Maplewood Cottage: English Charm, West Coast Soul.
ENGLISH ROOTS, PACIFIC NORTHWEST SOUL
Step into a tranquil garden hideaway where English countryside charm meets the misty magic of the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by the timeless elegance of the Cotswolds, Maplewood Cottage is nestled in one of Victoria’s most peaceful and central neighborhoods—just minutes from the ocean, downtown, cafes, and scenic forested trails.
A KITCHEN MADE FOR SLOW LIVING
The farmhouse-style kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances and everything you need to create comforting meals or simple snacks. Thoughtful details—stone countertops, ceramic dishware, and natural textures—make cooking a pleasure, whether you’re baking scones or prepping a garden-inspired salad. Enjoy your meal at the vintage table beside a sunny window overlooking the courtyard.
SERENE, SPA-INSPIRED BATH
The spa-inspired bathroom features elegant wainscoting, soft lighting, and curated details that evoke an old-world cottage feel. Whether you’re starting your day with a refreshing shower or ending it with a moment of stillness, it’s a space designed to soothe.
RESTFUL SLEEP, GUARANTEED
The bedroom offers a plush queen bed with a premium Tempur-Pedic mattress to ensure restful, cloud-like sleep. Slip under the crisp linens and enjoy the quiet calm of the garden surroundings. Wake to the sound of birdsong and sunlight filtering through the windows—pure peace after a day of exploring the island.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERY MOOD
Unwind in the cozy lounge space with a mounted smart TV and access to Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, Prime Video, Crave, and full cable. Paired with a high speed fibre optic WiFi. Whether you’re staying in for a quiet evening or enjoying a rainy afternoon indoors, you’ll have endless entertainment at your fingertips.
SERENITY IN THE COURTYARD GARDEN
Step outside into your own secluded garden courtyard—surrounded by espalier apple trees, seasonal blooms, and a lovingly tended kitchen garden bursting with herbs and greens. This peaceful outdoor space is perfect for morning coffee, reading in the sunshine, or unwinding under the stars. Let the scent of lavender drift through the air as you enjoy a glass of wine or gather ingredients for a fresh garden-to-table meal.
