Heart’s Delight Suite at the Mermaid Wharf
Come for the View – Stay for the Comfort and Convenience
From the moment you walk into Heart’s Delight Suite, you will understand why it merits its name. A luxuriously appointed suite sitting atop Victoria’s Upper Harbour Marina: the view is spectacular. We provide a spacious, open concept-loft style waterfront apartment with high ceilings and large western facing windows that provide a glorious sensation of openness. Heart’s Delight Suite is the perfect accommodation for a business trip, a romantic retreat or a family vacation with space enough for four.
Our quiet sanctuary offers you an ideal retreat after your day’s activities, whether you are in Victoria for business or pleasure. Here you can choose to prepare a gourmet meal in a fully equipped kitchen, curl up in front of the fire with a good book or watch a movie from our extensive DVD library…light the candles and relax in the deep soaker tub, or just sit with a glass of wine and watch the ever changing spectacle from the comfort of the living room or the balcony. Heart’s Delight Suite has everything you need to do all of these and more.
Centrally located in downtown Victoria, you find Heart’s Delight Suite is within a few minutes’ walking distance from Chinatown, live theatre, cinema, shopping, supermarket, business and government buildings. Dozens of fabulous restaurants and cafes are located in the immediate neighborhood – the only problem you face is choosing which one to pick to please you palate.
For the Vacationer: As you walk out the front door, you can turn right to find yourself at the foot of Chinatown that leads to downtown Victoria or turn left to the marina where you can rent bicycles and kayaks or take a boat tour. The harbour ferry stops right at the door to take you further down the Gorge Waterway or toward the Inner Harbour. Heart’s Delight Suite is steps away from the DayLiner Train that can take you on a journey up Island, the Galloping Goose hiking and biking trail that gives the choice to range from Victoria west toward Sooke or north to Swartz Bay, as well as museums, historic sites, whale watching tours, float planes, day spas, yoga centres and all the sites that make Victoria the attraction it is.
For the Business Traveler: Heart’s Delight Suite offers you a workstation where you can set up your laptop, complete with broadband wireless internet access and a laser printer for your convenience. Business, municipal and provincial government offices are so close that you may never need to drive or hail a cab. Efficient public transit will take you with ease to the University of Victoria.
Mermaid Wharf is a beautiful modern concrete and steel building that allows Heart’s Delight to be free of the noise from other units, with secure underground parking, elevators and is fully wheelchair accessible.

Owner's Map of Victoria
In their travels, Heather and Pierre found that staying in a space that “feels like home” is essential to making a trip successful, and that having good access to the conveniences your seek while away from home allows people to relax easily. That knowledge served as our key motivation when looking for an apartment in Victoria, one where we could take advantage of easy access to the benefits of the city center while being in a quiet and serene location. It was important for us choose a location that would provide our guests with an environment in which they can feel settled the moment they pass the threshold.
