About this property

A 2 bedroom suite by the Ocean is secluded at the forest edge with native trees and plants, full of wildlife (butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, shore birds, bald eagles, ravens and the occasional killer whale). Yet only 30 minutes from Victoria.

The property is located by the Pacific Ocean, with a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains, across Juan de Fuca Strait. At the water level, one can view Race Rocks Lighthouse. Bring your kayak or paddleboard...

The house and suite are surrounded by majestic tree stand reminding old-growth forest and giving you lots of shade, yet southern exposure offers plenty of sunshine.
My wife operated a small yoga studio in another part of the building with a few classes only per week. If you are interested to join her, please inquire regarding availability. . .

Beautiful property with gracious hosts!

This property is in a beautiful location on the water. We saw a lot of wildlife while relaxing in the garden. The place is very clean and well furnished. The property owners were very accommodating and were so kind to provide breakfast needs including fresh baked muffins. I would recommend this property to anyone.

Great place, great hosts

We had a brilliant stay! Louis and his wife are excellent hosts, always friendly and helpful and the suite is spacious and clean. They provided us with a meal for the first evening, croissants for the morning and some real espresso! There is also a gas barbecue and a fire pit, over which we roasted marshallows to make smores - So we had a truly Canadian experience. The location is great: secluded, with its own little pebble beach, but still close to a beach and some coastal walking tracks. We saw harbour seals, sea eagles and ospreys. Wonderful!

Beautiful view from porch

It was a nice quiet place on the ocean near Victoria. The hosts were very kind and accommodating. It is located about thirty minutes from the Empress Hotel and 45 minutes from Butchart Gardens.

Beautiful quiet place! Private beach, flowers, butterflies, hummingbirds, otter. Fully equipped kitchen. Laundry. Separate entrance. Bus stop infront of the driveway (we had no car and no problem to explore Victoria etc). Grocery store nearby. Beautiful waterfall trail and beach for long walks close by. Caring and thoughtful host. Thank you for all the little details! Flowers and Muffins. It was a perfect holiday!

Why they chose this property

You feel in a different world, typical of the West Coast of Canada.
We have owned this place for 20 years, and we have made an effort to respect natural settings and yet create a little paradise for nature lovers and for gardeners.

What makes this property unique

Simply a unique location. And so close to Victoria. In fact, off our driveway, one can take the bus to downtown Victoria
Think of it: House is nested near a tree stand reminding you of an old-growth forest, Ocean front and a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains.
Full complement of local native plants and trees, with butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds, shore birds, bald eagles, ravens, and river otters swimming close to shore, and with some luck, the occasional Orca (killer whale) or Humpback whale passing by.
