About this property
Vancouver Island's 69-acre organic farm for comfort and relaxation.
Enjoy the entire 1350 sq ft ground level vacation suite with two private bedrooms; one full bathroom and one ensuite bathroom. Also; a spacious dining room with a large dining table and a comfy living room. The kitchen is large and fully equipped. Private ground level entrance with vehicle parking adjacent to the entrance. Beautiful views of mountains and farm fields. Rivers, lakes, and ocean access very nearby.
Empress Acres Summer 2025 is booking up quickly.
A small family with children would also enjoy this space and everyone will love roaming around the 69 acre property, perhaps following our private farm road to more mountain views and our cute country frog pond.
Minimum 3 night stays available.
For a longer wonderful vacation time at Empress Acres, July and August Summer rates apply at $225 per night. Let us know what days you would like.

About the area
Cassidy
Located in Cassidy, this apartment is in a rural area and on a river. Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and Duke Point Ferry Terminal are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda. Nanaimo Aquatic Centre and Brechin Lanes are also worth visiting. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
