Set sail for Victorias wondrous Saanich Inlet and the new oceanfront home Otter Rock.
While you actually never leave dry land, the zero foot setback from the water means you are literally at the waters edge.
Look out many of the windows straight down to the water. Its erection in this unique setting was only possible because the original and charming 1960s vintage cabin was preserved and incorporated into the new construction.
Otter Rock is a two bedroom, two bath home with picture windows in a treehouse-like setting.
Completed in May, 2019, the Kitchen-Aid appliances and quality furnishings are new. Built with a contemporary bent, no amenity has been overlooked. You will find heated, tiled bathroom floors, Bluetooth enabled entertainment system with speakers throughout, propane fireplace, wet bar, built-in bench and window seating, numerous waterfront decks, gas barbecue and a pass-through from the kitchen to the sundeck.
Step down to the beach-level deck and go tide pooling, cast a fishing line in the water or simply relax and enjoy the passing parade of yachts, pleasure craft and ferries.
Guests frequently comment that a stay at Otter Rock is a National Geographic experience. Routine wildlife visitors include river otters, harbor seals, sea lions, bald eagles and raccoons. Frequently you will spot minks, red squirrels, Pileated Woodpeckers, many varieties of sea ducks, seals, and occasionally Orca and humpback whales.
You are a ten minute walk to the entrance to Gowlland Tod Provincial Park where you may hike, mountain bike or simply stroll to the stunning MacKenzie Bight with your picnic lunch.
Its a 10 minute drive to Durrance Lake for swimming and fishing. Within 20 minutes you may find yourself in downtown Victoria, world famous Butchart Gardens or Brentwood Bay where you can rent kayaks or catch the ferry for an up-island tour.
Kindly note, Otter Rock is built into a steep hillside. It boasts four floors and is not handicapped accessible and not recommended for young children.

Otter Rock was a spectacular place to rest, retreat, and relax. We stayed there most of the time other than going on a kayak tour in Brentwood Bay... enjoyed the deck, the grill, and the quiet setting and especially---the provincial park down the street.
The photos are extremely accurate, everything was very clean, new, and nice. The greeter was incredibly helpful--she even offered to give us an emergency airport ride when our rental car broke down as we left!
Kitchen was very complete with everything we needed for cookware.
We saw otters, seals, a bald eagle, and lots of interesting birds and starfish.
One improvement would be that the living room could be a bit more comfy for watching a movie/TV. The built-in bench-sofa is not cozy for curling up.
Thank you for the lovely review and feedback Donald! We are so happy you loved Otter Rock as much as we do! Happy trails!

The Otter Rock House is a dream come true. Recently renovated with the best views from every room. My teeange kids 2, my husband and I had the best of times. Far enough to have a quite time, but not that far to be in very cool trails, good restaurants and outdoor activities. 10 mins away from a great Red Barn Market which makes it ideal to go for long periods of time and feel like home.
Thank you so much for the lovely review Maria! Please think of us in the future!

The home is amazing. You will get a leg workout from all the stairs, but its worth it. The living space is spread over 4 floors so there is lots of private space and every floor has an incredible view. The property is very clean and well maintained. The central speaker system is a nice touch for listening to your favorite music as you watch eagles, sea otters and seals from the picture windows. Very quiet and remote location, so plan ahead! The team at EMR were a pleasure to work with too!
Ron,
