Nice house in a quiet neighbourhood. Perfect for our extended family gathering. Lots of space, appliances great, hot tub very nice and nice views out towards Victoria.
The property was lovely and the perfect setting for our family vacation. It was quiet, peaceful, and just a short hop to the city for our sightseeing activities! It was even larger and more beautiful than in the pictures.
We were a group of 8 gentlemen on a 4-day golf trip to Victoria, during our course in Vancouver, spring maintenance week.All were thoroughly impressed with the house, ammenities and views from the kitchen, patio and hot-tub.Would stay here again, in a heart beat.
There were 10 of us and the extra space to hang out worked out well. It was great for cooking and dinners at home. Good size deck for relaxing enjoying the view. There were a few things we suggested to the management company that could be improved. Overall we were happy with our stay.
Great spot. Well appointed. Loved to watch the big game in the theatre room. We loved the afternoon sun on the deck. Close to the Bear Run golf course.
Vancouver Island mountain biking and nature appreciation
Fantastic house for a large group. Comfortable, great neighborhood, and location. Theater room and hot tub were nice bonuses.
Would definitely stay there again.
Natures Gate is the perfect space for large families. It is very conveniently located to all of Victoria. There are great views, lots of wildlife and plenty of space to enjoy your vacation.
Beautiful clean home that had everything we need. The view and the hot tub were amazing! The beds were also super comfy and the neighbourhood was very nice too. It fit all of our friends comfortably. Would definitely recommend a stay here!
Property was perfect for group of 8 on a golf trip. No complaints, would stay here again or recommend if anyone was looking for a fantastic place in a great location.
Was a great spot for our buddies golf trip.
Close to courses, beautiful view, hot tub, seven beds.
The king master had to be shared but that was ok.
Very good.
The house was excellent for our needs. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The view was fantastic. With 6 people, we had lots of room to spread out. We all especially liked the hot tub
The property was beautiful!!! Everything was over great it was just a bit far for a large group to get around (group of 8) lots of Ubers nothing within walking distance.. you definitely need a car..We did leave coffee and some condiments for the next group of people which is always nice to have in the fridge!!
Overall we loved our stay. Some aspects of the house looked a bit rough around the edges for the type of listing (lights burnt out, minor drywall damage). Didn’t overall impact our stay. Loved the hot tub, especially with the northern lights!!

Thank you for staying with us Wolfram and Anne! We are so happy you enjoyed Nature's Gate as much as we do!
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful VRBO.. It.
was nestled up in the woods, where it was very quiet, and close enough to the stores and restaurants that we needed.. It was equipped with everything in the kitchen upstairs that we needed.. It had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everybody, a nice washer and dryer...... Thank you so very much .
From the booking to the check-in process to the actual venue was fantastic. The house is large and comfortable with lots of space in a great area. Close to nature and walks. Even in the pouring rain of our weekend the house was warm and inviting with lots of windows and wonderful spaces, bedrooms, hot tub, appliances, etc. I highly recommend it!
