THE SUITE:
Located in a lovely country setting, 20 minutes from the airport and 15 minutes to downtown Victoria, this idyllic vacation invites you to relax out on your private deck, and enjoy the peace of a home away from home. Pamper yourself in the extra deep soaker tub, enjoy a movie on Netflix on the widescreen Smart TV, and dive into bed early after a great day of adventuring on the West Coast.
The Suite does not have cooking facilities per se (due to a local bylaw). It is, however, equipped with a 2 burner glass cook top, a bar sized fridge, toaster, coffee maker, electric tea kettle and of course, glasses, dishes, cutlery, and pots and pans for cooking in house if you would like.
The spacious Master bedroom, has a lovely king-sized bed and Smart TV, with cable or Netflix for late night viewing.
The Master bathroom has a deep soaker tub/shower, 2 separate sinks and fresh linens.
The Private deck/entry is great for sunbathing or enjoying a morning coffee, with a treetop view. There is a staircase with its own private entry.
The living room/kitchenette also has a double pull out couch for an additional 1-2 guests, and a single bed (Max 4 in the suite) NOTE: We can provide a pack and play crib if required.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
A 10 minute walk from the Treetop Suite is the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific, in the Glendale Gardens and Woodlands, with a beautiful spot for breakfast, called "Charlotte and the Quail", boasting fabulous, organic, local fare. We highly recommend you enjoy a walk to the gardens and tea at the Bistro during your stay. A great place for family photos!

Spend your days touring Centennial Square, Jazz Fest and the fabulous events of the summer season downtown Victoria. Take in all the street performers, talented local artists and incredible musicians on the world famous Inner Harbour and Government Street. Spend your evenings walking along the ocean at Dallas Road and stroll the breakwater to the picture perfect lighthouse, topping off the night with a beer and tappa at one of the amazing restaurants Victoria is famous for.

Saturdays, in the late afternoon and evening is a great day to plan to take in the stunning sights at the World Famous Butchart Gardens. Enjoy a dinner in the gardens and a fabulous fireworks display when the sun goes down, all summer long! (Fireworks July/August only) Bring a blanket to lay on under the stars! Coming in the winter?

Most of the beautiful beaches in the Greater Victoria area are a short 15-20 min drive away. Island View Beach, Cordova bay, Gyro park and Willows beach are the favourites, but there are many more to choose from! You can also enjoy a beautiful 10km walk around Elk and Beaver Lake, a 5 minute drive away, and Durrance Lake is a great (local favourite) for a dip in the summertime! Make sure you stop in at the Red Barn Market for some Island Farms Ice cream on your way to the lake!
There are also beautiful walking trails up the road, and right across the street as well as the lovely Horticultural Center of the Pacific for a small fare.
