Absolutely wonderful location for our family to stay for the week. Gorgeous property and considerate hosts. We had not rented a space before with the hosts on site, so we were unsure, but it was excellent, as they gave us privacy to enjoy the great space but were a friendly hello and help when we did cross paths. The space was clean and tidy and worked wonderfully for our family of five. The location is in the heart of everywhere we wanted to visit and take in. Kinsol Trestle, Bright Angel Park, Cherry Point, Manley Creek, Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill, and popping down the Malahat to Victoria was no trouble at all.

We had a very comfortable stay at this beautiful, quiet spot. Unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy all that was offered to do other than morning coffee outdoors
