About this house rental
Relax back in our large, cosy guesthouse that’s big enough for the whole family, and supplied with all the amenities, including heat/air conditioning, washer/dryer, large tv, and wifi; to name a few. Large decks overlook duck ponds and pastures of grazing cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and turkeys. The view from the deck over neighbouring farms is second to none. The area is well know for its diverse bird population- from Owls and eagles, to herons and sparrows. A bird-lovers paradise.
Our home is the perfect escape from the city, yet 5 min from the airport, ferries, and Town of Sidney - a charming seaside town with everything from breweries, fine restaurants, museums, and cinemas, to great shopping!
We are a 10 min walk to the Pat Bay beach. We have amazing hiking trails.
Perhaps one of the most breath taking aspects of our area is the The Gulf Islands National Park. You can access some of these Islands by ferry, or we can arrange a private boat charter upon request.

Our family of 5 (myself, partner and child plus my parents) really enjoyed our week at the Country Retreat. The guesthouse is very bright and clean, with ample space to cook, eat and relax. Very well stocked kitchen. Highlights: feeding the compost to the chickens, hunting for lizards on the rocks, petting Buster the cat, enjoying the gorgeous scenery on the farm. Beaches and Sidney are a short drive, as is the lovely Horth Hill for trails and friendly hikers. Victoria is close enough for a day trip. Also, both the ferry and the airport are nearby, which made for easy travel.Hosts were extremely kind and friendly. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful one night stay at Tess’s very lovely farm! We had our children with us, and Tess was so warm and welcoming. We loved meeting all the farm animals. The guesthouse was had every thing we needed and we are so grateful for all the children’s books and games that were so thoughtfully added! This is a really wonderful place to bring your family! We hope to be back again! Thank you to Tess and her family for having us!

This is a very nice place and the host is super helpful and kind. Need to take the kids to play? A park like a 3 minute drive. Walk to the beach? A nice 15 minute walk where you will probably spot some deer. Need some supplies? A short drive into town (8minutes). I was super impressed with how clean everything was and how well stocked the kitchen was with spices and other cooking essentials. It was great to have a peaceful getaway. Thanks again for everything Tess!

I booked this property for 7 family members who were coming to town for a family function. They were very happy with their stay. The property is gorgeous, the hosts are very easy to communicate with. The suite was very clean, all beds were comfortable and everyone reported a good night sleep. Location is very close to both the ferry terminal and the airport. Close to Sidney, which they loved. Would recommend for sure!

Very nice barn house and people. Tidy and clean rooms. Beautiful farm view and lovely animals. There is even a picnic basket ready for you. Most important thing - pet friendly - our dog loves here. It is not far from Sydney and the sea side, pretty convinient for grocery. My family and friends enjoyed the stay here.

This accomodation is very private located in a separate building. It is very comfortable and many extras are provided. It has a complete kitchen with nearly everything needed for an extended stay. It is delightful in its farm setting, and close to Sydney as well as Victoria. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

Loved the stay. Tess thought of everything. The space is light and airy, big and comfortable. The vintage turkeys amusing with their gobbles. The willow tree in the inlet was so sweet and we enjoyed the sound of the rain on the metal roof.

It was fun staying on a working farm and the animals were just great and no problem whatsoever. We really made good use of both the clothes washer and dishwasher, very handy.
