Joanne's place was an incredible gem! Even prettier than the pictures, the suite is in a forest-like setting on a large property with a stunning garden - very peaceful. We loved watching the deer and their fawns every morning. You feel a world away, yet all the conveniences of grocery/takeout are just a short drive (5 minutes). It is perfectly located for exploring the gorgeous west side beaches and nature hikes, as well as going into Victoria. Joanne's place is impeccably clean, stylish, well-furnished and comfortable - has everything you need. She is a wonderful host and her and her husband had great suggestions, local tips and insider knowledge that we found most helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again!
