About this property

Private garden retreat with king size bed, full kitchen, private patio 00036281

The Garden Retreat is the perfect oasis in the city. We are within walking distance of everything you need from stores to restaurants to all the major attractions including the Royal BC Museum, Fishermans Wharf, Beacon Hill park and much much more.

This is a self check in with two private entrances and is ideal for short or longer stays.

\There is so much to do from renting bikes to strolling our waterfront or hanging out in Beacon Hill park for the day.

This is a one bedroom open concept cottage with a beautiful back private patio.

Inside your private cottage you will find a king size bed that is beyond comfortable with high quality linens, both plush and memory foam pillows as well as a soft cozy goose down duvet. The comfort continues with thick and fluffy towels and luxurious spa bathrobes.

The full sized kitchen comes equipped with a stove and oven, microwave, full sized fridge, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, and a vita mix blender upon request. Also provided, are dishes, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans and other essentials. Coffee, teas, creamers are also available .

There is a washer and dryer for your convenience.

We are steps from the Clipper and Coho ferry so perfect for leaving your car at home.

You can park your vehicle in the driveway and if possible pull in close to the fence and close to the gate as that way I can park my personal vehicle as well.

This private cottage is everything you could want for any season in Victoria!

This was the perfect home away from home. We enjoyed the proximity to everything (so central). It is an easy walk to everywhere we wanted to go and when we ventured further, the bus was so close. The cottage had everything and more than we needed. It was super comfy and cozy! Dianne is the perfect hostess - always checking in to ensure that all is well, giving us other activity options and just her overall welcoming spirit - we feel we have known her for years and we hope that will come true! -- Yvonne & Mike

Great Location in James Bay
The garden suite was perfect for my wife and I! During our stay, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted from this location which was extremely convenient. The suite had all the amenities we needed and it was nice and private. The front entrance of the unit is located inside of a shared backyard area but the suit itself has a nice private outdoor area attached at the back.

Fabulous cottage within walking distance of bay
Fabulous place to stay, everything you need, on a quiet residential street just a couple of blocks off the harbour and easy walking to multitude of places. Very straightforward check in with info provided several days in advance. Very comfortable bed and sofa and well provisioned kitchen and shower room. Own private garden space. Exactly what we wanted as a base for a couple of days to come and go from after touring round for 2 weeks. Don’t miss this gem of a place.
