Chris and Kira are wonder hosts. I definitely recommend having the charcuterie board prepared for arrival, especially if you have a long travel. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook in. The honey from the hives is absolutely delicious.I personally loved meeting the chickens. Will definitely come back in the future.

The suite is in a great location and you can’t find nicer hosts! The hot tub is terrific and quite private, the accommodations are comfortable and very clean. It was a nice place to hang our hats during our visit and we’d love to stay again if we’re back to this area! Thanks again to our hosts.

This place was perfect for my family . Plenty of space, great entertainment options and very clean. Chris and Kira were wonderful hosts, and the chickens were so fun. The only wrinkle we had was the fridge was small, so if you plan to stay for more than a couple of days, you may want to bring a cooler for larger items. Will definitely book again.

The place was very clean and organized. It is situated in excellent location to get to freeway or major shops/restaurants etc. The host was excellent in returning responses. This place is a little dated but in a very arts minded way. The area is quiet and we'll protected.

Perfect place for the four adults & one Great Dane to stop over before a big day at Butchart Gardens. Clean, quiet, great neighborhood for walking our dog and location was not far from local eateries. Beautiful view from backyard area and the owner’s residence landscaping is wonderful with abundant flowering rhododendrons all about. Perfect weather was also a benefit! Thanks for all!
