I almost don't want to give it a rating because I lived how quiet it was, but it's lovely. It's been lovingly renovated and a short walk to everything. I've already booked another booking!

Lovely little motel! Very clean and comfortable. Was a 10 min walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the river tubing. Self check-in was a breeze. Although there’s no front desk/lobby the motel is available by phone. Someone was there shortly after we checked in and made sure everything was all good as we were heading out for a walk. Definitely would stay here again!

What a great stay we had while our young nephew was attending hockey camp at Lake Cowichan Rec centre. We were very grateful for the very early arrival we were gifted as we had to be at the first hockey practice so early in the morning. Thank you! The suite was lovely and perfect for what we needed accommodations for. Nice private bedroom, comfortable pullout bed in the living room area for our nephew. The kitchen facilities and bathroom areas had everything we needed. So nice and quiet, very safe environment, good parking, walkable to the rec centre, very nice renovations and sparkling clean. Thank you for everything. We would certainly return and would highly recommend South Shore Motel to others.

The property was recently renovated and it is very nice! It suited the 3 of us well. The only issue was we smelled mold as soon as we opened the door. It seemed to be coming from the bedroom area. We also would have preferred a fridge versus a wine chiller. But this place was amazing! We loved how roomy, clean and quiet it was.
