My wife and I, along with another couple, were recent guests at this new bed and breakfast in Canada. This lovely Château overlooking Lake Okanagan seemed at first overwhelming because of its size, but quickly became a comfortable warm, inviting home away from home. Impeccably clean, beautifully furnished, and immensely private, this property has eight bedrooms, an in-house theater, as well as multiple sitting rooms all with fireplaces. Billiards, workout room and a well appointed spa gave many opportunities for distraction, while maintaining a quiet private stay. Every room affords an elevated spectacular view of Lake Okanagan looking towards western exposure. Fenced and secluded 44 acres of lakefront property allows for hiking and new vantage points to enjoy the view. The staff was attentive, friendly, and enhanced the experience with their smiles and enthusiasm. The food provided was imaginative, lovely in its presentation, satisfying and warm.
Although the season did not allow for tennis, a beautifully surfaced, pro-level tennis court is a short walk from the main building. A seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and a separate lap pool are also available. The indoor hot tub in the spa was perfect for a December dip. A steam room and dry sauna rounded out the spa experience.
The grandeur of the experience coupled with a sense of seclusion, security and privacy would be difficult to top. Another visit some day, during the summer months, where we can appreciate the multiple water features, summer foliage and even an exotic car driving experience, will be something to consider...
Read moreOMG! Our short time here was extraordinaire! I will preface that we are very well travelled and used to luxury.This is John's wife! This place certainly did not disappoint!! We were here for my niece's wedding this past weekend. Brian arrived at the kelowna airport to collect the 6 of us in a brand new Mercedes Sprinter Van. He gave us a short history of the Chateau as we were driving and we were enchanted! Kathleen greeted us and showed us to our rooms and gave us a tour of the Chateau. I will keep try to keep this review short...difficult for me. Kathleen is a gem....stayed up ensuring that everyone arrived safely back from the Cedar Creek wedding party, ensuring everyone had a great breakfast, flowers were replace and moved to venues and so much more. The owners are lucky to have this very capable and caring person! A big thank you to Amy!! Pastry chef, omelette, sommelier! We loved her. A special thank you to Chef Josh for his wonderful dinner and lunches. We were not short on calorie intake. Housekeeping was amazing for accommodating our requests. Just loved our time there and only wished it was longer. For corporate retreats or small weddings, I would most certainly recommend. Happy and Safe Travels. on...

The facility has all of the amenities and then some; two infinity lake view pools, a SPA with infrared and steam saunas, hot tub, fully equipped exercise room, and games area complete with a media room which was a particular delight for our 3 grandsons. The tennis court is a professional hard surface court complete with equipment and refreshment amenities. Our bedrooms were very spacious, ornate and complete with fresh cut flowers, and include balconies with spectacular views of the lake. The grounds are well groomed and complimented with all manner of foliage. The very private and secure beach area was a special get away each day for members of the family.
