We recently stayed with our family and friends at Jason's house in Victoria for our son's wedding at Hatley Castle. The house was perfect for all of us. It was welcoming and from the moment we walked in, it felt like home. There was lots of room for our family and friends. The layout is perfect for entertaining in fact we hosted a bachelor's dinner party for a group of 20. The kitchen was well stocked. We were able to have enough dishes and serving utensils to have a lovely dinner of grilled salmon, roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes and a large green salad. The outdoor grill worked perfectly. The boys were able to smoke a celebratory cigar and drink some good scotch to take off the night chill on the back porch. The sunken family room (with a double pullout sofa) and powder room was very convenient for extra sleeping space and a bathroom spot. The bedrooms were comfortable and the beds were a relaxing spot to crash after a night of partying. The bathrooms worked great for all 10 of us the morning of the wedding.. The area is quiet and family oriented. There is a park around the corner and shopping a mere 2 minutes away. We watched a high school football game down the street and we enjoyed watching the bikers and walkers from the lovely picture windows. The house is perfectly situated, downtown Victoria is only 10-15 minutes away and the ferry about 25 minutes. Jason was a great host. He was responsive and welcoming from the first contact and was always there when needed. It was a magical stay and we had a great time sharing stories, laughs and tears. We had a lovely time and would hot hesitate to stay here again but for a different occasion. Thanks for your hospitality Jason!
