Date of Stay June 9, 2015 Helpful votes:1/1 This property is the gold standard of a rental. Starting from making the reservation until we checked out was truly delightful. The suite has everything you could possibly want, is immaculate and the owners just wonderful and very responsive to a question or need. The suite is elegant and the best rental ever. Hope to return. Henny F. Said... Jun 29, 2015 - Exceptionally Beautiful Date of Stay January 5, 2015 Helpful votes:1/1 Overlooking the Mount Newton Valley, the suite is a wonderful place to stay while visiting the Victoria area. I had the pleasure of calling it home for four months this past winter/spring. Beautifully appointed, with top quality furnishings, the suite is very private, wonderfully comfortable and impeccably clean. I loved watching the sunrise from the bedroom and later, as the days warmed in the spring, meals on the patio were heaven. The location, while blissfully rural, is very central with easy access to ferries, the airport, the town of Sydney and villages of Saanichton and Brentwood Bay, beaches and hiking all about 10 minutes away. Downtown Victoria is about 20 to 40 minutes depending on the time of day. The owners are wonderful hosts, graciously making me feel very much at home on their lovely property. The dogs were delightful company, but never intrusive in any way. I am very grateful to have spent four months living there. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Beautiful rural retreat Date of Stay October 8, 2015 Beautiful location in the country and exceptional comfort in the accommodations. We travelled with our two adult daughters and the second bedroom and bathroom was perfect. The kitchen was very well stocked with any condiments we needed for the breakfasts we had together. The fresh fruit and eggs along with a delicious bottle of wine were an unexpected but much appreciated touch. The suite is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable and there were lots of towels in the bathrooms. We felt very special staying in such luxurious accommodations- so much nicer than a hotel.

REVIEWS: "Not only was our stay at the Cottage an impeccable experience, but we now consider the owner part of our family!!! The house is gorgeously styled, all of your needs are met and anticipated, and the location is the best that Victoria has to offer. You are 2 blocks away from all of your needs: shopping at Cook St Village, nature at Beacon Hill Park and a breathtaking view at the ocean. Plus, the downtown core is only a 10 minute walk from here. The property is magical, spotless and the customer service excellent. I wish I could live there all the time!!! " B. Prema "A gem of a rental. Thoroughly charming. The house is gorgeous and sweetly decorated. It was the most comfortable rental we've had. The kitchen had everything we needed. The Owner was the perfect hostess - involved enough to help, but never imposing and extremely respectful of our privacy. The apartment is PERFECTLY located - we could walk everywhere, but when we decided to leave town, it was very easy to get in and out of the city. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch that made us feel very well-taken care of our first night (when we arrived later than expected). I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting." Nicole
