Your Location: The Falls Building is highly sought-after for good reason—the best of the city is only a 5-minute walk away! Stroll two blocks down to Victoria's beautiful Inner Harbour and take in the local street entertainment or escape to the water on the quaint harbour ferries or with a world-class whale watching, fishing or sailing tour. Water enthusiasts can also kayak or paddle board in this inner harbour and gorge waterway. BC's Legislature buildings and the majestic Fairmont Empress hotel are found here as well, and both beautifully lit at night, making for a magical evening along the waterfront. Further along you will find the hidden treasure, Fisherman's Wharf, with funky shops and food vendors, seafood right off the dock, all amongst moored pleasure vessels and houseboats in the heart of the working harbour.
Steps from this harbour area, is the world-renowned Royal British Columbia Museum and IMAX Theatre. There are also carriage rides, scenic boat and bus tours that can take you to Butchart Gardens, and Historic Walking Tours, including ghost tours.
Still only a short walk away is Beacon Hill Park, known for its lush gardens and resident peacocks, and its spectacular ocean and sunset views. Watch freighters pass by and maybe see a seal or two! For those who like to stay active while away, Beacon Hill Park has a fantastic running and cycling trail along the oceanfront. Another nearby trail is the Galloping Goose Trail, which runs all the way to Sidney!
Victoria has a vibrant food scene and there are countless restaurants and cafes to try nearby—you certainly won't have any trouble finding a restaurant.
Amenities: Includes a fitness gym and hot tub (open year-round) and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and poolside lounge (with change room/shower) and outdoor fire pit and lounge area. (The pool and hot tub have a water filter system which is tested daily and conforms with the Public Health Act.)
Transportation: Victoria is known for its excellent public transportation, but if you're going further afoot: BC Ferries (Swartz Bay) is a 30-minute drive away or the BC Ferries Connector Bus Service (just one block away) provides service to the Gulf Islands, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The Coho Ferry to Washington State leaves from the Inner Harbour. Float planes fly daily straight out of The Inner Harbour traveling to Seattle, Vancouver, Whistler or Sunshine Coast. The Victoria Clipper passenger-only-ferry sails into downtown Seattle and offers ground transport shuttles to other destinations in Seattle, such as the airport. The Victoria Airport (30 minutes away) is accessible by convenient shuttle (YYJ Shuttle), just one block away.
We look forward to greeting you on your arrival and will be on hand to provide the highest quality of service throughout your stay. The condo is stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay from bathroom amenities to laundry soap. We love what we do and a big part of that is ensuring that you have the best “home away from home” experience ever!
Important Notes:
Victoria is the busy, vibrant and growing capital of British Columbia. Just as in many cities in BC, Canada and likely other countries in the world, we are experiencing a shortage of housing. In dealing with this situation there are several new buildings being constructed in the downtown core, and elsewhere. We recognize that there could be some daytime noise but are confident that it will not interfere with your time in beautiful Victoria. Please note, construction is on-going on a building site located next to the Falls building. This may result in some inconvenience caused by building noise during normal working hours.
You will receive the important check-in information email and text message with the check-in instructions 7 days before arrival. Check-in starts at 4 pm P.S.T.
GARAGE HEIGHT: 6'8" (2.03 m) - If you have a large vehicle, please ensure that your vehicle will fit the garage height restriction.
Unfortunately this building has no availability in the bike room. We recommend renting bikes while you are here, many of the bike rental companies will allow them to be stored there at the end of the day even if you rent them for a week.
