A Lovely Anniversary Getaway!

We spent a lovely 4 days in Victoria, and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Waterloo Gardens. It's a very chic little place - the photos are spot-on for its cute factor. Cathy gave us great tips on dinner options (every single meal was excellent), helped us book tickets for a play, and more. We would recommend the bike rental downtown, as the cycling is wonderful, and beach walking fantastic. The bus stop to downtown is less than a 1/4 mile away, which was handy, since we didn't rent a car. The airport shuttle delivered us right to the doorstep, and picked up there as well (make sure you give them the address, and a cross street). We thoroughly enjoyed the sights of Victoria, then savored our quiet and private accommodations at Waterloo Gardens. Cathy thoughtfully left us a snack to enjoy after our late arrival, and even a bottle of wine with which to celebrate our 25th! This is a gem! Thanks for helping make our getaway extra special, Cathy.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car.

Cathie and Ron (and sister Marilyn) must be Victoria's best hosts! Fresh flowers. Homemade jam and scones in the fridge. Two kinds of coffee beans. Every conceivable comfort is provided...and then some! The beautiful location is a small, private paradise. Waterloo Garden is something special - the kind of vacation rental I've always dreamed of finding. Above all, we appreciate the exceptional efforts of Cathie, Ron and Marilyn to accommodate us in the face of a booking mix-up. They took lemons and made...champagne. We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Waterloo Garden. It provided us with an excellent base for discovering Victoria and its surrounding area - and left us wanting more! Looking forward to our next visit...it can't come soon enough!
Owner response:We thrive on making each guests experience one to remember and it sure feels good to get such wonderful feedback-thanks! You are welcome back anytime and thank you for your understanding re: booking mix up. We are so pleased it worked out and are happy that Marilyn was here in our absence.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+.

My wife and I stayed here for three days in August. We could easily have stayed much longer. The suite is located above a lovely garden that has been very skillfully built and carefully maintained. The suite is very quiet. Everything you need is here. And it has a washer and dryer! It's not in downtown Victoria, but one quickly finds out the best routes to get downtown in minutes. ---By the way, "Not in downtown Victoria" is a compliment. One can plunge into the tourist maelstrom, or choose to retreat and cook one's own dinner. Ron and Cathy are wonderfully thoughtful and energetic. When we first arrived, they showed us the grounds and explained the story of their building. (Ask Ron about the lovely screen shielding the potting shed from view. Light yet astonishingly sturdy.) They were very accomodating, but never intrusive. We like to cook, so we were happy to see the utensils, etc. were more than adequate. We didn't eat in the neighborhood, which is mostly suburban. But driving to some of the better places in Victoria was very easy. In fact, all the better (non tourist-overwhelmed) restaurants seemed to be on streets either coming or going to the property. All in all, a real find at a very fair price. I'd especially recommend it for longer stays.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+.
