I stayed with Winnie and Anya for about 3 weeks, much longer than I intended!
The Pine Yoga studio was perfect for a base to explore other places on the island.
Her place is very quiet and the room itself is lovely and very comfortable.
I enjoyed the artwork in the room too.
It is equipped with everything you need might need, and if there isn't something all you need do is ask and Miss Winnie will magically have it for you.

Being able to put the bed up and continue my practice meditation and yoga every day was Awesome.
The location is a perfect combination of peace and convenience.

She makes great efforts to keep her home clean and Anya fur free & Anya is such a sweet soul to have around.

"Above and beyond" is an understatement when it comes to Winnie.
As others have stated, she is an extremely warm person who loves to be around people.
She is a musical person and if you are lucky, you will hear her lovely flute on a beach walk.
She has a TON of recommendations and suggestions for things to do and see.
Mostly, what comes to mind with her are the little things, which make ALL the difference when staying somewhere.

She has thought of literally everything a traveler and tourist would need to be comfortable; from blinds that actually shut out ALL the light, (which is deeply appreciated when you are jet lagged) to a little basket to put all your toiletry things in, tons of literature on things to do here, to even making breakfast for you just because she is kind.
Winnie met me before I even checked in to her place to show me around and have fun, how many hosts do you know that do that?!

I continued my Christmas with strangers theme this year, which turned to to be lovely indeed.
Winnie took care of everything and I had a great and very fun Christmas holiday!

I was able to "hire" her to take me out to Sooke where I was staying for a week because I didn't have a car and she was sweet enough to pick me up.
I am very grateful for everything she did during my stay.

Thank you Winnie and Dear Anya!
