About this property

Incredible 3 bedrm in Saanich in a private setting

This beautiful, thoughtfully decorated and spacious 3 bedroom home is just 15mifrom The Airbnb is 15 minutes from most places you want to visit in Victoria. Hikers and cyclists, the location is close to the famous Galloping Goose trail and ideal for accessing the many hiking and running trails in the area. There is fiber optic wifi and a work station for those how need to work, but is an ideal space for family get togethers. The well equipped kitchen and adjoining dinning room are perfect for entertaining, with French doors leading out to the upper patio. Close to Victoria General Hospital, Commonwealth pool and Camosun College. You can head out for a run, walk/hike or cycle from the front door

This home has a fabulous kitchen/dinning room combo. It is a chef's dream and very well stocked with everything from wine glasses to a 10 piece place setting. There is always a good stock of basic cooking supplies: oils, vinegar, variety of teas, coffee sugar, flour, jam and peanut butter, etc. There is an excellent set of sharp knives for food prep. Also: 2 French press’, an electric coffee pot, an electric hand mixer, blender, rice maker. If you don’t see something that would be nice to have, please let me know.

The front room is a restful, peaceful setting with a large comfy chair and comfortable leather couches for reading, chatting or just relaxing.

In both the kitchen and the living room there is a large display of photographs on the walls from Cenfuegos, Cuba and also Spain and France. There is a separate area in the front room for watching TV. It is a smart 40" TV with basic cable and the major sports stations. There is also Netflix and Youtube.

The space is located on the second (main) floor. There are 13 stairs to access this area, but once there you will find a warm and inviting space, with beautiful gardens that you can view from inside the house and also from the two patios that are available for your exclusive use. The first patio is off the dinning room through the French doors. The lower enclosed patio is accessed by the stairs off your upper patio. Either patio would be a wonderful way to start or end your day with a coffee/drink while watching the humming birds .

You are also welcome to enjoy the rest of the gardens and the vegetable gardens. If it is the season, please help yourself to some herbs and tomatoes if they are ripe. Sometimes there are also pepper plants of various varieties. It is best to test carefully as they may be hot. I have a fig tree that has never produced much, but I am hopeful. I hope that you enjoy the garden as much as I do.
Due to the coronavirus, we're taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces between reservations. We want to share our cleaning guidelines with our guests, so we have left a copy of the guidelines, along with our house manual and tourist guidebook, for you to read. We will also make sure there is extra cleaning supplies available to you.

Food and Drink. Within easy walking distance there is The Crooked Goose Pub (a great place where the locals to hang out), Cherries breakfast Bistro and Pizazz Pizza, with gluten free options. A gas station and convenience store. There is also a wine and beer store in this same small mall.

I reside on the ground level of the house, with my own private entrance. I like to travel and have embraced the Airbnb lifestyle so will not always be home. Along the way I have met a lot of super people. I would love to meet all of my guests, however, at times may be away.

There is a full-size laundry room with detergent, etc, on the ground floor.

Nice spot in the edge of Greater Victoria area
Welcoming, clean and comfortable accommodations in this nicely appointed home. Everything you need to enjoy your vacation is on site. Communication with the host was great and they were able to accommodate secure bike storage for us too. Plenty of space for our family of 5 adults.

Perfect house for a stay with friends or family
The property is located in a quiet residential subdivision that is halfway between the two areas we wanted to visit - the inner harbor area and Butchart Gardens. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and a cute deck and backyard area. It was nicely decorated and homey. The host responded quickly to questions. I would highly recommend staying there.

It was exactly what we needed.
This is a lovely, and very well-equipped property in a quiet neighbourhood. Most anything one would need can be found nearby and access to both major highways is close at hand. We also enjoyed the easy access to nearby walking trails. Thank you Joan, we will be back!

Beautiful Property, excellent taste
We had a very nice stay. Everything that we needed was there. It as me, my son, daughter-in-law and their 18 month old son. I'm afraid he may have been a bit noisy, but we tried to keep him under control. They live in a condo, so we were looking forward to letting him roam the allotted area in the back, but didn't realize there was no grass...but he loved the front yard. The decor was beautiful...even spare books in one of the bedrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Godfrey

Host profile image
I am a retired lady who enjoys travelling. I enjoy meeting other people, and welcoming them to my Airbnb. I enjoy gardening, cycling and hiking, good food and wine. Life is to be enjoyed and lived and I try to do both.

Why they chose this property

This property is central to everything. It is an easy location to get to. One of the things guest tell me is that it is wonderful to come back to my place after a busy time in Victoria, or hiking, cycling. It is quiet and peaceful, big enough for everyone to have their space and wonderful to sit on the patios, weather permitting, at the end of the day. the gardens are beautiful and there is even a resident squirrel - much to my displeasure. He or she enjoys one bite out of each tomato or apple.

What makes this property unique

A BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT VICTORIA AND WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER:


If you are a cyclist, this is the place to come. I am able to provide secure storage in my garage. Please request ahead of time. Victoria is considered one of the top cycling destinations in the world. Downtown Victoria has a large network of bicycle lanes, which makes it enjoyable for experienced riders or those less experienced. There is also the famous Galloping Goose trail, which is safe and easy to access from my home. It is suitable for all ages. This trail will take you all the way into Victoria, which leads you straight onto the bike lanes. Alternatively, you can cycle to Matheson Lake, or further, to Sooke Pot holes. You can also connect with the Lochside Regional Trail and travel to the Town of Sidney, stopping for ice cream at Mattick's Farm and then continuing through beautiful farmland and water views along the way.

Hikers! There are a number of amazing hiking areas from 10 minutes away to the furthest being 35 minutes away. The closer ones are Thetis Lake (easy) great for families, Mount Finlayson Trail (not for a beginner), Mount Work Regional Park (gorgeous views), Mountain Douglas via Whitaker Loop (great for families), Elk and Beaver lake (any easy hike - 10 km), The furthest is Aylard Farms in East Sooke. this is my favorite hike as you are climbing bluffs that overlook the ocean. There are many more areas to hike.

There are 5 grocery stores located within a 10 minute drive from the house. Also Up Town shopping mall and Mayfair shopping mall close by.
