Welcome to Metchosin! We are a small rural community just outside Victoria, where farms, forests, beaches, wildlife, local food, and the occasional tractor set the pace.

*A farm stay in the heart of Metchosin*

Come experience the best of rural South Vancouver Island with a stay at our unique farm property. Whether you're looking for a peaceful rural retreat only 35 minutes away from downtown Victoria, an active West Coast getaway, or a meaningful connection to farming and local food, this accommodation offers a distinctive Metchosin experience.

Our spacious, peaceful, and recently furnished, 4-bedroom house offers guests the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the countryside while being within easy walking distance of local cafés, a microbrewery, trails, farmers market, community shops and small businesses. The property is located on a quiet dead-end road, offering a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently close to Metchosin's village centre. Beaches, hiking, and other West Coast adventures are just a short drive away.

Start your morning in the bright sunroom, where large windows offer beautiful natural and rural views. The well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients, to enjoy at home or take with you as you explore the area. After a day of exploring, unwind in the spacious living areas, have some fun in the game room, or gather around the fire pit in the gazebo.

*A genuine farm experience*

The Parry Rd Farmhouse is more than a place to stay—it is also an opportunity to connect with a working farm and learn about Metchosin’s local agriculture. Your hosts, Alex and Virginie, operate Wind Whipped Farm, a nearby market garden in operation for over 15 years. They also operate the Local Food Box, which provides access to great quality seasonal foods and supports local producers.

During your stay, you will receive a complimentary assortment of seasonal farm produce, with its contents and value varying according to the season and what is available, and credits to shop at our farm stand.

Based on your interests, we can also offer a range of agri-tourism experiences, depending on your interests and seasonal farm activities. Options may include:
- Our farm story: Learn how the farm began, why we farm, and our vision for the future.
- Growing and harvesting: Discover the fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other crops that are in season, while learning about cultivation, harvesting, handling, and storage.
- The Metchosin farming community: Learn about the local farms and food producers that make Metchosin’s agricultural community so vibrant.
- Hands-on experiences: For those who want to volunteer, opportunities may be available to join our farm team for seasonal activities such as field work, harvesting for local markets, or gleaning produce for local food banks.

If you’d like to get involved, please contact us. We will be happy to learn about your interests, share information about what’s available, and create an experience that’s right for you.
