Lovely place and good location for us. We have been visiting Victoria off and on since the mid 1990's so know our way around pretty well. We had easy access to visiting friends in Sooke, James Bay, Colwood, Sidney and Campbell River. Supermarkets and restaurants off Tillicum road were easily accessed.
A couple of things that make the Cottage a bit of a problem for seniors in their eighties are the two levels of the cottage and the long trek to transfer luggage to and from the parking spot. It would be nice to have access to both CBC and CTV national news and especially sport channels like TSN and SN. Not possible to watch HNIC.
