Fine property. Fine location. Fine host.
The listing promised a lot, but this small, handsome cottage exceeded our expectations, and the private garden patio -- where we lunched, surrounded by flowers -- was icing on the cake.

Cute cottage
Diane's private garden retreat is in a great location. The one bedroom cottage has all the necessary amenities needed to cook and enjoy a delicious meal using local ingredients purchased at a nearby grocer. The private patio is super! And, always important, the bed was very comfy.

Excellent location
Property is in great neighborhood. Close proximity to downtown Victoria and Beacon Hill park. Very walkable. Host was very nice and left us brownies. Property was less private than we anticipated. In order to access the guest house, we had to go through the host’s shared backyard and the guest house was basically in the backyard. The clothes washer was also moldy, which gave the place a bit of a musty odor.

Serenity and Serendipity
Clean, quiet, 5 minutes on bike from the ferry dock. Lots of space for 2 including a lovely private patio we weren't expecting. Well stocked with coffee and other necessities. Host was as nice as anyone could possibly ever be in letting us store bikes/bags while we were out and about. As it turned out too, staying with Dianne and her house full of adventurers was also exactly right for providing us some advice, inspiration and wisdom during some big work/life changes. Which made this an amazing restorative getaway. We'll be back for sure!

Victoria stay
Diane has a unique residence/B&B. My husband and I throughly enjoyed being so close to historic Victoria. We were able to walk to both the tourist center as well as the neighborhood attractions like restaurants, parks and local coffeehouses and art galleries. One of the best parts for us is being able to pick up local seafood and cook it in our Garden Retreat! We are looking forward for a return trip.

What a gem!
Location, location, location! This wonderful little property was 1 1/2 blocks from the Parliament Buildings. There was easy access to everything downtown and waterfront. It was quiet, elegant, and comfortable. Diane was right on site, and available for questions. Off street parking was available. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the private garden was wonderful! We cannot speak highly enough of this property.

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.

Fabulous Garden Cottage
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the garden cottage. The cottage had everything we needed: king-sized bed, full kitchen, comfortable sitting area, and bathroom. The cottage was beautifully decorated and the appliances were like new. The cottage is within easy walking distance from downtown Victoria. We really appreciated the chocolate brownies upon arrival!
