Minutes from Butchart Gardens on a secluded 5 acre estate.

Welcome to the Hideaway. A detached 1 bedroom 1 bathroom carriage house nestled among the fir and maple trees on a private 5 acre farm just minutes away from Butchart Gardens.
The space
The unit is on the lower corner of our property and offers privacy and seclusion. The carriage house is set a fair distance from all public streets and thus is very quiet. There is a fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils, cookware, basic spices and condiments required to prepare home cooked meals. On the ground level there is a laundry room which includes a full sized Maytag washer and dryer duo. There is additional storage space if you need to store items for a longer stay.

There is a 4K smart TV in the unit and we have a full selection of cable TV channels including HBO and all the streaming services. There is high speed wifi (over 500 mbps) in the unit making it ideal for remote work.

The property is ideal for travelling professionals who require a longer stay with or without a furry companion. Access to our private fenced 2 acre forest with walking paths can be arranged. (we have dogs on the property who can access the forest from our yard)

We are a 5 minute drive from Butchart gardens and the village of Brentwood Bay where you will find a Pharmasave and a Fairway grocery store.

Within a 15-minute drive you can visit:
• Panorama Recreation Centre
• Saanich Peninsula Hospital
• Island View Beach
• Elk and Beaver Lake Regional Park (10-km trail)
• Victoria International Airport

Within a 20-minute drive:
• Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal
• Downtown Victoria
• Victoria General Hospital

Check in is set to 5pm due to the cleaning schedule. Earlier check in may be possible, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to try and make it work.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

My dog and I loved our extended stay at Michael's lovely carriage house. We needed to stay due to a water leak at my condo and his place truly was a home away from home. It had a well stocked coffee station, cozy living room, and kitchen with all the basics for cooking. Location isn't too far a drive from the city, close to some great spots in Saanich. Michael was very responsive and accommodating. Definitely would stay again!
