The view of the surrounding mountains and distant ocean is spectacular. Perched high on a hilltop overlooking a little lake, this gem has a lovely covered outdoor area where you can spend time looking at the view and hearing the trees waving in the wind. The suite is well appointed and is tastefully decorated with interesting art pieces. As dog lovers, we enjoyed meeting their two large fluffy dogs. We made the mistake of spending our last night in "downtown" Victoria rather than continuing to stay at Doug & Rick's place. It's only a 25 minute drive to downtown - the extra diving time is worth it!
