We can't say enough great things about our stay. First the home is so well appointed and so much thought put into the running of the place. You just have to , and want to, read the manual. I've never seen such a manual with so much historical info on the house , the running of the house and the surrounding places , venues etc. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and everything worked. We felt a little cool at first but once we build a small fire in their woodstove the place heated up nicely. We were not able to take advantage of the south facing deck but it looks great. The property is so sweet and adorned by the pottery made by Walter Dexter the original owner. WE were an 8 minute walk from Witty's lagoon and an amazing view of the landscape. The park is much bigger than it appears. On to Metchosin which has a few eateries , bakery and more than adequate grocery shopping. Ok next bonus is you are a short drive to Victoria or any other area along the beautiful coast. We loved it.
