We were in Victoria for a wedding and had a wonderful trip using Lorraine's home as a base. All was very clean and comfortable (great sleeps on the bed!). Lorraine and her husband greeted us graciously even though we arrived very late in the evening. Our days were off to a great start with her home-baked muffins and coffee and tea. We would definitely stay again if we come back to Victoria. We did have a car so we had no trouble driving in and out of Victoria proper--10 minutes away. The house is very close to the water. Willow Beach is only minutes away and has a lovely boardwalk. The family has a gentle older dog--we like dogs so fine for us. Great stay!
