Great spot for visiting Brentwood College School
Had a lovely weekend - close to Brentwood and Mill Bay Centre. Walkable to Serious Coffee. Lovely, private suite - gorgeous backyard and hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Great communication with the owner - very responsive to any requests while we were there. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

A hidden Gem
I recently stayed at this hidden gem in Mill Bay, and I can't say enough about how lovely it was! The property is absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous garden that feels like a little slice of paradise. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the cozy interior to the beautiful outdoor spaces—it was the perfect retreat. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I left feeling refreshed and so grateful for such a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to return!

Excellent choice for Victoria
We went to Victoria for our anniversary. Everything was perfect. Dwight was an amazing host and gave us exceptional care. He greeted us when we arrived and was very friendly and easy to talk to. The space was larger and nicer than expected for the price we paid. Dwight did an amazing job on this space. We used the hot tub after a long day in Victoria and it was a perfect end to the night to sit back and relax and enjoy our time. We had a few questions about the hot tub and Dwight was instantly available to show us how to work it. Check in and check out was easy. Place was very clean and very nice. I would stay there again on my next trip to Victoria.
