We were met on arrival and the welcome was warm, with information about the property and the area. The owners live right next door so were readily available for help or advice, but we felt, throughout, that the space was ours. They have two young children who are so well-behaved we hardly knew they were there!
The property was immaculate, spacious and comfortable, well-equipped and quiet. We had taken a camp-bed with us because we knew there were two double beds and we have one teenage boy and one girl but it was not considered to be a problem and one of the rooms was plenty big enough to accommodate it.
The location was lovely, up a somewhat narrow bendy road from the main highway. It backs onto woods where deer occasionally appeared. We had a visit from a raccoon and were able to watch hummingbirds from the kitchen window.
Although it is out of the city (which is what we wanted), access is straight onto Highway 1 and it didn't take long to get to Langford or Victoria, or Duncan in the other direction. Closer to 'home', there were walks available through the woods in Goldstream Park.
