My friend and I stayed here while we were on a road trip to celebrate my 70th birthday. The place was quite adequate for our needs, with plenty of linens, kitchen items, comfortable beds, and a nice sitting area outside where we could enjoy the serenity and peace of the surrounding woods. Throughout the place, all the beautiful woodwork with the whales was so charming! We chose this place because it’s located about halfway between Butchart Gardens and the Empress Hotel, two places we wanted to visit during our stay. Our host, Marina, was attentive to our needs and when we told her we might be arriving very late at night due to ferry availability, she made sure we had excellent directions to get to her place in the dark. We’d definitely stay here again!
