Stayed Jun 9, 2023The location right next to UVic was perfect for us. It is an easy walk down the hill to Cadboro Bay, the beach, grocery store, cafe, and a nice restaurant (Thai Lemongrass). Be aware that this is a basement suite. It was clean and quiet, nicely finished with a well equipped kitchen and a very comfortable bed. Good value for a reasonable price. We would stay here again. Thank you!

Stayed May 19, 2023The location was great it was near the university and near the beach. The place is very tastefully decorated, welcoming and comfortable. The outside sitting area is a lovely added touch. It is very quiet and private and I would highly recommend it. The hosts are easy to communicate with and respond in a timely manner.

Stayed Oct 13, 2025Everything we needed in the kitchen & bathroom. Very comfortable. Host communicated very well. I do think the approach to the entrance door around back could be made a little safer by installing railings on the front steps...not super friendly for folks with mobility limitations.

Stayed Sep 9, 2025Barry was a great host. Theres obstructive construction in front of their house so he met me at a close location and led me home. The apartment and gardens are quite nice. Its a bit of a chore getting things from the car down to the apartment and back but otherwise a wonderful stay.

Stayed Aug 14, 2025The property is a basement flat of the main house with its own private entrance from the side and access to the lovely garden. It was comfortable, cosy and quiet. The area is beautiful and we appreciated the shops and restaurants and the bottom of the road. It's a great location for exploring and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Great suggestions on the local restaurants- thai Lemongrass and Smugglers Cove pub. Thanks for your help navigating the construction……hoping it will be done soon.

Stayed Jun 23, 2025We loved to come back to this little home after our daily outings. A short drive to the common tourist locations but also a perfect local playground and beach just minutes down the road. Our mornings and evenings were as peaceful as they could be with four kiddos. We took advantage of the boardgames in the home too and had lots of family fun!

Stayed Mar 19, 2025The suite is very cute and cozy! The only complaint I have is that one of the bedrooms is listed as very private--however, the two bedrooms share a window that has been covered with wood. As a result, our littlest guy could easily be heard by our teens in the bedroom next to us--waking them up earlier than preferred--which didn't feel as private as we'd hoped. Otherwise it was lovely! So many great books there, beautiful location, and responsive and kind hosts. The fireplace is gorgeous, too.

Stayed Sep 22, 2024The accommodation was very quaint. It is a basement walk out suite. Cozy and clean. Rustic furniture. The issue I had was getting my luggage into the suite as you go around the side and it is dirt and soil. Therefore, I had to carry my luggage for about 20 ft. I also had to ensure my shoes were clean and had to wash them as it rained for a day and it soiled my shoes. The upstairs (to the owners living area) is separated by a curtain. However, overall it was nice. Very convenient to UVIC. I didn't have to pay for parking.
