As of July 29, additional regional measures have been put in place by Interior Health, for Kelowna and the Central Okanagan, to help reduce COVID-19 transmission. We ask visitors and residents to follow these guidelines to keep our community and each other safe.

As part of these measures, individuals (12 and up) are required to wear a mask in indoor settings and officials are recommending individuals wear a mask in outdoor settings where physical distance cannot be maintained. Public health officials are not recommending travel to or from the region for those who have not been fully vaccinated.

December 4, 2020:

The new order by the BC Government limits the number of people in rental properties. Since we have existing occupancy policies already, your reservation will not be affected. However, no person who is not an occupant may be present at a private residence or vacation accommodation, except as provided for in part C, sections 2, 5, 6 and 7 of the new Provincial Health Order. This must be strictly adhered to or you will be asked to vacate the property without refund.

Please also be advised that The BC Government is also requiring us to have a complete list of names of every one staying in a cottage, along with their telephone number and email.

La Casa Cottage Resort’s Response to COVID-19

What we are doing:

Our number one focus at the moment is keeping our guests feel safe, secure and comfortable. We have been working twice as hard to ensure our disinfecting policies are met. Each cottage is a detached house meaning our guests will have no interactions with other guests. La Casa Cottage Resort is a gated community which gives our guests the safety they need. By our contactless check-in and check-out procedure, our guests will not have to interact with any staff for the duration of their stay.

Staff Cleaning Procedures:

We have come up with guidelines for our staff when cleaning our cottages:

Wear protective gear while cleaning
- Disposable gloves and masks
Ventilating rooms before each clean
Washing hands thoroughly before and after each clean
Clean, then disinfect
- We are using soap/detergent to remove dirt, grease, dust and germs then spraying surface with disinfectant
Avoiding touching our face while cleaning
Using the right disinfectant
- Our disinfectants kill viruses, fungicides and bacteria.
Cleaning sofas, rugs, curtains and soft surfaces as well
Washing all of our linens at the highest temperature setting on our commercial washing machines.
Cleaning and disinfecting laundry baskets and hampers
Emptying the vacuum cleaner after every cleaning
- Wiping down vacuum cleaner as well
Disposing and washing of used cleaning supplies

We have daily symptom check lists for staff to fill out and sign to stay up to date with their wellbeing. All staff members who exhibit even minor cold symptoms, such as runny nose, cough or sore throat, are also being asked not to come to work and to self-isolate and maintain social distancing practices.

In case of symptoms:

To protect yourself and others, we please ask you to refrain from visiting if you are feeling unwell. This is to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone. If you are unsure if you should visit, please asses yourself and take into consideration this symptoms chart from the World Health Organization:

We wish you the best of health and wellness to you and your families! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at rentals@lacasacottageresort.com.
