Our family stayed at Heather & Rob’s cottage for two nights in December. The check in process was simple, and their directions were great!
The views from the balcony were breathtaking. Completely unobstructed and even better than we expected! Although there were neighbours on each side we did not see or hear them during our stay at all!
Kitchen was well-equipped. The bedrooms were wonderful, with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The pull-out bed was very comfortable as well! We had 5 adults and two babies in our group and found the space to be large enough and comfortable for all of us.
Many hiking trails and other attractions are close by, and we visited Botanical Beach, the Renfew Pub and Mystic Beach during our stay. We wanted to visit Avatar Grove but decided not to because the road to get there hadn’t been plowed yet. If visiting in the winter, I’d recommend a car with four wheel drive! It was quite snowy.
Like they suggest, it’s best to stop for groceries in Victoria or Sooke on your way in. Port Renfrew’s general store was better stocked than we expected, but the hours weren’t great.
Our only minor disappointments were that the cleaners had forgotten to stock toilet paper for our stay and we weren’t able to get the fireplace to work. The hosts were responsive when I messaged them regarding these two items, and we still enjoyed our stay immensely.
This cottage is a perfect place to experience the natural beauty of Port Renfew. I’d love to come back in the summer when we can sit on the balcony with a coffee and a book. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
