Denise & Tom,
Where to begin... what an amazing stay we experienced in your home...so beautiful! It is a perfect spot to relax and recharge after a smokin hot day on the golf course. The hospitality you've shown is second to none along with the extraordinary food..good heavens that charcuterie board was a work of art!!
Thank you for opening your home for our stay, we'll definitely be back (if you'll have us). We have unfinished business on the Ping Pong table!!

You must stay at Denise and Tom's home! The location is in wine country and it's simply breath taking. The room and home is beautiful and Denise had mimosas and cheese platter for us when we arrived. I cannot say enough great things about this airbnb, I can confidently say this is the BEST airbnb I have ever stayed at, and that is all because of Denise she is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home! When we come back to Kelowna, I will defiantly be staying here again!

Toronto, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·September 2022,·Group tripDenise and Tom were terrific hosts. We highly recommend staying at this AirBnB.
My family recently were in Kelowna for an extended and large family reunion. This AirBnB fit our needs perfectly. Allowing for enough space for all of us. It was also in the right location.
If I had one point of feedback it would be this suggestion. I recommend that Denise and Tom offer breakfasts each day. That would make the stay a littler easier. That said, breakfast on the first day was delicious and on point for our crew who were a mix of vegetarians and vegans.
Mirabel, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2022,·Stayed a few nightsI would recommend this home without hesitation.

Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·June 2022,·Group tripAn absolutely stunning home and Denise made us feel incredibly welcome. Charcuterie board on arrival and the hot breakfast first morning were top notch. We made use of the soccer field behind the place to play volleyball and hang out. Beds and washrooms were all luxury. We will definitely look to return if we come back to Kelowna.

New York, New YorkRating, 5 stars,·August 2021,·Group tripThis was our second stay with Denise and Tom. The place is beautiful and the hosts are phenomenal.

Edmonton, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2021,·Group tripThis place was amazing, you can’t find a better AirBnB. We were greeted with a massive charcuterie plate, woke up to the best breakfast and were well stoked with fresh fruit and treats throughout the weekend. Denise and Tom were great hosts, very attentive to the details. They were around but never intrusive on our privacy. The place has everything you could dream of to keep large groups entertained. We were on a golfing weekend and there were awesome courses within a 5-10 min drive. I could not recommend more, thank you Tom and Denise for an unforgettable weekend!!
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2021,·Group tripThank you Denise and Tom for welcoming us into your beautiful home for the weekend. We appreciate all the little gestures and the amazing breakfast spread. You guys definitely made our stay memorable.
Edmonton, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2021,·Stayed a few nightsWhat an amazing stay!! Denise & Tom are great Super Host's and run a top notch B&B. The space was wonderfully prepared upon arrival with everything you'd ever need and the breakfast as well as snacks provided were second to none. Will definitely stay with them again.
5 years on AirbnbRating, 5 stars,·June 2021,·Stayed a few nightsThis stay was better than a hotel. We were travelling as two couples, and appreciated the beautiful rooms each having our own gorgeous onsuite. Denise provided an amazing charcuterie platter which was also enough for dinner the first night. It was quite hot while we were there and the AC was sufficient and gave us room inside to relax, plus some nice patio furniture for lounging in the evenings. We would definitely recommend
Langley City, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·September 2020,·Stayed a few nightsYou will not be disappointed with your stay at Aura. Denise is a magnificent host and every detail has been well thought out. The rooms were stunning and clean, her food was mouth dropping and tasty (Picture worthy ) !!! The common space has everything you would need to feel at home. Denise’s knowledge of Kelowna is incredible and we had great suggestions for wineries , dinners and activities, we loved the central location too. It was truly memorable holiday.
Calgary, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·September 2020,·Group tripWe had a wonderful stay at Denise and Tom’s beautiful home. They go above and beyond in every aspect. Their home was sparkling clean, incredibly comfortable, spacious and our breakfasts were delicious and plentiful.
We would definitely love to stay here again and would highly recommend their home.

Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·August 2020,·Group tripGreat breakfasts, amazing hosts, spacious rooms, wonderful amenities.
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·August 2020,·Group tripBeautiful property! Extremely spacious for the 7 of us and the perfect space for us girls to relax and enjoy each others company. The property was gorgeous so we loved sitting outside for our meals and to chat. We also appreciated the beautifully laid out breakfasts in the morning as we got to fully relax before starting our day. Denise was responsive and a lovely host.
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·August 2020,·Group tripDenise and Tom are such amazing hosts. The breakfasts were amazing and the house is beautiful. They had a huge field for my friends and I to enjoy. Would highly recommend!!!
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2020,·Group tripWe had an incredible stay at the Aura B&B where we hosted a family reunion. The home is gorgeous with ample room for a family of 6-8 to enjoy. We were delighted with the backyard which includes a massive yard for sports and games and ample seating areas for outdoor entertaining. Denise was a pleasure to communicate with all the way through and directed us to some of our new favourite wineries in the Okanagan. The whole space is filled with lovely touches that made our stay special. Lastly we can't say enough about the breakfast, it was absolutely beyond. Thank you Denise & Tom for hosting us, we can't wait to return!
Edmonton, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2020,·Group tripDenise and Tom are wonderful hosts. Beautiful house, lots of space to relax, enjoy the sun, and play games. Beds very comfortable. Best of all Denise and Tom are extremely helpful with local guidance. They would drop off little breakfasts each morning, as well as a hot brunch, snacks, and so on. They really went above and beyond.
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2020,·Group tripOur group is already planning for a date to go back! From the breakfast, to the charcuterie board, to the chocolate, there was always a bite to eat around the house which was fantastic. Our favorite part by far was the stunning backyard which we used to play soccer, ultimate frisbee, ping pong, and even a mini baseball game. The grill is also fantastic for enjoying the evening and hanging out with everyone outside. We also were probably a little noisy with all of the sports going on but it really felt like we had our own space and we appreciated the privacy we had even though Denise and Tom were around.
Highly recommend this place if you want a beautiful play to stay at with a multitude of outdoor games and activities!
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2020,·Group tripThe amazing hosts, the beautiful home, the serene environment, and the variety of amenities make this place an ideal location for a group who wants to unwind and explore Kelowna.
Victoria, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·June 2020,·Group tripThis is the perfect place for a group— tons of space indoors and out, a place to cook, games, and spacious rooms and two bathrooms.
The place is very clean and the hosts really look after every detail. We loved the charcuterie and breakfast, played two intense games of croquet outside, had ping-pong rallies, enjoyed the living area inside, and slept so, so well.
Would certainly recommend without hesitation.
Tauranga, New ZealandRating, 5 stars,·December 2019,·Stayed a few nightsTom and Denise are superb hosts. The accomadation, food and hospitality is of a very high standard and excellent value. We very much look forward to returning in summer and would highly recommend a stay.
Surrey, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·September 2019,·Stayed a few nightsThis was my first experience booking through Airbnb and staying at a bed and breakfast. We came for a girls trip and we loved every minute of our stay. Loved the backyard patio! It was a great way to relax and just have fun with the girls. Denise was wonderful! Can’t wait to go back 😊
Vancouver, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·August 2019,·Group tripDenise and Tom's place was the highlight of the trip for many in our group. It's a beautiful, relaxing, well decorated place that makes you feel at home. We loved making use of the stash of board games, the outdoor ping pong table, and badminton rackets. They have a large grass field with soccer nets and a bin of assorted equipment to have fun with. We didn't plan for it, but we ended up playing in the yard like kids for a few hours. It made our mixed group of friends feel like one big family that's home for the holidays.
The home has a great layout with multiple group seating areas including the kitchen bar, the living room area, the kitchen table, and an outdoor seating area next to a barbecue. We made use of their great sound system (using Spotify Connect to hook into their Sonos soundbar with a sub and surround speakers) and had mood music playing in the background during our entire stay there. The bedrooms are laid out great and one of the bathrooms (shower and toilet) has two separate rooms attached with sinks so two other people can get ready while one person is showering, not including the ensuite bathroom. The pictures don't really do the home justice.
When we arrived, Denise welcomed us into her home and then swiftly went off to make the first of her amazing charcuterie boards. She came back soon after and our jaws dropped at the sight of what she had prepared. She gave us tips on what to see in the area and answered any questions we had regarding surrounding wineries and restaurants. She even had a hotel style book documenting her recommended places to visit.
The next two mornings were met with amazing breakfasts which Denise scheduled with us. They were a variety of beautiful and tasty foods that everyone enjoyed and there was no short supply of it for our group of 8.
The morning we left, we snagged some pictures of our group and got some with Denise and Tom. Just something to remember our amazing hosts of Kelowna 2019.Show more
Burnaby, CanadaRating, 5 stars,·July 2019,·Group tripDenise and Tom have been the most gracious host and made our trip unbelievable. Their hospitality will never be forgotten.
