This place is so unique! The surroundings are beautiful and worth the short drive from Victoria. The cute little pond and lots of space inside were hits with our group. Jo Ann is so welcoming and friendly and the place had little touches that make you feel welcome. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time! We were welcomed upon arrival, instructions were very clear and the property was fantastic. There was more than enough space and more than enough things to do on site. Hot tub was hot and clean, and even the trails had a little surprises along the way for us to check out! We had a great deal of fun. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be booking for the summer months when we can enjoy the property even more highly recommend Hidden Pond! The only very minor suggestion I would make is to have a more updated library of books and games. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Great place to stay on Vancouver Island

This place is wonderful! Jo-Ann made us feel so welcomed. Her place is beautifully equipped,including welcoming fruits and sweet treats. After a long day of travel,we enjoyed a dip in Hidden Pond followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Our only regret was that we didn’t bring our children and grandchildren with us to enjoy this wonderful spot.

About the host

Hosted by Jo-Ann & Rob Kevala

Host profile image
Hi, we are Rob and Jo-Ann Kevala. We are both semi-retired now and enjoy life on this amazing 10 acre property. Never a shortage of gardening! We love dogs and have three of our own on the property. We welcome visitors with their own pets. Our goal in opening Hidden Pond was to share this amazing property with other amazing people and provide a luxury option for people who want to travel with their own pets.

Why they chose this property

Hidden Pond became a reality in 2020. As we began to develop our property and build trails through the forest we found an amazing spring-fed pond hidden in the woods. Alot of landscaping and a year of work we spent reclaiming this pond from the wild. Today it is the home of a private beach, pergola and where we spend our summer and winter months

What makes this property unique

Hidden Pond is a unique retreat. Often people come planning to visit Victoria and Metchosin, then find the pond and don't leave the property for their stay. Whether you choose to relax in the hot tub, sit on the beach, wander the forest trails on the property, play with your pet in the orchard or warm your toes at the firepit in the evenings you won't find a more relaxing getaway.

We operate as both a Bed and Breakfast and vacation rental so lots of options for your stay. This suite can also be rented to join with the other Hidden Pond Gong Suite.
