A gorgeous house with some wonderful history and fantastic hospitality. My partner and i stayed here in Victoria's low season and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We're sad we only had one night in the area, as we would've happily stayed for two or three. The sun room full of books and games was a fantastic place to relax, and has... More

My partner and myself had the opportunity to stay at the guest house for 10 days. Our stay was amazing, the owner left nothing out and it was the best place we have ever stayed for any of our vacations. I would highly recommend the Oak Bay Guest House to anyone staying in Victoria for any length of time. Service... More

The description of the Oak Bay Guest House is promising. We found it a nice hotel but not very cosy. We missed the kettle in the common area to make a fresh cup of tea. There was no kettle in the rooms either. The guesthouse is located near the centre and close to the harbour where we had diner in... More

Our party stayed here in mid December 2011 for a friends wedding. As our group of family and friends was quite large, we had rented the entire place, and that worked out fabulously for us. The staff were very welcoming! I commented the first evening that it felt like we were staying at a family member's place, rather than a... More

I highly recommend the Oak Bay Guest House as a place to stay if you're planning a trip to Victoria, B.C. The hospitality was so welcoming by the owner, Egly. She made our stay just delightful. The rooms were comfortable, the breakfasts very tasty and filling, and the general ambience so relaxing. There are ample areas to sit and read... More

I've stayed at a lot of B&Bs. Oak Bay Guest House has now claimed the top spot on my list. What a wonderful, quiet, delightful place. Egly and her staff have attended to every detail, providing for a really exceptional experience. Thank you, Egly! I will be spreading the word whenever and wherever I can. And I look forward to...

This was our third stay and it won't be our last. The rooms are cozy and tastefully decorated, a great place to come home to after a day exploring Victoria. The breakfasts are delicious, the menu changes every day and there is plenty of choice. Overall, always a wonderful experience. Keep up the good work Egle and Derek. Danny50 More

My sister and I shared the Cottage room on a recent visit. The room was decorated in a lovely rose and green and the beds were delightfully comfortable. We checked in early in the afternoon and took a quick peak at the room before we went out. On arriving back we discovered that we had no had towels or tissues... More

Another reviewer said she felt like it was like her grandmother's home. I agree if your grandmother had lovely furniture and beautiful fireplaces. Another reviewer said that the breakfasts were always eggs benedict/florentine - but that is the Sunday morning breakfast only. I wasn't there on Sunday but I wish I had been since those are my #1 favorite breakfasts.... More
