Norm met us at the door like an old friend. He showed us the cottage which is located on their property, but it felt very private. Loved, loved, loved the cottage and the location right on the water. We spent many happy hours on the deck watching the local seals and river otters. Our teenage childen loved it so much they didn't want to go anywhere else! The cottage is spacious and sunny and has everything you need. The beds were so comfortable and we all slept well. I honestly can't say anything that could be improved upon and I would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway spot that is close enough to Victoria for a day trip. We drove up to Port Renfrew to Botanical Beach and actually had pods of orcas pass by close to shore - what an amazing sight. Thanks Norm and Pam for a wonderful four days. Hope we get to visit again sometime.
