Bill and Marg were exceptional hosts - meeting me when I arrived, touring the place, giving me ideas about the area and taking a true interest in my travels to Victoria. The pictures of the place are very accurate, but don't convey the HUGE space of this place. The full kitchen was a nice addition for a longer stay, but I even made use of the oven on my 4 day trip. As far as location, this is in a very quiet, wooded, residential area at the end of a dead-end street - very tranquil. Downtown was a quick ~15 minute drive and the whole area from Sidney down to Victoria Harbour was in easy ~20 to 25 minute max driving distance.
