We had a great stay overall and would definitely recommend this place, especially for the value. The host was very responsive, kind, and accommodating, even with our last-minute booking, which we really appreciated.The location was great, easy to get to, and parking was simple. We also loved the outdoor space — the patio and yard were a really nice touch. The heated bathroom floors were a standout feature as well.The main reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the cleanliness could have been a bit better. Nothing major, but we noticed some dog hair, the fridge could have been wiped down, and a few pillows didn’t seem fully clean (though there’s a chance they were just stained). We ended up washing the pillowcases ourselves to be safe — there was detergent available, which we appreciated.A small suggestion for improvement would be adding a simple welcome guide with instructions for things like the heating/AC systems and bathroom floor heat. We also ran into a couple of remotes with dead batteries, which made things a bit confusing at first. We figured it out, but clearer instructions or spare batteries would make the experience smoother.One other thing to note is that seating is a bit limited for the size of the space. It worked fine for our group of six, but it might be tricky if you’re planning a full sit-down meal together.Overall, we felt like it was a great deal for the price and had a really enjoyable stay — just a few small things that could make it even bett

About the host

Host profile image
I am from the East Coast, Montreal. I discovered Victoria while looking for career opportunities out West. I fell in love with the Ocean views, Mountains views and the winter escape. I have since loved it here for it's peaceful and beautiful scenery. I am sure you will love it to.

Why they chose this property

I chose Rockland because it offers a unique blend of historic character, quiet residential streets, and close proximity to downtown Victoria. The neighbourhood has a timeless feel, with well-preserved heritage homes, mature trees, and beautifully landscaped gardens that give it a calm, established atmosphere.

The scene in Rockland is peaceful and picturesque. Tree-lined streets, stately mansions, and smaller character homes create a sense of elegance without feeling formal or unwelcoming. It’s common to see people walking their dogs, cycling, or enjoying a relaxed stroll, and the area feels safe and community-oriented. Being close to places like Government House and its public gardens adds to the neighbourhood’s charm and provides easy access to green space.

What I enjoy most about Rockland is how tranquil it feels while still being so central. Downtown, the Inner Harbour, and local cafés are all within easy walking or biking distance, yet the neighbourhood remains quiet and removed from the busier parts of the city. It’s a place that feels both refined and livable, making it an ideal balance of nature, history, and convenience.

What makes this property unique

This bright, open-concept house features high ceilings, marble finishes, and a private patio overlooking a lovely garden. Enjoy luxury and tranquility, perfectly situated between Oak Bay Ave and Cook Street Village. Your personal sanctuary awaits in one of Victoria's most beautiful areas.
