The garden suite was perfect for my wife and I! During our stay, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted from this location which was extremely convenient. The suite had all the amenities we needed and it was nice and private. The front entrance of the unit is located inside of a shared backyard area but the suit itself has a nice private outdoor area attached at the back.

Fabulous place to stay, everything you need, on a quiet residential street just a couple of blocks off the harbour and easy walking to multitude of places.
Very straightforward check in with info provided several days in advance. Very comfortable bed and sofa and well provisioned kitchen and shower room. Own private garden space. Exactly what we wanted as a base for a couple of days to come and go from after touring round for 2 weeks. Don’t miss this gem of a place.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the garden cottage. The cottage had everything we needed: king-sized bed, full kitchen, comfortable sitting area, and bathroom. The cottage was beautifully decorated and the appliances were like new. The cottage is within easy walking distance from downtown Victoria. We really appreciated the chocolate brownies upon arrival!

Stayed four days in probably the best possible location for visiting downtown Victoria. Two block walk to a clipper ferry was a nice bonus

Dianne was an accomodating, interesting host/hostess. The suite was somewhat cramped but very clean. Our dog enjoyed her stay. Shower terrific. Bed comfy. Patio private. However, lots was going on outside the suite - renovations, folks coming and going, and, I think, garden/horticulture folks doing some planting. Handy location. Better than most hotel rooms. Peace Dianne.

This was an amazing location and exceptional accommodation. Diane thought of everything and we needed absolutely nothing. Will definitely be coming back.

In the heart of James Bay, there is no lack of things to do or see. But Diane has set up the guest cottage as a true retreat. The private patio is something you will not find at other properties in the area. The property and neighbourhood has more flowers than most city parks.

Location was great as it's walkable to so many places. We loved the well furnished private patio and the well supplied kitchen with very thoughtful touches like cold filter water in the fridge, popcorn and chocolate fudge. Loved the fact organic and or sustainable soap, laundry soap and dish soap used and recycling in place! Would definitely want to stay here again!!

We stay here every visit to Victoria and would not stay anywhere else. The cottage is very clean and just the right size for the two of us. It is also in a location in James Bay that makes everything convenient.

This one-bedroom unit (unattached behind main house) provided for a wonderful short trip to Victoria. The unit is well-stocked with kitchen serving dishes, silverware, cookware, etc. the king-sized bed is very comfortable and there is a private deck area in the back that would be wonderful for warmer weather visits. I highly recommend.

This is a great spot in a wonderful location. Walking distance to so many things! They also have a lovely patio for the cottage which was very private. We had our dog with us and down the street is a dog park which he loved. If you are looking for privacy in a homey place. You gotta book here.

We really enjoyed our stay at this topnotch conversion in Victoria. Close to everything, yet quiet. On the owner's property, yet private. We appreciated all the small touches that made it feel like home - fully stocked kitchen and bath, end tables and lights, luggage rack, flowers!. And, of course, friendly puppies! And a wonderful, friendly, hostess! Thanks!

This was our second time staying and once again we loved it. Cozy, tidy, well stocked and the location is wonderful. The private patio is such a special touch. The neighborhood is quiet yet close to everything.

Couldn’t be in a better location. The property was very comfortable with everything we needed for a comfortable stay including our own beautiful private courtyard and access to the main courtyard anytime. The host Dianne was very accommodating with our dog and very friendly. We loved that she had extra items in the kitchen (coffee, creamers, oil, spices, condiments) and many other extras that made cooking and staying there so much easier. Additional bonus was a washer/dryer and she even provided laundry detergent. We would definitely recommend this spot and look forward to coming back one day.

Amazing stay again!
I love Diane’s place! I have stayed here before and it never disappoints! Great outdoor space on the front and back. Every appliance you can imagine in the full stocked Kitchen. Coffee, tea, cream, condiments, olive oil, oatmeal, a few spices and rice. Oh! And my daughter visits and loves the brownies:))

Lovely, secluded bib
Lovely quiet sheltered bib. I stayed in the Garden suite with a private patio at the back which was wonderful for the dog.
I was having hardwood installed in my house so my dads were uncertain. The manager and staff could not have been more cooperative and kind during the entire process.
I want to thank them for a wonderful stay at their bib and will certainly recommend to everyone!

We enjoyed walking from this extremely well located cozy guest cottage in the James Bay Area. An off-leash park is close by; the Dallas Road ocean side walk is just minutes away; the James Bay shopping area makes grocery shopping easy; the fresh fish market is in the neighbourhood. Inside, the bed is great and the kitchen well equipped with new pots and pans and a 'snazzy' kettle. Dianne is a conscientious host who attended to our needs promptly. Thank you, Dianne. We wish for you a great summer!

The location in James Bay was perfect. Within walking distance of Dallas road and downtown.
The garden suite is perfect for 2 people. There was 3 of us and it was crowded.
The suite has 2 lovely outdoor spaces, that would be nice in the summer.
The internet was iffy at times and the tv options we not great. My husband is a news hound and a hockey fan. We couldn’t get either.
The cleanliness ofthe suite really was just ok. There seemed to be a mold issue around windows, doors and in the washing machine. As far as Covid cleaning goes…. I don’t think that happened. We found a chocolate covered almond stuck to a blanket so that was obviously not washed. Moldy salsa left in the fridge. Some of the dishes had to be rewashed.
The beds were super comfy. Even the pull out couch.
Everything you ever needed is provided, but too much of it was on the counter. Not enough space to cook a meal.
We unfortunately had the pipes freeze due to an unusual cold snap.
Over all, this would be the perfect place. Just needs a few changes in cleaning.
