This accommodation is away from the downtown hubbub but that's OK. You can get to the popular sights within 5 minutes by car, 15 by bike. The accommodation is clean and pleasant with a nice view of the Gorge. Having a morning coffee overlooking the activity on that stretch of water was a delight. The kitchen doesn't allow for cooking hot meals which means cold meals (salads, sandwiches), grabbing some takeaway or eating out. Our host Darlene has great knowledge of both the immediate area and the city of Victoria itself. She provided us with lots of great tips which made our trip better and that's impressive since I lived in Victoria years ago and we've visited there lots of times. As cyclists, she told us how to access the Galloping Goose and Lochside trails which are fantastic for riding. I should mention, however, that we locked our bikes outside in a hidden corner on our first night only to find the next morning that they'd been vandalized. Fortunately, the damage wasn't significant, but it was worrisome. Darlene then suggested we use the accommodation for housing our bikes at night and that removed our anxiety.
