This host goes above and beyond to assure her guests have a wonderful experience. The Garden Retreat is compact, but has everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Dianne is extremely thoughtful in providing so many extra little touches that were unexpected. The location in James Bay is centrally located and an easy walk to sightseeing, shopping and dining experiences. We enjoyed the beauty of the water from Ogden Point, the quaint Fisherman's Wharf and the lively downtown area of Victoria. All were in easy walking distance. I would highly recommend this host and the Garden Retreat.
