About this property
Lovely Guest Studio at the Historic Spring Cottage
Historic elegance in the heart of Victoria created by your hosts Towagh and Rebecca. The self contained guest suite accommodates two people and is located in the historic Spring Cottage House, built in 1891 for a sea captain and his wife. The suite looks out onto a lovely garden with a variety of interesting sculptures and is accessed via a private entrance. It has a queen size bed, luxurious soaker tub with a rain head shower and stunning Persian rugs. It is full of elegant ambience and simple charms.
The Spring Cottage Guest Suite is located just minutes from the inner harbour, fisherman’s wharf and downtown Victoria. Relax here in our 1891 Captain’s house and explore what Victoria has to offer.
We provide wifi as well as complimentary coffee (locally roasted from Victoria favourite, Bows & Arrows) and a selection of organic teas that you can make anytime.

The hosts were quick on their feet and when we had a miscommunication in the booking they quickly adapted to solve the issue. We stayed in a lovely clean, quiet and comfortable little place which was located super conveniently in amongst the port area of Victoria. Thank you very much!

I was disappointed with the suites. When I got there. There was construction going on outside which I had to listen to and once I got inside the suite. I found quite a bit of dust and spider webs throughout the suite. I notified the owner that I was not happy and I was checking out the next day after I could find other arrangements.
