The cottage is really unique, spacious, and clean. We were able to use the canoe on the waterway and sit on the dockside chairs. The location is conveniently in between downtown Victoria and the Hatley Castle/Fisgard Lighthouse area. We took Mike's recommendations for restaurants and the food was delicious! The kitchen has a full-size stove/oven and fridge/freezer. There is laundry detergent available for the washing machine and various toiletries and cleaning supplies. Fast Wi-Fi and plenty of cable TV channels to choose from. Even washing dishes was relaxing since you have a view of the water!
