My wife & I just completed a 6 week "staycation" at the Tudor Cottage along with our Siamese cat. The location is ideal for taking walks into either downtown Victoria, Oak Bay, Cook St. Village, Beacon Hill Park, James Bay, etc. Craigdarroch Castle is a short walk and a must see for local history. The grounds of the Lieutenant Governor's house are also worth visiting and are a short walk away. The apartment is close to nearby grocery stores and pharmacies as well for those desiring an extended stay. We did not use our car for the first 2 weeks of our stay. Although we did not use the bus service, it is very close by and frequent with all day bus passes costing only $5. The accommodations are great, plenty of room and very comfortable beds, outstanding wifi and cable TV.
