If you get a choice in places to stay on Victoria island, do not hesitate: Garry and Muriel are the hosts you want to meet for a nice stay. Garry and Muriel do not manage a B&B, they make sure you will stay in a BB&... you know what B&B means, Bed &Breakfast, right, but that's not what you get there, it's a Bed, Breakfast & more, much more! Garry has choosen to live in a marvellous area surrounded by nature - by the way, East Sooke Regional Park edges the limits of his property - and nature has remained in his more than 2.5 acres (1 ha) property where he is taking care of it to make sure you can enjoy it; when you are there, you feel just like in the middle of nowhere but you get everything you need, and even more: we had the chance to spend part of our last evening talking to Garry and Muriel around a propane fire pit that made the atmosphere just warm enough to talk together in a falling night of the beginning of September. Almost for sure you will see some wild life on the property: we have seen rabbits and humming birds, there are also deers who eat their hydrangea forcing Garry and Muriel to surround them with wire-mesh...and not to forget Lady the cat.
Let's talk about the room itself: it's a huge 5 stars room with a well equiped kitchen, outside you get your own terrace or patio, you can barbecue and, in case you forgot to vegetables for your salad you can just go to the garden and grab a cucumber and some tomatoes...
You would like to see the stars at night like you never see them from a city, just raise your head.
Thank you Muriel, thank you Garry, you and your home are indelibly printed in our memory.
Nicole and Pierre
