Romi and Terry have created an incredibly cozy, comfortable and serene space. They’ve gone above and beyond in providing everything necessary to cook, entertain, play games, hike around the area, and relax in their woodsy backyard. They both welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour to ensure we’d be comfortable. Hopefully this will be available when we’re next in Sidney.
Our stay at FireThorn Manor was wonderful. Romí and Terry were exceptional hosts—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The suite was spacious, comfortable, and full of thoughtful personal touches. The beautiful views along Lands End Road made mornings and evenings especially peaceful and memorable. A truly relaxing stay, and we would happily return.

Thank you Susan for the wonderful review. Terry and I hope to see you again. If a house comes up for sale here I’ll let you know.😊 We will meet up again at the Stonehouse pub.
We thoroughly loved our pace and the room it offered. Great rooms, fully stocked and very quiet. So many little things were included in this space that they had thought of. Would stay here again for sure.
A wonderful place to stay. The hosts are very friendly and have provided every amenity.
Will definitely recommend and hopefully stay again.

Thank you Jeanne for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure to host you for you stay at FireThorn Manor. You are most welcome back anytime.
Cheers. Romi
Firethorn completely met our expectations. It was very spacious and comfortable. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We found access to both the ferry terminal and the airport to be very convenient. Unfortunately, our stay was very brief which meant that we didn't have the opportunity to see or do things in the neighbourhood beyond enjoying a lovely visit with good friends in Sidney.
Perfect spot for our family to stay for the weekend while in Saanich. Hosts were so helpful, answered questions super quickly. Suite was super clean and VERY well stocked with anything you might need!

Thank you Anya for the great review. We enjoyed hosting you at FireThorn Manor.
You are a great guest and are welcome back anytime.
Cheers. Romi
Great place to stay with lots of room and amenities. It was very clean, and the three separate beds worked perfect for our multigenerational family. The location is also fantastic.
This is an incredible place in a wonderful location. It is cozy, clean, and has every amenity you could hope to enjoy. I would highly recommend this one!
This was such an amazing property…we stayed twice! On our first night in BC and our last. Easy to get to, close to the airport, quiet and peaceful neighborhood. And I can’t say enough wonderful things about Romi’s hospitality. She checked in on us and made sure we knew where we were going, gave advice and tips on sights! Bonus points for Gilbert.
Clean, comfortable, quiet, great location, wonderful hosts!Nice king bed, great shower/tub, oversized vanity, well-stocked kitchen, lots of space, easy parking for our car, super-easy check-in and check-out, many special extra touches (water bottles, beach towels, flashlights, games, books, slippers, detailed binder of information, and more!).The hosts were top-notch -- friendly but not intrusive, easy communication, and full of information about things to do and places to eat in this beautiful part of British Columbia. Highly recommend.
We had a good stay at the Firethorn Manor suite. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated that the suite was dog-friendly. In addition, there were lovely touches like bottled water, snacks, and slippers.
