“Every day is a holiday.” That’s the motto of Micky Fleming, co-founder of the Chemainus Garden Holiday Resort. Micky and her business partner Len Wansbrough are developing a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community on 34 acres within picturesque Chemainus, BC. The Resort is ideal for snowbirds and swelter birds who desire a maintenance-free lifestyle and prefer the flexibility to travel.

Located one hour north of Victoria and a half hour south of Nanaimo, Chemainus has many amenities to offer while still capturing the small town feeling. The location and access to services make the Chemainus Garden Holiday Resort a very desirable place to holiday.

Within walking distance are restaurants, boutiques, golf, pubs, health care professionals, a pharmacy, banks, a library and, of course, the famous Chemainus Theatre. Another enticing feature of Chemainus is that it boasts one of the largest seniors clubs on the island with over 1200 members.

Phase One has just been released and brand new Park Model RV’s are available priced from $79,900 plus tax. The beautiful Park Models are bright and airy with vaulted ceilings and lots of windows. Currently, one, two and three bedroom models provide up to 528 sq. ft. with an optional eight ft. built-in porch. The extraordinary finishings include solid wood cabinets, tile and hardwood flooring.

There are many features to choose from including an optional dishwasher, washer and dryer. The Resort offers wi-fi, digital cable, gas, water and sewer. If needed, the homes can be modified for wheelchair and scooter accessibility. Each Park Model is situated on a generously sized rented lot which is landscaped and maintained by staff on-site. Housekeeping and flat linen services are also available.

The amenities offered by the Chemainus Garden Holiday Resort are exceptional. The Resort features acres of ponds and gardens including a food garden which provides fresh vegetables and herbs to the on-site bistro.

Owners are encouraged to invite friends and family to stay at the newly renovated guest suites. Those wanting to host events will enjoy using the 150-seat clubhouse, complete with professional lighting, a projector and on-site catering facilities. The Resort also has a 10,000 square foot off-leash park for animals, bbq sites, access to many trails, and will have an artist’s studio, tennis court, wood workshop and potter’s studio. In the near future a pool and hot tub will be built.

Anyone interested in the resort who would like the opportunity to have a tour of the resort and view the Park Model RV show suites is invited to come to an informational session on either September 18th at 11am or September 25th at 2pm. Alternate viewings can be arranged by contacting Bryan Fleming at 250-886-1659 (Victoria) or 250-246-3569 (Chemainus) or via email at bfleming@chemainusgarden.com
