Many Victoria-area attractions are within a short drive away including the popular Butchart Gardens.

There are so many things to do and see, knowing that a very comfortable, spacious welcoming garden suite awaits you during your stay. Ample parking spaces are available. Six easy steps to enter the sunroom leading you to a well appointed kitchen which includes a coffee machine (drip and Keurig), air fryer, fridge, stove, juicer, spices, microwave, dishes, utensils, pots and pans, baking and roasting pans and more.

The master bedroom has a king-sized bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a chaise lounge. The bathroom is equipped with all essential items, Including hair dryer, flat iron and hair spray. Enjoy a soak in the bathtub with Epsom salt.

We have fast wi-fi in the suite. The living room has a new wood stove, comfortable seating, and a 58-inch smart TV with a great cable package (including Netflix, Prime, Crave, HBO and a good selection of sports channels). The dining table has seating for 6 comfortably, but can accommodate 8.

Enjoy a Sauna (infrared) after a day of touring. It has seating for 3.
A walkway takes you to a gazebo in the garden for meditation, quiet reading, coffee and smoke breaks, away from the main suite.

We are a pet friendly home and would expect that you clean up after your pup and not allow them on the furniture. Please leash your furry friend when leaving the unit. There are some great places to walk your dog, whether it is just around our neighborhood, or to the ocean at the government dock, or one of the trails or marinas in the area. Also fun for your pup is a popular off leash dog park (Cy Hampson Park) about a 10-minute drive away.

Nearby hiking trails and a duck pond trail are a joy to walk. We are within a short walking distance of a few marinas, one of which has a great pub and a cafe/fine dining restaurant.

The quaint seaside town of Sidney is just a 5 minute drive away. From there you can book whale watching tours, and kayak rentals. A Sidney Island Spit boat will take you to sandy beaches for your picnic lunch, purchased from one of the wonderful bakeries located here. The ocean pier walk about will take you to wonderful restaurants and Port Sidney to view boats and shopping! The summer months offer many activities from live concerts by the ocean to street markets.

The Army and Navy Club has popular live band music every Friday night, a large dance floor, pool tables and darts. Open to all. Truly the best place for fun.

Cycling is very popular here with a paved trail taking you from near FireThorn Manor to Sidney and beyond to experience island life. We are close to wineries, breweries, and even a gin distillery which are very popular.

The owner is a Clinical Esthetician and Diabetic Foot Specialist with a studio inside the manor above the suite should you require treatments.

If you require anything during your stay, we live upstairs and are a call or a text away.

We put a lot of time and effort to make the garden suite inviting and comfortable for your stay and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on what we could improve upon for your comfort. If something is lacking please let us know immediately.

A guest book is available for your comments. If you totally enjoyed your visit, please leave a review on the website.

Thank you for your interest. Hope to see you soon.

Clean, spacious, well-equipped. Great location. Lots of fun extra features to make it a memorable stay. Having our own indoor infrared sauna was great. We all slept better because of our red light therapy sessions and my chronic pain disappeared for a few days. Perfect 4 night family vacation.

Our stay at FireThorn Manor was wonderful. Romí and Terry were exceptional hosts—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The suite was spacious, comfortable, and full of thoughtful personal touches. The beautiful views along Lands End Road made mornings and evenings especially peaceful and memorable. A truly relaxing stay, and we would happily return.

Firethorn completely met our expectations. It was very spacious and comfortable. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and made us feel right at home. We found access to both the ferry terminal and the airport to be very convenient. Unfortunately, our stay was very brief which meant that we didn't have the opportunity to see or do things in the neighbourhood beyond enjoying a lovely visit with good friends in Sidney.
