Lovely property - very clean and well-supplied with all you need during your stay. Lovely garden surroundings and a friendly cat! Easy check-in/out procedure with all details given by host. Host was very approachable, though we did not need to make contact during our stay. Parking was available at the house and it was an easy drive to Victoria and surrounding attractions.The upstairs twin room was fine for us as our party were all fit and over 18 - the ladder was quite steep which might be a concern for anyone with mobility issues or for young children.

The accommodation is modern and clean. It's a long drive into Victoria from this accommodation, but the accommodation itself is immaculate and well equipped. The property would be stretched to accommodate 6 people and the loft area is possibly suitable for teenagers but not for young children. The roof height in the loft is limited so the space felt cramped. There is no storage space for clothes in the loft, not even a chair. The ground floor space is well laid out and comfortable.

Hidden gem
This property was an amazing ADU-clean, modern and well stocked. Although the location looks like its a bit outside of Victoria, its close enough to be accessible for day trips, yet far enough away to give you a break from the "city". A short walk to the beach was one of our favorite late afternoon activities. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to others.
