Magical place in the rainforest
This astonishing house sits in a huge property in the middle of the rain forest that includes its own pond and trails. Beautifully landscaped, the owners have taken care of every little detail around the house. We spent the entire fall and part of the winter at the Gong suite. The main room looks more like a presidential suite than a bedroom, and the massive windows overlooking the canopy forest are just unreal. Very nice porch and fire pit area below as well.Although too cold to swim in the pond, taking daily strolls around it and the trails was amazing and super peaceful. Our dog has never been happier, he enjoyed his private trails very much. He also became best friends with their 3 dogs, Mick, Leo and Sasha and now he misses them very much! The apartment is very comfortable, we loved spending days in it looking at the rain. The furniture has an elegant style that makes it very unique. The king bed is super comfortable, great rest on it. The kitchen area is separated in a different room and is also very spacious.Everything is neat and clean, Katy does a superb job. We had the apartment cleaned every week and access to the laundry also once a week. There is so much space that you hardly see the other guests and the privacy level is very high.Overall impressive real state that we were extremely lucky to share with Rob and Jo-Ann who are also part of making this experience so incredible, really beautiful people with great hearts. I understand now the exceptional reviews..

It was such a lovely spot with so much to do and see, I wish I had more time to just relax and enjoy everything on the property! Our dog loved it just as much as we did! He got to be off leash and make new friends and explore so much without us having to worry. It was a lovely getaway! We'll definitely be back

Amazing getaway
We had so much fun at this great getaway. Our granddaughters swam, explored, picked and ate blueberries and blackberries, made homes for frogs. And in the evening when we were tired there was plenty of room for them to lounge and watch their favourite tv shows.

Delightful, divine elegance with so much to do & enjoy
How can I even begin to describe the extravagance of this place. It was incredible. It is very clear the hosts love what they do and take great pride in their property. I have never stayed in anything near as ornate and incredible! The decor and amenities are top-notch, just above and beyond. It's stunning, from the suite to the property grounds to the lagoon to even the little things, the TINIEST of details was covered. It has everything you need, it's a resort property with a cozy 'bnb feel. And of course the lagoon is beyond amazing. All aaaalll the things were there. Everything you need here is provided for. You don't even need to leave or do anything else but enjoy the space here. What an absolute treat to stay here It was the ultimate finish to our vacation on the island. ❤️

Adair Spring break trip
We arrived in the pouring rain and yet Joanne was outside to welcome us and ensure we knew where to park to best suit the front door access. We were thrilled when we walked in, the photos didn’t do the property justice as it was so much better than we had imagined it was going to be. Our coffee and baileys on the couch overlooking the wooded backyard quickly became a morning ritual - it was such a peaceful way to start our day! The muffins, cookies, fruit and juice was an added touch as were the other little things that made us feel very comfortable in our ‘home away from home’. We would really love to go back in the summer months to utilize the beautiful pond; it was very inviting. Thank you Robert and Joanne for giving us a place to ‘break up with stress’, now we start dreaming until next time.

Beautiful property, excellent hosts!
I recently stayed in the Gong Suite for three nights, and it was a wonderful experience. The room was clean and very comfortable, and the hosts were friendly and helpful. The highlights for me were the pond and nature trails, which provided ample places for me to walk and exercise my 5-year-old pup. If you are in the Metchosin area, Hidden Pond is the place to stay. I definitely am planning to return next year!
