This air-conditioned homestay comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, a seating area, a dining area and a cable flat-screen TV. Towels and bed linen are offered in the homestay. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. WOW what a great little hideaway in Central Saanich. We were perfectly located to visit Victoria to the South. Sidney to the East and up Island to Nanaimo. On our arrival we were greeted by a warm toasty fireplace going along with a selection of goodies to enjoy. There were also toiletries and other supplies we could use. Nothing was a problem for Robyn our host to help make our stay even more special. This was my friend and mine’s first holiday together and having Robyn’s house feel like home was a blessing. Robyn left us fresh eggs and strawberries in the fridge along with cute little notes telling us how much she enjoys hosting us for the eight days of our holiday. Robyn shared with us all her favourite spots to visit along with us enjoying a wine at her camp site at Island View Beach. Only a few minutes drive from our room, which is a must do while you are staying here. My friend and I enjoyed quite a few sunsets and sunrises at this beach which is filled with driftwood and many structures have been created out of the massive amount of driftwood on this beach. Robyn allowed us time to spend with the chickens in the back yard and even a bbq was available for our use. We enjoyed cooking our own meals in the small but adequate kitchen and the drip coffee maker was a delight. We enjoyed the closeness of The Butterfly Farm and Butchart Gardens. Our days were full of adventure, enjoying the drive coming back to our little home away from home each night. Robyn you are a real gem and offering us your home to share was a delightful experience and cannot wait to visit again. Highly recommended with value for money and a wonderful experience on Vancouver Island.

This guest house offers air-conditioned accommodation with a patio. The property is non-smoking and is set 16 km from Wildplay Element Park. Our hosts were superb as was the space! Quiet, serene, beautifully appointed, and extremely comfortable! We had a luxuriously comfortable sleep which was greatly appreciated after all our trekking around! Our hosts left us a spectacular tray full of fresh fruits, nuts, biscuits, treats and and a whole loaf of freshly baked sourdough bread with homemade jams and sweet butter, which was extremely delicious. There were multiple places to sit and admire the gardens and ocean views and a very cosy firepit complete with blankets to sit and watch the sunrise.
