My wife and I came to Victoria to attend the Highland Games. We enjoyed our stay here very much! John was very helpful and extremely friendly. The unit was very homey and clean and the neighborhood was very quiet. If I return to Victoria I will definitely be staying here again. The front and rear gardens are very beautiful as well!

My daughter and I spent four nights at Oaklands 8 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfortable and the pull out couch was top notch. The kitchen had everything we needed and all of the finishes in the suite (bathroom and kitchen) were first class and new. The view through the front window out into a lovely garden was awesome. Fernwood is a great neighbourhood and we took advantage of the local pub, fish and chips shop and the lovely walking opportunities. We split our time between UVic and downtown and both were only minutes away by car but it's a good location for almost any activity. The back garden was breathtaking and I lucked into an awesome tour by our host John!

We had a fantastic stay here. Lovely appointed apartment with everything you need. Lovely quiet area to stay in but has shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Easy walk to Downtown. We walked to see everything we wanted. Nice not to be in the car. The owners are fantastic and so helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending this as a great place to stay. When we return I will be staying there again.

This has been our best home away stay so far. Recently renovated and designed by the owners with exquisite taste and attention to every detail, the apartment is very comfortable and peaceful, as are the beautiful surroundings. John and Rob are very friendly, helpful and easy to reach and communicate with. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing vacation experience. John and Rob are excellent hosts. John met us upon arrival, and graciously gave us a tour of their beautiful garden. The apartment was immaculate, beautifully decorated and well stocked. The location was perfect for our needs. It’s a very short drive to downtown attractions and close to local parks /public gardens. We tried several nearby restaurants John recommended, and they were all wonderful. Everything was perfect.

Who needs Butchart Gardens when you have John and Rob's place? Beautiful with everything you need in this cozy apartment and a gorgeous garden to wander through and relax in. The bed is very comfortable as is the fold out single, if you need it. My cousin stayed a night while I was there for the week visiting my sister in the hospital and she wants to buy one for her place. Fernwood is a lovely neighbourhood with lots of little places of intrigue within walking distance. I was on foot/bus and I found I could reach both the hospital (Victoria General by bus) and downtown very easily. Downtown is a short bus ride, but I also walked there. John and Rob are excellent hosts. They made me feel very welcome and provided me with maps and information on where to go and how to get there. I would not hesitate to recommend this place and look forward to returning when I next visit Victoria.
