Charming suite in Shawnigan Lake was excellent during our stay, it was close to everything we wanted to visit outside of Victoria BC. It was clean, beautifully decorated and lots of room for 2 people. A nice kitchen to prepare breakfast before our outings. The bed was very comfortable and the extra bedroom had a TV with a sofa. There was a patio with table and chairs which we used daily. The village atmosphere was amazing with good restaurants and coffee shops. One of the best rentals we had ever stayed in.

May long in BV

Overall, the experience was excellent. The facilities were spot on. Enjoyed having the washer and dryer right in our suite. Only complaint was that the road is being repaired so parking was at a premium. Would suggest our host think about fixing up his walkway from the down the driveway. It's a little precarious
