beauty abounding.
• Joan (10/5): Excellent. Very accommodating hosts and a beautiful setting with fabulous breakfast. - Great hosts, quiet location, wonderful breakfast. Scenic
• Elizabeth (10/5): Just perfect! - Beautiful, relaxing and friendly. The most wonderful breakfasts created by Lauren x Nothing
• Tessa (10/5): AMAZING stay - 15/10!! - I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Guesthouse with my family, and it was an experience that exceeded all our expectations. It offers not just a comfortable stay but incredible breakfast each morning! Our family was staying for a wedding nearby. If you have an event in Maple Bay, it is the perfect location! From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality from Lauren and Gerry made us feel right at home (their communication was also awesome before we had even arrived). The rooms were impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and ensured a restful night's sleep, and the room felt quite cool despite being warm outside. What truly stole the show was the breakfast!! Each morning featured a different array of dishes with fresh juice and coffee that was clearly made with love. We loved our stay at Maple Rise Guesthouse and can't wait for an excuse to come back! Whether you're attending an event or just looking for a serene getaway, this guesthouse promises an exceptional experience that you won't soon forget. Thanks so much, Lauren and Gerry!! Nothing - everything was fantastic!!
• Ken (9/5): Beautiful location and excellent hosts. - Private with incredible breakfast and location.
• Charles (10/5): We had a wonderful stay. Definitely recommended. - Beautiful gardens and outdoor common space. Very relaxing. The common kitchen was very nice. It is not always that you have access to a microwave and fridge at a B&B.
• Jennifer (10/5): We both enjoyed our stay, very peaceful and relaxing - Comfortable room, very well equipped. Outside seating on covered verandah was a bonus. Breakfast was excellent - loved it. Hosts are very welcoming and very helpful. Highly recommended The steps down to the property but we were helped by our hosts and so it wasn’t a problem.
• Sullivan (9/5): Beautiful location with amazing breakfast - The Maple Rise Guesthouse is an oasis in the beautiful Maple Bay area of the Cowichan region on Vancouver Island. The guest suites are private, beautifully decorated, with an incredible view of the garden and bay. The bathroom is large with both a soaker tub and large walk-in shower. The complimentary breakfast is incredible both delicious and healthy. The shared kitchenette is well stocked. The hosts are available but not invasive. The location is on the edge of a large forest preserve with abundant trails for biking and hiking. There is wifi and a smart TV available for use. The guest house is close to the marina, two good restaurants, the Hand of Man Museum, the Raptor Center, and and entrance to Mt. Tzouhalem Park. The location is a bit out of the way so be prepared to either drive, walk along country roads with minimal shoulder, or bring enough extra food for lunch/dinner. The kitchenette is not sound proof and one can hear conversations from the other guest rooms; however, we couldn't hear them from within our suite.
• Andrea (10/5): I had an amazing stay. The bed was comfortable. The sheets were clean crisp and lush. The food was amazing. It felt like - The property is in a very beautiful tranquil setting with an amazing flower garden in levels with a little Zen garden that you can walk around and meditate. There are beautiful hummingbirds flying around the flowers. It makes you feel like you’re in a tropical country somewhere.
• Janene (9/5): Highly recommend and would stay there again in a heartbeat! - Owner was friendly and greeted us upon arrival and discussed breakfast routine for each day, and the ringing of the bell was perfect to let us know our meal was ready and waiting for us! The meals were superb, so healthy and delicious! The beds were comfy, and the property and view was gorgeous. Location was not even 5 minutes from venue. Was a busy time with a sports team staying in other 2 rooms, so parking was a very minor hiccup on only one occasion and nothing we couldnt figure out. Kids weren't keen on the 3 or 4 spider visitors, but what kids are anyways?! Other thank that it was delightful!
• Robert (9/5): Superb - First breakfast was a bit skimpy but the rest of them more than made up. Anyone with an accessibility issue would have a problem with all the stairs. Good sized comfortable room. Excellent bathroom. Would definitely come back.
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joel (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely stay. Everything was perfect including the beautiful breakfasts. Nothing
• Michael (9/5): we enjoyed our stay and highly recommended both for the room and the location - beautiful views, lovely garden setting, beautifully decorated, clean and functional room. shared kitchen was nice for making teas and putting stuff in shared fridge. lovely owners.
• Steve (10/5): Location, ambiance, quality of facility, wonderful breakfast and caring hosts - all was perfect and shall stay again. -
• Manny (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in Duncan with a lovely scenic drive to town. - This is an exceptional place. The owners are very hospitable and friendly. The breakfast they serve is delicious with some of the vegetables and spices grown in their own garden. It is a peaceful setting with a very nice view. I was able to meditate, contemplate and produced a lot of quality work during my stay, which I really needed to do. From the coffee in the morning to the comfortable bed, I would stay here anytime I could. N/A

• Renee (10/5): Beautiful place to stay in a peaceful area. - Lovely property and landscaping, quiet area with view of the bay, host was responsive, beautiful and cozy room, breakfasts were delicious, shared kitchenette had the essentials. I would have liked a bathtub as I saw in one of the room's pictures, I booked the last available suite and didn't realize it was the suite without one. The rainfall shower was very nice though.

• Chrys (7/5): Good -
• Jeri (9/5): This wonderful retreat is warm, welcoming and relaxing. - Breakfast was amazing. Creative, delicious and beautifully presented. The room was ample and the grounds were lovely. The shower was exquisite. Lauren was gracious, friendly and helpful. The soundproofing was not quite as good as I was expecting and the bed was just a tad too firm for my taste.
• Susan (10/5): Loved it! - Breakfast was fantastic, the view was beautiful, the location is a little awkward as you can’t walk to anything, you need a car.
• Bridget (10/5): Would definitely recommend and I would come and stay again! - The breakfast was wonderful, fresh and made a great start to the day! The view was stunning and there was a great outdoor seating area.

• Allison (10/5): Exceptional - Gourmet breakfasts.
• Joanne (8/5): Very good - Hosts were very welcoming. Room was bright and clean with comfy beds. Breakfast was restaurant standard! However we would have preferred a choice maybe of two options incase member of the party couldn't eat what was served. Location is beautiful, a car is a must. Breakfast was restaurant standard! However we would have preferred a choice maybe of two options incase member of the party couldn't eat what was served. Only thing to note is that the shared kitchen is located length ways behind each room, so if someone is making food/drinks in the evening/night or early morning, you could be disturbed.
• Thecla (10/5): One of the best BnBs we have stayed in!! - The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were tasty. The location was great! we over looked the marina yet we were very close to downtown.
• Monica (5/5): Passable -
