My husband and I were in Victoria for the weekend. We were looking for a quiet, affordable place in a residential neighborhood that would be near downtown but not in downtown. We found just what we were looking for at Stephanie and Rene's garden cottage. It was the perfect place for two. The cottage comes nicely furnished with a Murphy bed, sitting area in the living room, nice kitchen and bathroom.
Just out the front door is a beautiful garden. Stephanie and Rene have a nice sitting area and we spent two afternoons and evenings enjoying their lovely garden. Although we came with a car we opted to walk to nearby Oak Bay Village one evening for dinner. It's a short 15-minute walk through a beautiful historic neighborhood to pubs, restaurants, and grocery stores. A mere two block walk takes you directly to the beach.
