Highly enjoyed our stay. The unit was spacious and well equipped with everything you could need. All toiletries were provided. Keurig coffee machine was really nice to have.
Location was perfect as it was out of the city in a quiet neighbourhood. The bus stop in across the street from the house. It is a 10 minute drive to the airport, 30 minutes to downtown or a 60 minute bus ride.
We found having a rental vehicle for one day was essential. That way we could get acquainted with the area, buy bottled water and any groceries we needed. Just returned the rental at the airport the following morning and took the bus downtown. There weren’t grocery stores or restaurants within walking distance. Closest was a 10min bus ride away to Sidney. Which is 100% worth checking out.
Things worth doing as a tourist in Victoria:
-Butchart gardens is a must
-Tour the inner harbour and get off at the fisherman’s wharf for fish & chips (fish store restaurant was the best)
-Walk all the fun streets downtown, lots of cute shops and boutiques
- Eat sushi in Sidney at J kitchen Japanese and Korean restaurant. Best sushi I’ve ever had.
-Have chocolate dipped ice cream at Chocolat favorits (salted caramel!!)
-Sailing tour or whale watching tour
-Bike Beacon hill park
-Walk the marina in Sidney and the marina in downtown Victoria
Thank you so much for hosting us, we will definitely be back!😄
