Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We want you to look your best, but in whatever way you feel most comfortable. The location is outdoors, though, so please keep in mind that you will be walking on grass and dirt pathways. Plus, keep in mind that Vancouver Island tends to cool down at night. While you'll probably want summery attire in the day, it wouldn't hurt to have some long sleeves for later on in the evening.

Question
Is there public transit to the Maple Grove Guest House?
Answer
Public transit options are available. Check the BC Transit Cowichan Valley website for more details. You can take a number 7 or 2 bus from downtown Duncan, at Canada Ave, and get off right near the entrance to Maple Grove Guest House (15-25 minute travel time). For guests staying in Cowichan Bay, you can also catch the number 8 into Duncan, BC, where you can then hop on the number 7/2, or take a cab. We strongly recommend looking at the schedules and fares and consider catching a cab or renting a car, if need be. Please let us know if you would be interested in a carpool option and we can ask other guests.
