Visited Victoria during Fourth of July weekend with my girlfriend. Gwen's cottage was absolutely prefect for our needs. It's just far away enough from downtown to be away from the noise and have a real sense of privacy, yet you can reach all the major points of interest in the greater Victoria, well within 10-30 minutes drive (or bike if you're up for it.) The cottage itself is cozy, not cramped, and we felt at home. The bed was very comfortable, (and could be folded back if we needed more space,) and the kitchen was fully equipped also, which was great since we wanted to spend a few nights at home and relax. Would definitely recommend Gwen and Barry's place to anyone looking to visit the Island. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Gwen!
