Step through our back gate and immerse yourself in nature with an abundance of quiet, low-impact trails perfect for all ages. For an unforgettable experience, take a short drive to the Kinsol Trestle, one of the world's tallest free-standing timber trestles. For more challenging hikes, explore the Malahat Ridge Trail or conquer Mount Finlayson in Goldstream Provincial Park. Skutz Falls, a slightly longer drive, offers breathtaking views worth the journey. Mountain biking enthusiasts will love Cobble Hill Mountain and Mount Tzouhalem, both popular local spots.
Unforgettable Attractions:

Golfing and Family Fun:
If golf is your game, you'll appreciate our proximity to Arbutus Ridge Golf Course and the Satellite Bar and Grill. For families travelling for hockey tournaments, the Kerry Park Recreation Centre is just moments away.
Explore the Island's Charms:
Take a scenic ride on the Mill Bay ferry to Brentwood Bay to visit the world-famous Butchart Gardens, the enchanting Butterfly Gardens, and the Aviation Museum in Sidney. Alternatively, embark on a short drive up island to explore Quadra Island, Salt Spring Island, or one of the other beautiful Gulf Islands for a day trip. The town of Chemainus offers a popular dinner theatre, while Ladysmith is a haven for antique shopping enthusiasts.

We went to Victoria for our anniversary. Everything was perfect. Dwight was an amazing host and gave us exceptional care. He greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and easy to talk to. The space was larger and nicer than expected for the price we paid. Dwight did an amazing job on this space. We used the hot tub after a long day in Victoria and it was a perfect end to the night to sit back and relax and enjoy our time. We had a few questions about the hot tub and Dwight was instantly available to show us how to work it. Check in and check out was easy. Place was very clean and very nice. I would stay there again on my next trip to Victoria.
