This place was perfect for our team of 3 in town for a week-long workshop. The host was responsive. The location and garden were just fabulous and I wish we weren't so busy while we were there so that we could spend a bit more time relaxing around the house. We spent a bit on cabs getting around but they were cheap and quick so not a drama and much better than mucking around with a car. The vicinity is awesome... beach, park, art gallery, castle even, worlds tallest totem pole etc etc. Plus deer and squirrels. And the local shopping - although quite a few blocks away - was great on a summer's evening to stroll. Highly recommended.
