We loved the cottage. It was very comfortable and had very nice lay out. Lots of sunlight and very spacious.
The only small thing was there was just the tail end of a roll of toilet paper and no more to be found anywhere. We had to go get our own.

Some of the dishes in the kitchen weren't very clean as if they had been put away dirty by other users. A light bulb in the track lighting needed to be replaced and there wasn't much toilet paper. I admit we didn't run out but we kept worrying we would! Also the garage for the car is very small and you were asked not to park on the street for more than an hour or so at a time so I was glad I didn't rent a larger car. Otherwise a charming cottage in a peaceful location. We really enjoyed spending time in the small but beautiful garden off the deck.

Heron View Cottage was a wonderful place for our quiet vacation. The cottage is beautiful and comfortable. The village of Sidney, where it is located, is a clean, happy place for shopping or walking by the sea. We visited in early October, and morning walks around the cove behind the owner's home were filled with a foggy quiet broken only by bird calls and distant fog horns. The cottage is located about 30 minutes from downtown Victoria, and the route there is simple. I would highly recommend the cottage.

Very nice stay the owner and later the friend of the owner staying in the main house were very friendly and helpful.
The only problem that we had was the drawer face on the right hand of the stove kept coming off, finally we left it off.
It would be handy to have a few luggage racks - where you could set suitcases off the floor for access.
My family had a wonderful stay. If would have been nice to have had someone meet us when we left to hand the house back. We had to leave a key with Alex who was staying in the owners home. Had he not been there we would not have had anyone to leave a key with.
Below - I would like to be described as a Canadian guest coming from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Thank you for your review. We were not aware of the problem with the drawer, a quick phone call to our office during your stay could have made a difference as we could have had a maintenance person come and repair it for you. I am happy to hear your family had a wonderful stay. We hope that you will join us again in the future, it was a pleasure having you stay with us!

A beautiful, clean, fully equipped property with everything you could need, including a little garden. Details did specify DVDs and CDs which we were unable to locate - however this did not alter our views that it was excellent. Lovely quite location within walking distance to beaches. Walking distance to town and amenities not as close as expected but not an issue as we had transport. It is close to both the ferry terminal and the airport. Only negative was the management personnel, the greeter appeared disinterested and in a hurry to get away. She handed over one key the other was apparently missing - we later learned that this had been taken home by a previous occupant although the owner of the property was not aware of this and pointed to a book on the table. When we emailed them re check out they asked what time would we like, we replied and they didn't confirm whether that was OK or not. On the morning of check out they telephoned to request we check out ourselves as they were short of staff etc! However, management aside, we would definitely recommend this luxury property as a base for exploring Vancouver Island.
Thank you for your review of Heron View Cottage. Normally the DVD's are located in the loft area of the property, close to the TV and DVD player. Thank you for letting us know you were not able to locate them. We will look into this. Apologies for your greeter seeming disinterested, we have spoken to her about the importance of her position. We look forward to having you stay with us again in the future, and will provide a more positive check in and check out experience for you.

Heron View was a wonderful place to stay. Close enough to Victoria to make easy trips into the city, but also close to must see places like Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly garden. the Butterfly Garden is wonderful for kids, and adults love it too. Best of all, the charming, small town of Sidney is only a short walk away, and we loved strolling the main street which is filled with wonderful shops, TWELVE bookstores, and numerous cafes, restaurants and coffee shops. The marina is right next to the town and is a good place to see some amazing yachts! Or you can go whale watching! The cottage itself is private, spotless, and just a beautiful refuge to return to after a busy, bustling day in the city of Victoria.
Thank you for your review of Heron View Cottage - this cottage is a great place to rest and enjoy the Sidney area. It sounds like you had a wonderful time in Sidney and we look forward to having you stay with us again in the future!

We enjoyed our stay in Sidney , the rental was very accommodating and the owner seemed nice. Sidney itself is a cute little town we ate out at a few lovely restaurants. The location was great just a 20-25 mins drive to downtown victoria lots to do and see. We would recommend this cottage to any of our friends or family that would like to visit victoria. The only thing that we regret is that we didn't stay long enough a week would of been great. Thanks again the Wardley family

We were here a month in the fall. Lovely garden close to the beach/bird sanctuary, bus line. A 1 km walk to restaurants, grocery, etc. It was perfect. The only possible negative is the parking. We had a small car,so we could use the small garage next to the cottage. If you have a large car, you will have to park on the street about a block away. Any visitors will also have to park a block away.
Thank you for your review. Yes, the parking space is best suited for a small vehicle. The cottage is at the end of a cul de sac and no parking is permitted. For larger cars and visitors a short walk to the end of the short street works best.
We are happy that you would recommend us to others and look forward to having you stay with us again in the future.

I stayed at the Heron View cottage for 4 nights with my elderly parents. The cottage is located on a quiet lane close to the water in the pleasant seaside community of Sidney. We enjoyed the convenience of a full kitchen and a nice view of Roberts Bay from the second level. Having two bathrooms and bedrooms on two levels gave everyone privacy and convenience. The beds and pillows were comfortable and everything was well supplied. Check in/out was simple and quick. The location was great for us as we had easy access to the airport, the ferry terminal, Butchart Gardens and only a half hour drive to the Victoria inner harbour. We could easily walk to restaurants and shops in the centre of Sidney and we enjoyed the walkway around the marina. Overall this is a great place to stay for a short or longer term stay.

Everything went well with our 1 month stay. We enjoyed the open layout of the cottage with the view of the bay. It was in a great location. Everything worked well. Loved the view, patio and gardens. We did speak directly to the owner about the need of blinds for the cottage to provide some privacy especially at night. All went well until we checked out. We received an email accusing us of putting tinfoil in the oven and which apparently caused some damage. We did not put tinfoil in the oven. The EMR rep did not ask us if we did this, but assumed that we did. We are not happy about how EMR communicated with us on this matter. We would have appreciated a phone call asking us whether we had used tinfoil, instead of accusing us. We are currently waiting for an appology.
Thank you for your terrific review. We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay. However, with regard to the tin foil being lined in the oven, we did bring this to your attention because it was not been there before your check-in. The modern self cleaning ovens do not require tin foil at the bottom. We hope to see you again in the future.

The property and its owner who lived next door was lovely. The management company sent too many redundant email notifications. Check-in is too late at 4 PM.

Thank you for your review of Heron View Cottage. We do sent emails asking for check in times and confirmation of your arrival as we have greeters meet you at the property to check you in and provide information about the property and the location area your rental is in.

This house is very cute and close to town while not being in town. Very bright with a slim water view. Recommend walking the neighborhood at night to visit the shoreline via all the road-ends. Only issues were with the kitchen - non-stick pans were worn out and garbage can so tiny it barely functioned. Garden is beautiful. You have to park on the street if you have anything larger than a compact car since the unit's parking is in the garage. You share the property with the Owner who lives in the house between the cottage and the waterfront - you will see each other frequently.

Every thing was very good except the way the cleaning person was organized We had to wait 15 minutes for the check in person to arrive. There was an obligatory cleaning time half way through our stay and this was poorly organized the agreed times to clean the cottage were changed 4 times by the cleaning person and in the end we complained to the EMR staff in Vancouver who gave us a return on the cost for the halfway cleaning which we undertook ourselves.
Thank you for your terrific review. We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay.
We wish to address the cleaning organization issues you have raised for the record. The mid-stay clean was changed by our cleaning once due to a scheduling conflict. The cleaner arranged for an alternate day with you to come and clean the unit. Because cleaners have very busy schedules with back to back check-out-check-in cleans during the summer months, the cleaners can only provide you an approximate period they can come by the house to clean. In this case, it was an afternoon slot. When the cleaner was on the way with the cleaning crew to come to the property to complete the mid-stay clean, you called and turned the cleaners away. When a third time was set up, the cleaner gave you another afternoon period to do the mid-stay clean, and when the cleaner arrived at the door you turned the cleaner away again. It is not accurate to state it was 4 times and that it was the cleaner's fault. The cleaner only had to reschedule the first one and the others were cancelled by you. Regardless, we provided you a refund for the mid-stay clean because the first one had to be rescheduled.
Besides the cleaning issue, we know you stay was terrific, and we hope to see you again in the future.
