This place had everything you need supplied. It’s a little isolated but in saying that it had a beautiful outside deck with large trees surrounding the property. It was also very close to groceries, gas and liquor store. I would definitely rent this again and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay close to Victoria Buchart gardens etc. we’ll done

We had a wonderful time. The apartment was clean, very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Butchart Gardens was less than 10 minutes away and downtown Victoria was 30 minutes at the most.Do read Mike's driving instructions as The Hideaway is nearly impossible to find if you don't. If one has difficulty with stairs, this might not be a good choice. The property itself is secluded and if you have a dog that needs a place to be exercised, there is plenty of opportunities for that.We would come back without hesitation.

My dog and I loved our extended stay at Michael's lovely carriage house. We needed to stay due to a water leak at my condo and his place truly was a home away from home. It had a well stocked coffee station, cozy living room, and kitchen with all the basics for cooking. Location isn't too far a drive from the city, close to some great spots in Saanich. Michael was very responsive and accommodating. Definitely would stay again!
