Victoria, BC · 1 site

A quiet, private yurt tucked into the land — a place to slow down, unplug, and settle into a different rhythm for a night or two. Simple, off-grid, and intentionally unpolished in the best way.This space was created as a place to step out of the usual pace of things. Not a resort, not a curated luxury stay — just a simple, well-loved yurt on private land, with the basics you need to rest, cook, and spend time outside. The yurt sits a short walk from the parking area, on the edge of a clearing near the pond. Immersed in nature, you’ll hear birds, wind through the trees, & maybe the ducks chattering near the pond. Wild flowers and towering trees surround the space, which is private and self- contained. Inside the yurt, there’s a comfy queen bed, a small wood stove for cooler nights, and a simple, cozy setup. No grid power — just rechargeable lighting and a slower pace. Outside, you’ll have access to: – a covered outdoor kitchen space (propane burners + charcoal grill) – a hot/cold outdoor shower – composting outhouse – propane fire pit lounge area It’s a place that tends to invite a different kind of stay — slower mornings, earlier evenings, time outside, simple meals. At times, we also open our private Nature Spa space (wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and cold immersion), though availability varies seasonally, especially through the summer months due to fire restrictions. If you’re interested in accessing the Spa during your stay, check out our "Extras" during booking - we try to keep it updated with whats available. This space tends to be a good fit for those who: – enjoy simple, off-grid stays – are comfortable tending a fire if needed – appreciate quiet, nature, and a bit of independence It’s probably not the right fit if you are: - Looking for a fully serviced or luxury experience - Needing constant power, Wi-Fi, or modern amenities - Highly sensitive to ambient noise. Depending on the season, the frogs in the pond are loud at night! And there is the occasional hum of traffic noticeable during peak rush hour. If you’re looking for a cozy, nature-immersed place to land for a couple of days, this space is here for you.

2 nights at theDoighouse Earthship

Was greeted by Tony. One of the owners of the space was very courteous to show us our stay and the amenities around. Love that we were free to pick the raspberries to enjoy at our leisure. It was a comfortable stay at the Maple cabin with my wife and pup. Our tenting days are coming to an end. Having a cabin is helping the transition.

2 nights at Camas Creek Retreat

This is a fantastic, cozy, fun place to stay! A true Vancouver Island experience. We got to experience the wildlife, and natural beauty of the island in the best way :). Thanks to our hosts for being so so hospitable!
