You are so close to Butchart Gardens you can go home in the afternoon for lunch and a nap, and then go back at night to see the lights and stay after the crowds have gone. Rather a special perk.
As for Seymour's place, it is fairly advertised, and you will get what you see, as he is straightforward. It was lovely eating out on the back porch, just outside the kitchen, with trees all around and privacy.
