Now we know why Jennifer and Tom get five stars across the board. Our stay was a delight in every way. These are knowledgeable, welcoming hosts who shared their home and garden with us. We feel as if we've made new friends.
This home is especially well suited to people who enjoy Victorian homes and appreciate learning the history of an area. Jennifer tells wonderful stories that capture what life must have been like in earlier times, all the while serving a delicious breakfast. We left each day fortified and with enough information to make our day easy and pleasurable. Her tip about being able to ride the bus all day for 5 Canadian dollars was especially helpful. We even made it out to Butchart Gardens for that price. Real value.
Enjoy your visit. We spent three full days seeing the sights in Victoria and could have easily used another day. Not having a car was a blessing actually. Next visit, we will rent a car and see more of the island, but for Victoria itself, car-less is the way to go. Use Jennifer's recommended list of sights and hikes. You won't go wrong.
