Everything you need to know about the stunning filming location of Netflix's Million Dollar Secret. The second season of the competition series is now streaming, featuring 12 contestants battling for a huge cash prize. To win, they must identify who among them secretly holds a million-pound prize while aiming to possess the money box at the game's end.
Where is Million Dollar Secret filmed?
The Netflix series refers to the location as The Stag, and you could book a stay there yourself. The show is filmed at the spectacular Château Okanagan in Kelowna, Canada. This private estate sprawls across 44 acres on the shores of Okanagan Lake. Production company 4filming describes the venue as "known for its French-inspired elegance" and "sits on the shores of Okanagan Lake, offering breathtaking views and an exclusive atmosphere."
Can you stay at the filming location?
Yes, the château can house up to 16 guests with luxury amenities including a wine cellar, ballroom, and private beach house. Extras are available at an additional cost, such as wellness treatments, wine tasting, and even helicopter transfers from the airport. Its website indicates a minimum three-night stay. The property is split into two options: the Grand Residence or the Estate Villa for smaller groups. Usually, it operates on a single-reservation basis, meaning guests have exclusive use of the venue. It comes fully staffed with a chef, concierge, and valet services.
History of Château Okanagan
Originally built by the German Holzhey Family in the late 1950s, the former family home now operates as a private villa and wellness spa. The booking website indicates various prices depending on the date and number of guests booked, ranging from approximately $2,000 (£1,475) a night for one room or from $40,000 (£29,500) for the entire Grand Residence.
Hosted by Liverpool-born comedian and actor Peter Serafinowicz, the show has been compared to series like The Traitors and Hotel Fortune. While the group tries to identify the secret millionaire, they also take part in daily challenges and earn clues to the millionaire's identity.
