Staying at Joanne’s place was as close to paradise as you can get. It was in a beautiful wooded, and very secluded area, yet minutes away from many amenities (literally, big box outlets 5 minutes from the door), and Victoria only 15 minutes away. On the other hand, the location was perfect to access the wonderful drive up the coast to some of the best beaches and hiking trails on the island.
The large and bright apartment was very well equipped, clean, modern, and super quiet.
If you are looking for something which is conveniently close to the city, but leaves you feel like you are miles away from things, this apartment cannot be beat.
Highly recommended, and certainly would be our first choice destination if ever in Victoria again.
