We loved our stay here. The place was spotless, the bed very comfortable, and it had everything we needed for preparing food in the kitchen. The neighborhood was quiet and it was a great location in relation to our activities in Victoria. Highly recommended!

It always warms my heart to read these reviews and really appreciate the feedback. It helps other guests when they're viewing their options of where to stay. I do strive for cleanliness, comfort, and quality of linens and towels - as these are the things that are important for me when I travel with my family. Also nice to hear that you had everything required for preparing meals. I trust the Dragon Boat Races were the highlight of your memories made here in out beautiful city. :-) We look forward to your next visit....Warmest Regards.

Great stay for me and my wife! Perfect little spot, the location was very private and quiet. Clean and comfortable, and very well stocked with all the essentials. A rental vehicle made it very easy to get around. 10 minute drive to UVic, 15 minutes to downtown/harbour. Enjoyed our stay, would recommend.

Fantastic little cottage in Victoria. Colleen's place was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. It was just enough room for the two of us without feeling crowded. She had all the amenities we needed, even a bbq we could use outside. The front door opens out onto a patio in her backyard so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather. The street is very quiet and we felt safe parking our car there. Her place is close to grocery stores and shopping. The distance to downtown is more than a walk, but we had a car so drove in to the city each day. There are buses nearby so that may be an option if you don't have a vehicle. Colleen was quick to answer any questions I had before our stay and during. I would definitely stay here again, if ever in Victoria.
