Ruzhdi’s place at Willis Point is as close to a perfect relaxing vacation spot as we have found in our travels. Sitting right by the water, the only sounds you hear are the lapping waves, the seagulls, and the occasional boat going by. Very private yet it’s only about a 30 minute drive to either downtown Victoria or Sydney. There are a number of lakes and hiking trails even closer for the days you want to avoid the city and enjoy the outdoors.
The house itself is cozy and welcoming. Sitting on the couch, you have windows on 3 sides so you can enjoy the panoramic view. We found the bed to be very comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. The steps going down to the house don’t have handrails but aren’t an issue if you take your time. We found them helpful to burn off a few of the extra calories. : ) The deck surrounding the house is set up with lounge chairs as well as a small table and chairs for outdoor dining. Ruzhdi did tell us that the dock is shared and we found that to be true as two harbor seals used it for dozing in the sun.
Ruzhdi is a good communicator, promptly responding to emails and willing to help us out in whatever way possible. He came out to greet us on arrival and wished us safe travels as we left. We’ve bookmarked this place for future travels we might have to Victoria and have already recommended it to several couples. It’s a definite winner!
