Beautiful location. Spacious cottage. Host is very accommodating. Very close to the bay and a short walk to Sidney downtown.
4.8
The accommodation was gorgeous, especially the surrounding gardens, pathways, and patio. The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping. It was very peaceful.
The bedrooms were comfortable and adequately spacious; be aware the drapes are not heavy so the morning light enters the rooms early.
It was nice to have two full baths.
The kitchen is compact but functional. There were limited extras in terms of any food items ( no sugar for instance).
The check-in was restrictive for our personal travel plans as we were up island and wanting to take the Mill Bay ferry which cannot be pre-booked. As a result of having to meet the greeter at a set time, we had to cut short our touring around and despite getting to the ferry early we missed getting onboard. We were car number 20 and 21, and they only take 19. This meant driving the Malahat and getting into Sidney an hour before our check-in time.
The actual owner of the property was very friendly, and helpful and has a devoted green thumb and passion for his home and gardens.

We would highly recommend this property. Beautiful setting, extremely clean and comfortable, with the perfect host!! The coffee pot broke and was replaced within hours. Will definitely choose to stay here again when we come back to Sidney!

Parking is very narrow passengers must exit car prior to parking.

The home and surrounding areas were just perfect, quiet and very convenient. We are a senior couple, travelling with my sister. It was lovely having two separate bedrooms with their own bathroom, and lots of seating options.
4.8
This property is one of a kind. Very well located with water views and very peaceful. A great spot to get away, relax and recharge. The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to cook our meals with ease. The upper loft area is the perfect place to read and work. We will be returning for a stay in the summer.

Nice place but takes a team of lawyers a week to go over the agreement.

4.8
Spacious, nicely appointed, very clean and comfortable cottage with a cozy vibe at the end of a quiet lane in the Sydney suburbs, ideal for a peaceful stay for a few days and to use a base for surrounding area attractions. Note limited parking (covered parking for one vehicle only, extra street parking some distance away, not in front of property). Note that this listing is managed by a third party rental company, so expect a certain amount of extra red tape to deal with (extra ironclad rental contract, multiple emails, phone calls etc. ), however the process ran efficiently and the company was responsive to short notice adjustment in check-in arrangements due to inclement winter weather.

Reviewer Comments:
Heron Cottage is a wonderful property. Good location near the water; very quiet in residential neighbourhood. Nice rustic decor, comfortable beds, kitchen well equipped. A bit far to walk to grocery store, would recommend a car. Owner lives next door and very pleasant, although rental agency takes care of checking in. The latter is my only complaint. Almost “too professional” : strict rules, lack of flexibility, long rental agreement, too much paperwork. But overall, very pleased with our stay. Pictures on website represent well the actual property, albeit a bit smaller than expected.

It was a lovely stay, kitchen was well equipped. The coffee maker just gave up the ghost on the last day. Beds were good. Parking was street parking but never an issue. We found it a lovely home away from home.

I discovered the rental property for Heron View Cottage on line. I had no trouble booking the dates that I wanted to stay. Dealing with the rental company was very professional and friendly. Getting around Sidney very easy, goingcyo Victoria and up Island very easy from our holiday let. I would highly recommend this rental property. I am already looking for new dates to come back.

This rental was very clean and comfortable. The check in process was quick and easy. It has an awesome little patio and back garden to sit and relax. I loved that the second level had a sitting room as well as its own 3 piece bath. Overall my daughter and I had a great stay and do recommend it.

We came for a four night stay, and loved the home! It’s inviting, comfortable, has all the amenities we needed, plus lots of puzzles, books, games and cable TV for the rainy days. Extremely clean, beautifully updated and the view of the ocean is nice.

Beautiful home away from home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is so well appointed and comfortable. It’s a stretch to call it a “cottage” since it’s really quite big! The owner has thought of everything that you might need. The only things that we would change or add is: More access to tv channels (it rained a lot so we stayed in!), newer stereo system and better quality toilet paper! Lol Other than that it was so nice to get away after months of isolation!

Excellent place to stay. The cottage is comfortable and very nicely furnished. A friend and I stayed for 3 nights and we couldn’t have asked for more except the bed on the main floor is very old and lumpy. The bed needs to be replaced. The upstairs bed is comfortable.

October 2021 Stay
A wonderful and Serene place to stay. Lots of room with lots of windows which keep the place bright even on those dull days that happen so often this time of year.
The owner of the cottage is a very nice and engaging person. The property is spotless and fully modern with a fully kitted out kitchen, an eclectic collection of books and board games and a nice little stereo complete with a few CD's to listen to in the background as you cozy up in the living room to enjoy a book or two.
There is a nice private deck and garden area for when the weather is nice and get a nice view to the bay from there. Beds are very comfortable and that same view to Roberts Bay greets you in the morning when you first open your eyes in the Master bedroom.
Everything about this place will exceed your expections.

The process to rent is simple. I would have prepared contactless check in. The cleaners needs to do a better job cleaning. The cottage will look so much better with a bit less furniture. Its also a good idea to fresheb up the cottage prior to check in. My initial expression wasnt good, the place had a stale smell. The tub on the main floor had a very slow drain
