Dream Weaver Bed & Breakfast

Honestly, such a delightful place. The room brings you back to 1990's decor, but despite the slightly outdated look, it feels warm and inviting, like staying with your favorite grandma, the one who makes fresh cookies and let's you taste the batter. The owners are lovely, kind and punctual, bringing fresh coffee and breakfast to your room each morning. My favorite dish was the baked apple pancake and I adored the homemade jam. This home was a true little treasure, and if you like sweet and old, this is the place for you. It most definitely was my cup of tea. My only slight complaint was that the matress was a bit too firm for my liking. Other than that, this place is a gem and deserves to be praised!

The owners are absolutely amazing,so freindly and polite. The room as impeccably clean and very well stocked with everything you could need. Location is very good. Coffee and breakfast delivered to your room !!!!. The breakfast is very very good . Highly recommend staying here.

The owners are super nice, and very helpful! The rooms could use an update, but everything works well and we had no complaints! Breakfast was tasty and was delivered right on time. Would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable place, a little rustic and great for couples.

A great little spot and convenient location. Decent value. The decor seems a little dated. The spa tub was very nice although not available after 10:30pm. David was friendly and explained everything well. Not a fan of the carpets which seemed very tired. I think a laminate floor would be much better. Room had a portable aircon which was a little noisy but worked. Bed was decent but pillows were not comfortable. The rate included a breakfast which was a bit of a surprise as there is no choice. Just eat what you get. David served us a decent egg Benedict however the eggs were cooked hard and we prefer our eggs soft. There is a slight ocean view. One issue was late in the morning, in the middle of the night when a bunch of drunk people came out the pub and were making a lot of noise that woke us up in the early morning. Overall decent experience. One warning ⚠️ beware of the big cobble stone stairs walkway as you could roll an ankle or break a heel.

This was my first B&B stay – the idea of communal accommodation and dining actually didn't appeal to me. But since I was travelling alone, I thought I'd give it a try. However in terms of B&B's I suspect this is closer to a hotel than some, as each room has its own access: no trekking through family or communal spaces in the middle of the night. The doors are individually coded, so no keys or cards to lose. The house is storytale charming, and the rooms have a Victorian doll house feel. Great touches you don't get in hotels included actual milk and cream in fridge rather than the powdered stuff; a kettle and assorted tea bags; a couple of wine glasses and a corkscrew on the mantle (it's BC wine country after all); books, CDs and a stereo system atop a gas fireplace. Everything is very clean, welcoming and comfortable. David and Florence, the owners are super nice people who set a nice table and serve a great breakfast. They also give great advice about area amenities – pointing me towards the Cowichan Bay Pub for an excellent meal. It's also ideally situated at one end of the Cow Bay tourism strip. Just perfect. I even enjoyed chatting with the other guests – visitors from Great Britain – at breakfast. It was so lovely I booked another B&B in Port Alberni the next night and now I'm a total B&B convert.

Room needs some TLC… some painting and new wallpaper and bedding. Now it is painted burgundy and very dark. The closet doors drag on the rug. The breakfast was disappointing! But some of the good features…gas fireplace, comfy bed, the breakfast was brought to your room. David the owner is extremely friendly and helpful! Would not be our first choice if we visited Cowichan Bay again!

My partner and I have stayed here twice now and The Dreamweaver is an absolute gem!!! I would recommend it to anyone. The Primrose suite is SO kitchy-cute, and the big tub is absolutely luxurious after a long day of hiking. The owners were very cool about us needing to check in late after some flight delays, and David served us a simple, hearty, tasty breakfast each morning at the time we requested - being made gluten-free was no problem at all, and the gf options were so good I almost got worried they weren't actually gf! :) Great service, nice location (walking distance to all the cute shops/restaurants in Cow Bay), and a comfy cozy suite we'll definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful stay here. The owners are a delightful couple. We stayed in The Rosewood Suite. Each suite is separate from the main quarters of the owners. The room we were in was tastefully decorated. Tea and coffee making facilities were in a cupboard which was rather awkward - nowhere else to make coffee. There was a large jacuzzi bath as well as a shower.The bath towels were a generous size and fluffy.||The bed was very comfortable with crisp cotton sheets and plenty of pillows. ||One criticism was there are cobbles outside and no handrail down to the car parking area.||The view from the breakfast room (in the owners quarters) was magnificent.||Breakfast itself consisted of fresh fruit yoghurt and granola followed by fresh homemade baked apple pancake. Fresh coffee - decaffeinated and standard plus fresh orange juice completed our meal.
