Unfortunately, I didn’t get too much of a chance to chat with Dennis and Joan in person, aside from a very brief interaction Wednesday night when I arrived. I had just finished a double shift at work, then a rush to the ferry; so it was probably a little shorter than it could have been.
However, what I CAN tell you about is their space; which was fantastic. Clean, restful, and with lots of thoughtful touches and amenities.
There was coffee and tea, butter (in the fridge) muffins and some fruit; all stocked in the kitchen on my arrival.
The kitchen also had a coffee maker, electric kettle, as well an electric cooktop with accompanying pots and pans. Laundry was available at the “foyer” of the suite.
There was an informative binder full of information about the suite, as well as a few bits about the locale.
The neighborhood is wooded and quiet, but still clearly residential, not necessarily rural. The quiet at night is a fantastic feature of the location. Deer, raccoons, birds and rabbits are some of the wildlife you’ll be likely to see along the road on your way in or out.
Generally speaking; a very thoughtfully laid-out and maintained space. Which was welcoming, and showed that they cared about it. It’s somewhere I would certainly stay again next time I’m in Victoria.
