We loved this guesthouse. Check-in was easy - they sent us a door code and we let ourselves in. The room and bathroom were large, the jetted tub was awesome, the bed was comfortable. It was very clean and a wonderful location. There is no bar fridge in the room, but we didn't need one. Highly recommend.

Lovely heritage suite with lovely period features. The bed was comfortable and we were provided with high quality, locally sourced soap, shampoo, lotion, coffee, and tea. We felt safe and at home here. It was clean and cozy. Parking was very convenient, right out the back door of our suite. The staff was very responsive and helpful too. We are definitely returning here in future!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unique house. Surprised it was one of the cheaper options in town, it was quaint, homey, and nostalgic, matching the vibe of Victoria! Loved the balcony off of room 5! The only issue was locating the house after dark as the driveway is small and concealed by bushes. A simple lit sign or address marker would've helped tremendously. Once we located it, access into the house and room was relatively easy.

Room has character, comfortanle bed/bedding, good towels, unique bath. Price was excellent for summer. Location was good. Check-in information was confusing, and unclear. Light flashed through the night. Steps into the place are iffy - need to be replaced. Parking limites and tricky I would book again if I had business in that area.
