The house is excellent, and easily accommodated us a couple with three teenagers and two dogs. We found all necessary house appliances with some nice extras like a hot tube. The hospitality of the owner is awesome. We arrived at night, but even so, he personally guided us to the house, and arranged foodstuff for the night meal and breakfast.
We highly recommend this property.

We had a great trip. The setting was superb and all of the activities were wonderful--hiking, kayaking, whale watching, eagle watching, Butchart Gardens, and the restaurants in Victoria. Of course, the weather couldn't have been better. Thanks for helping make our anniversary trip a huge success.
