Have stayed many times on Van Island, but this time was the first time we considered staying in Saanich and we weren’t disappointed. Jody has a beautiful spot on the edge of the 10 km walk around Elk Lake. We walked part of it the evening and morning of our stay. Quiet and safe yet a short drive to a great brewery/restaurant, the remarkable - yet largely undiscovered - Horticultural Centre of the Pacific. Will be back.
