Great Thanksgiving Weekend
Great spot near the university to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter. It was great to use the fully stocked kitchen equipment to enjoy a turkey dinner and visit our daughter in her first year at the University. Place was very clean and nicely furnished.

Clean, quiet & roomy
Our stay was very pleasant because of the ease of “checking in” and all the conveniences there. Nice roomy 2 bedroom house with all the daily needs. Lots of pantry & toiletry items which was a wonderful surprise. Thanks Justin for the great accommodations that are reasonably priced in a quiet neighborhood. We would stay here again.

UVic Move-in
Perfect location near the University which was perfect as we were moving my child into residence at UVic
Received no email with check in instructions. Contact was not reachable by email and phone was disconnected which made me concerned. Multiple ppl with expedia and vrbo couldnt get ahold of him. All the sudden after many calls and being hung up on many times the information to get into house was on the reservation. Latsly you DO NOT GET THE WHOLE HOUSE to yourself!!! Host lives in the cottage and tenants are downstairs. Neither were in our way or disturbed us but would have been nice to know.
The house itself was very nice and roomie but would be nice if couch was a pullout. Host left a bottle of wine and there were spices and a kettle which we appreciated.

Great house
My family stayed here for 2 weeks for a wedding. They had a great stay. The house was in a great location for us and had all the amenities they needed.
Great property—very cozy. Second bedroom in the back needs a new mattress caves in the centre. Front bedroom no problem.

Brilliant area, accommodation & host!!! Just what was needed :)
We had a brilliant time at Justins, in Gordon Head! It was everything we were looking for, and more. My other half & I went for a couple of days and parents join for one or two days as well... Location was a great base to stay: Everything easily accessible by car, lots to do within walking distance as well a bus stop nearby and and affordable taxi to central Victoria. Accommodation itself was spacious, clean and comfortable and Justin was very lovely and helpful... Wish we could have stayed longer! We'd definitely stay again and highly recommend. Thank you so much :) xx

Home away from home in Victoria
Very comfortable dog friendly two bedroom on main floor of building with fully equipped kitchen, big screen TV and big decks front and back. Clean, roomy and well located in a quiet neighborhood near Mt Douglas park and beaches. Would definitely recommend for a Victoria family trip.
