Vancouver Island's Wine Country, home to Cobble House Bed & Breakfast, is located just 45 minutes north of Victoria, on beautiful Vancouver Island. Along with Cobble Hill, the rural communities of Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay, Malahat, Cowichan Station and Cowichan Bay, make up the area known as the South Cowichan, Gateway to the Warm Land. Victoria, B.C.'s capital, is the main access point to the Island for ferries from mainland B.C., as well as from Washington State (Port Angeles, Anacortes, Seattle -see our links page for information). Cobble House is located halfway between the Victoria ferry terminal and the ferry terminals to the North in Nanaimo. (Phone B.C. Ferries at 1-888-223-3779 for schedule information)
Cobble House Bed & Breakfast is the perfect location from which to explore Southern Vancouver Island!

Once you have come down from the Malahat Drive and have passed the signs for "Bamberton Provincial Park" and "Mill Bay Road/Brentwood Bay Ferry" turn left off the highway at the 4th traffic light, onto Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road. Follow this road for a couple of kilometers and watch for the blue & white "B&B" sign on the right side of the road. Just after you see this sign, turn right onto our road, Cameron-Taggart, and follow it until you see another blue & white "B&B" sign and then our own sign, again on your right.Driving Directions from Nanaimo
Follow Highway 1 south from Nanaimo. Once you have left Duncan over the "Silver" Bridge, travel about 10 km. (about 6.2 miles) and watch for the Valley View Shopping Centre on the left side of the highway. At the following traffic light, turn right onto Cobble Hill Road. Follow it past the village of Cobble Hill and towards Shawnigan Lake. About 1 kilometer past the village, watch for a blue and white "B&B", turn left at the B&B sign at the Earthly Delights nursery, onto Cameron-Taggart Road. Once you have gone over the small bridge on Cameron-Taggart, you will see a blue and white "B&B" sign on your right, just before you see the Cobble House sign on your left.
