We were lucky enough to be treated to a tour of this amazing property and a brilliant dinner created by the most excellent team of Chef Josh Mueller and Sommelier Amy Paynter! The location, views, company, flavours and service couldn't have been better! We were in heaven from start to finish! Thank-you so much!

OMG! 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 TA... IAMCANADIAN

We were a group of 16 staying 2 nights at the chateau for a milestone birthday. I can express how jaw droopingly beautiful the chateau was. It is hard for the photos to do it justice. I can't imagine anywhere else in North America comparing to this place. You feel like you're in a European luxury villa. The service and food were equally off the charts. Kathleen oversaw everything and was our main point of contact. She did an exceptional job and was extremely accommodating.
I can't recommend enough staying here. It isn't cheap but once you arrive you will understand why.
It is worth the money.

Our daughter chose this wonderful place to be the background for her wedding weekend. We reserved the Chateau for the entire wedding party and invited a few close family and friends to join us for the big day. We could not have dreamed of a more perfect place. It has to be the most picturesque location for a wedding. The accommodations were amazing, including the suites, dining options, spa, movie theater, pools, etc. The grounds were so lovely, and the views, unmatched, from every room. Chef Scott spoiled us every day with scrumptious delights that were oh so tasty, as well as beautiful in presentation. The staff was available 24/7, and handled our crowd with the utmost grace and finesse. We could not have had such a perfect weekend without the help of Kathleen, as she was instrumental in pulling our daughter’s vision together. She knows exactly what to do and how to get it done. She helped us coordinate the itinerary for the weekend and played an integral role in everything turning out so perfectly. Our only regret is that we had to leave so soon. Our hope is to return one day and enjoy The Chateau Okanagan all over again.

My wife and I spent the weekend at Chateau Okanagan and were lucky enough to have our dream wedding at this magical estate.

The entire staff from Kathleen, Brian, and to head chef Scott made our weekend experience everything we could ever ask for.

This venue is something out of a postcard and we feel so fortunate to have experienced our special day at the Chateau.

Unbelievably relaxing and an enjoyable time. 14 of us were lucky enough to spend 2 nights immersed in this amazing experience. We could not have asked for better hosts than Kathleen and Sara. Chef Scott fed us 5 star meals the whole weekend and the Rack of Lamb was unforgettable. The Spa is next level and we made great use of all the amenities, S'mores outside by the fire, cards in the games room, couple racks of billiards, the whole weekend was so good no one wanted to even turn on a TV or use the amazing theater room. Recommend to everyone.

Absolutely amazing experience! Everything was outstanding from the excellent dining experience to the sensational artwork or the beautiful spa with an indoor outdoor hot tub and a wet or dry sauna. The excellent high thread count linens on the very comfortable beds were a dream to behold. Wonderful staff who are more than happy to cater to your every desire will make your stay memorable. Walking trails, a movie theatre and the pool table are only a few of the possibles to enhance your too short visit to this dream of a high end home. Walk to the beach, sit and enjoy the panoramic view or enjoy your family and friends around one of the many indoor or outdoor fire places. Don’t miss out on the private piece of heaven in the Okanagan Valley.

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 for the future.
