Conveniently located to downtown Sidney Beautiful gardens out back. Lots of room and comfortable for two couples. Kitchen fully stocked making it easy to prepare good meals. Great location to cycling routes and ferry to salt spring island — south end of island. Quiet and peaceful surroundings. Very clean upon arrival and check in was easy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Beautiful area to walk! Close to the little town of Sidney. Some ocean views from the property. Excellent place to stay for 1-2 couples, so cute and well stocked of utensils etc.
The house felt like home. The host, Rick, called ahead of time to make arrangements to meet us to make sure we had all the details we needed. The rental owner, Jim, came and introduced himself which was such a personal touch. The home had a great variety of games and books for all ages. The view was awesome and Sidney is a place that continues to draw us back.
The cottage was clean and comfortable. It offers everything you would need. Excellent, quiet location. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again.
This is a beautiful cottage with lots of charm. Great location. Sidney is quaint town with lots of things to do.
Very walkable town. The check in was easy, the owner was lovely to visit with. Beautiful garden and outdoor seating areas. Very clean and comfortable.
We love staying at Heron View Cottage. I travel with my elderly mother and everything is easily accessible for her. It is clean and the location makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. It is convenient for the Butchart Gardens and downtown Victoria is also easy to get to. Jim is a lovely host.
A lovely well appointed property. Parking spot is a bit tight.
We would stay again

We would highly recommend this property. Beautiful setting, extremely clean and comfortable, with the perfect host!! The coffee pot broke and was replaced within hours. Will definitely choose to stay here again when we come back to Sidney!
The home and surrounding areas were just perfect, quiet and very convenient. We are a senior couple, travelling with my sister. It was lovely having two separate bedrooms with their own bathroom, and lots of seating options.

We came for a four night stay, and loved the home! It’s inviting, comfortable, has all the amenities we needed, plus lots of puzzles, books, games and cable TV for the rainy days. Extremely clean, beautifully updated and the view of the ocean is nice.
