My husband and I had planned on staying here as part of our honeymoon in BC but changed our minds when we arrived at the property. Though the staff was very kind and understanding to us and the location itself is more of a very low 3 star hotel, I felt that other honeymooners should be aware of a few things before booking.
First, the property does not advertise that it is a private home or even a bed and breakfast on their website. That was not going to work for us as we had large bags to carry to our room which was not accessible unless we walked through the entire house to get to.
Second, the room was nice but did not have any views unless you walked outside to the patio in front of it and to be honest, it smelled a little moldy in there more than likely because of the hot tub and the sauna located in the room itself.
Third, the parking was not convenient at all. You can't really back out of there unless there are no other cars in the lot itself and the driveway is extremely narrow.
Fourth, the location itself is very nice on top of a hill surrounded by other homes but it is still at least a 20 minute drive to the downtown area which you can easily get around walking.
If you're going to Victoria, I suggest you stay at the Marriott Inner Harbour or any other hotel close to downtown. We ended up there instead and it was wonderful, clean, and convenient!
