What a fabulous place to stay! Carene's floating house is a truly unique and enjoyable stay, in a fantastic area of Victoria. We spent two nights here as a staycation, and were so disappointed on the day we had to leave- we could have easily spent a week (or a lifetime)! Prior to our stay, I'd figured there are just things you give up to stay at a bnb on a floating house- maybe hot water, water pressure in the shower, flush toilets or space. You will give up none of these things, and indeed nothing at all, when staying with Carene. We rented both downstairs rooms for our stay, and each was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with nice touches throughout, a comfortable private bathroom, mini fridges, coffee makers and a little balcony to enjoy some coffee or wine on in the evenings :)
We had plenty of space to lounge inside our rooms or on the little balconies, and the breakfasts included in the room price (provided at a cute little cafe a block away from the bnb) were to die for. There were restaurants and shops immediately closeby on Fisherman's Wharf, but also endless opportunities within a five-ten minute walk. We even got to enjoy watching some sea otters and seals playing on the Wharf one evening!
Thanks Carene for the lovely experience! We will certainly be back.
