Located a short $20 cab ride from Victoria Airport, this welcoming BnB is far above the standard fare of BnB's. The hosts, Jo-Ann and Phil, are most gracious and I certainly felt more like an old family friend than a complete stranger. Their sons are very friendly and helpful.
I was quite sure that this BnB was a recently renovated to serve this purpose-it's that clean and tidy!
The accommodations are exquisite, starting with a very cozy bedroom.
The bed itself was very comfortable to sleep in, and that's coming from someone who sleeps on a waterbed at home.
Out the bedroom window, in the morning, you can see Mount Baker, along with numerous Herons and Seagulls all calling out as the tide recedes. Great for morning walks and if you enjoy that salty air greeting from the oceans, you'll love this place if you crack the windows open. This does not result in humidity, which surprised me.
The bathroom, as was the rest of the area, was immaculate. Be warned though! To start the shower, you have to pull a ring downwards and this ring is located on the underside of the faucet. Perhaps it's this old traveler who just needs to get out more lol. Linen supplied was new and soft.
The kitchen is perfect and again, extremely clean. Well supplied for anything you might need in order to create your meals in terms of baking/cooking utensils. Everything was in good working order from the stove to the fridge.
The living room is comfortable, with a beautiful flat screen and fire place to accompany the luxurious feeling.
On the credenza are some books about the area, including wines native to Vancouver Island. Amazing.
The location was excellent. Literally, outside the door is the local transit which can whisk you away to downtown Sydney in under 10 minutes. Or you can hail a taxi which is around a $7.50 ride, one way.
Jo-Ann and Phil both make themselves available to you and are happy to answer any questions you might have.
Very happy camper!..
