Dianne's Garden Retreat is exactly that. We thoroughly enjoyed our 12 day stay. We were warmly welcomed, Dianne happily recommended restaurants and hiking spots for us to explore. Excellent location within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf, water front, restaurants and downtown. For those who prefer to cook their own meals, kitchen is well equipped. The private back deck is an oasis after a long day of walking or hiking with a comfy king bed to crawl into at the end of the day. I would highly recommend this spot, you can't beat the location. Close to everything but removed from the busy waterfront. We are looking forward to booking again for our next trip to Victoria.
