Thank you for choosing to stay in my garden suite.I appreciate the care you took in there too. I appreciate you pointing out the added bonus of some breakfast food item that last a few days. Travel is stressful enough without the added wonder of "where to fine breakfast and coffee" the next day. Thanks for appreciated the extra touch to make you feel as welcome as possible.
This suite was perfect! It was cozy, modern, quiet and it had everything we needed. Cathie was excellent with her communication and we felt at ease if we would’ve had to ask her anything. We will definitely stay here again!

5 STAR REVIEW!!!! Thank you so much! I also appreciate you pointing out my communication to you. I think it’s critical for comfort levels. I want my guest to fully understand everything about their stay before they arrive. Thank you also for taking such fine care in my space! You are welcome back anytime.
Of all the short term rentals we have stayed in, this was by far the best appointed; we needed nothing to add for our 4 night stay. Excellent location and lovely property. Host Cathie was warm and helpful, easy to contact. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Victoria.

Thank you for that amazing five star review! I understand that you would travel a lot and being considered as one of the best places you’ve ever stayed makes me very proud! I’m glad you found the suite well appointed and you needed nothing! Communication is key for my guests, so I’m glad you were happy with that too! Please come back and stay another time
The suite was very cozy and private . I loved enjoying the view of the garden while having my morning coffee. The unit was well stocked and the layout was very thoughtful and comfortable. Our host communicated well and made sure everything was satisfactory during our stay. We would love to come back in the future.
This was a lovely property, inside and out. Even in the off season the garden was beautiful. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the shower water was hot and plentiful. The host provided a number of amenities that made our stay very comfortable. We also appreciated the attention paid to recyling and composting.
Thank you for the 5 STAR Review! You are a 5 STAR guest too and welcome back anytime. Thank you for your lovely note and leftover cookies-yummy! LOL
I loved your compliments and enthusiasm on the garden too. I do believe that if you are looking for an "oasis" get away, you will find it here. Thanks again.
We’ve been here several times, so it felt like coming to our “Victoria home away from home.” The room is spacious, the full kitchen is well equipped and the garden outside our door is vibrant and and full of different plants and trees.

Thank you for such a great review and for mentioning that our location is good for people attending things at UVIC! I love it when my guests mention how clean my suite is too. I try to "wow" my guests with that. Also, I do like to communicate with my guests. Travel is stressful enough and when your host (me) makes you feel at ease with check in details etc, it makes travel so much better. Thanks and please come back again!! Maybe for fun next time! Cathie
A very welcoming & beautifully appointed suite in a very quiet neighbour hood. The suite looks out onto a patio and beautifully landscaped and secluded backyard.

The property is centrally located and close to everything. It was very clean and is well equipped with all that you need. It even has a washer and dryer if you need to do some laundry. It has a very nice garden/patio sitting area where you can enjoy your morning coffee. The host provided us with some lovely breakfast items which included eggs, bread, yogurt and juice. I would recommend this suite to anyone visiting the Victoria area.

Thank you for this amazing "5 STAR" review. I appreciate you mentioning the cleanliness and how well equipped it is. I want my guests to have a super experience and not worry about anything. I have provided a little "breakfast starter kit"for many years as it allows my guests to immediately relax on arrival. You don't have go out right away to shop. You can unpack, settle in, and know that you can rise to coffee or tea and some hearty breakfast to start your stay. Come back anytime!
Love this place and have been here many times and will continue to stay here. The host Cathy is wonderful to work with. The place is immaculately kept, July 2025. Thanks Cathy, it was great to see you.
