The house felt like home. The host, Rick, called ahead of time to make arrangements to meet us to make sure we had all the details we needed. The rental owner, Jim, came and introduced himself which was such a personal touch. The home had a great variety of games and books for all ages. The view was awesome and Sidney is a place that continues to draw us back.

A lovely get away!

We love staying at Heron View Cottage. I travel with my elderly mother and everything is easily accessible for her. It is clean and the location makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. It is convenient for the Butchart Gardens and downtown Victoria is also easy to get to. Jim is a lovely host.
