Bethany's cottage is truly spectacular. It's right on the water and very peaceful. She's taken care to provide all of the basic amenities and if you are looking for a beautiful and private hideaway this is the perfect spot. I spent a week here while attending a conference at the University of Victoria and was sad to leave every morning and excited to head back in the evenings. It is about a 40 minute drive to the UofVic, but I knew that going in, and having stayed in Victoria the year before really wanted to explore other parts of the island. Pro tip: don't do any grocery shopping in Victoria, there's a beautiful grocer on the way and so many farm stalls. The cottage is a small studio that never feels small and Sammy the local seal is a treat to watch. Really, an unbelievable find.
