My husband, daughter and I stayed at Joanne and Dean's lovely loft for four nights before moving my daughter into residence at UVic. The loft is beautiful. It is very apparent that it was designed and renovated professionally. The loft had plenty of space for the three of us. There is a queen bed on the main level and a queen bed in the loft. The beds and bedding were comfortable. Access to the upper loft bedroom is via a narrow spiral staircase. The upper loft bedroom area has only a few feet of height clearance (i.e. you can't stand up). My 18 year old daughter was totally fine with it, but it might be tight for two adults who like space to maneuver around. The entire loft was incredibly well stocked. Joanne and Dean have thought of everything a guest may need. I honestly can't think of anything that was lacking. The loft was also SPOTLESS. If cleanliness is big for you, this place will not disappoint. The cul-de-sac is exceptionally quaint and quiet. There is very comfortable seating both on the private deck and the lawn. Perfect for your morning tea or coffee. Joanne and Dean are truly the consummate hosts. They live on the property - their house is metres away from the loft - but they provide guests with absolute privacy. They provide a very warm welcome when you arrive, are available for any concerns, but otherwise leave you to enjoy the lovely loft and relaxing setting like you are the only people on the street. The area is absolutely beautiful. There are tons of easy and harder hikes within minutes and a beautiful swimmable lake within minutes as well. In the greater Victoria area, nothing is far, and even a 20 minute drive somewhere is an absolute joy because the scenery is all so stunning. If you want value for money in Victoria, especially in high season, I honestly don't think you could do better than this place. We couldn't be happier with our stay at the Loft and would definitely stay again.
