Lakefront playground in safe and beautiful Victoria on BC's Pacific west coast.

This was a beautiful location in Langford. The portion of the house we stayed in was large and spacious. Our host, who lived on site, was very informative and knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend this to anyone looking to be close to Victoria but in a peaceful setting.

This property was spectacular. The lake setting, the house, the deck, the barge... all just made for a serene, beautiful, and relaxing girls trip. So quiet and both sunrise and sunset were amazing.Downtown Victoria was only a 15 minute drive away and we very much enjoyed our time there.

This is a gorgeous property with amazing view of the lake, super fun barge and tiki bar. We all loved the swimming. You could have a wedding or other celebration in the well-kept yard with all the extras. We had a small plumbing problem but were very satisfied with the timeliness of the tap repair. Our host was wonderful! Great place for the whole family!

a beautiful spot and great host. No issues at all. We were 6 adults and the bedrooms and bathrooms and kitchen were great. House worked good for someone with mobility issues. The lake was so awesome. Parking was easy. Amenities nearby were great.

Wonderful area ! Great food nearby ! Great walking trails nearby. Had a boat ride and enjoyed the area. excellent communication with host. Hopefully get to come back next year.

Imagine: You arrive at Waterlily and expect a tour around the house. Instead the host invites the whole family to join him on the floating deck for a tour around the lake! Brilliant! Although the house was perfect, this place is all about the garden, the lake, the fruittrees and the swimming. It’s a little paradise on Vancouver Island! The host is the best host ever, modest and at the same time very helpful. We live in Europe, but if we ever come back we would certainly visit this wonderful place in Langford again!

Better than advertised. Great location. Great lake to relax at with the kids. All around great time. Very knowledgeable host who shared some of his favorite spots to visit as well as places to eat.

We enjoyed our stay at Waterlily Lane Cottage. The house was perfect for our family with plenty of room, ample equipped kitchen, bedding, towels etc. Plenty of outdoor activities to keep us busy. Would have been good to have noted the large amount of water weeds making swimming uncomfortable, having to use water floatation to get out on the lake far enough to swim. The rope swing and barge were a huge hit. Having the fire pit was a fun night time activity. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Richard.

This was a perfect spot for us. The neighborhood is quiet but yet close to downtown Victoria. Hiking abounds, some just a couple of miles away. The house was just as advertised and accommodated our needs in everyway. The dock and barge are a delightful bonus.

We’ve had a great stay in this lakefront house. Beautiful views, quiet location, clean house with all the supplies we needed in the kitchen and bath. Richard is a great host, very friendly, always available to reach out to us if needed. We had a super fun time on the lake using paddle boards, the barge, making fire - a truly unique experience.

Beautiful property by the lake. Rochard is a great host. Lots of fun and relaxing activities

Lots of room for our group of 6. Had everything we needed. Fantastic spaces both inside and out to mingle and chill. Awesome grounds, decks and docks. Really great privacy while having all the conveniences of stores and restaurants close by. Spotless. Rich welcomed us warmly and walked us through the property

We had a wonderful week at this location. The lake was lovely and it was nice to use the barge to go for a float. The host was very responsive to messages and very accommodating!

Very comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed the lake but didn't attempt the barge as days were rainy and windy. Owner very accommodating.

We recently stayed at this lakefront property for 5 days with a group of 5. The location is fantastic, offering beautiful views of the lake from the house and yard. The private dock and lake access make it easy to enjoy the water at any time. We only used the electric motor 'party barge' (which was very easy to use) and canoe a couple of times but if we had stayed longer with better weather, I am sure we would have used them more. The property's proximity to Victoria’s attractions made our outings easy and we also made use of the nearby YMCA & walking paths. Shopping and restaurants are within a couple of km of the house and it was very convenient to pop out and get groceries or whatever we needed. Important points to note: The property is shared with other tenants in two attached suites, which didn't really affect our privacy, but we could hear the upstairs tenants at night. The property is older and shows signs of needing some TLC. Additionally, the house is currently on the real estate market (as of Aug 2024), and there was a scheduled showing during our stay. The owner was able to accommodate us and book the showing around our schedule. Overall, the location, private dock, and lake access are the best features of this property.

Relaxing and private location. We enjoyed the lake view from patio and covered dock with party barge. Owners were very helpful and gave us some great recommendations on places to see. Fans and portable air conditioner were supplied for the hot weather. Comfy beds and cozy house.
