The guest rooms are located at Heritage House, two doors down from the Gastropub. The rooms were spacious and furnished with genuine antique oak furniture. Locks at the main door and the room made me feel very safe. One morning was bright and sunny, so I rewarded myself to a 4 km stroll along a paved trail along the harbour that was just off the doorstep of the Gastropub. Then I rewarded myself to one of Spinnaker's scrumptious breakfasts. Yum. Not only do they make beer, they produce spirits, coffee, truffles and countless other yummies. I want to go back some day when I can spend more time there.

Spinnakers was recommended and decided to give it a try, we knew it was an older Victorian reno/ B&B style property however: 1: The heat would not come on, it was 62 all night and we had set the thermostat to 70... it never came on 2: There was am electric fireplace and no suggestion of how to use it - until we checked out and then heard its a new "swipe" the face of the fireplace and it should come on.. 3: The antique Queen Size bed was lovely to look at, however, when you got into it, your feet were above your head, and we both ROLLED into the middle of it, all night long HOLDING ONTO our edge of the mattress to stay from piling on top of each other. 4: There is a kettle and no place to plug it in. So I plugged it in by the chair and it had to sit on the chair as the cord was so short. It's quaint—we expected that. There is free parking, which is a find in Victoria. However, sleeping there is exhausting. I would not recommend it if you want a restful night's sleep. We were attending an all-day event in Victoria and so needed a good bed to sleep on. Other hotels close by were about the same price, these were brand names and I know we would have been taken care of better than this. When I checked out I mentioned all these items to the young man at the counter, his comment - "no one has ever complained before" Not ok.

Definitely not your typical cookie-cutter hotel experience whereinwhich every room in every city looks exactly the same, except for the branding on the hotel stationary. Clean, comfortable, spacious room with a mix of vintage and antique furnishings appropriate to the late Victorian architecture. Mattress was extremely firm (I prefer soft) but the pillows are great.

Loved the heritage property. It was like going back in history. 140 year old building. The food at the pub was excellent and the beer flight and chocolates was a great touch. The bed in the suite could be improved as it sloped toward the middle. All in all we had a great time b

Charming older house in a very convenient location - 20 minutes walking from the harbor. Quiet nights, friendly and helpful staff. But, change frame and mattress NOW! Unfortunately, catching a good night's sleep is the most important part in a hotel stay. The bed was horrible. Squeaky, sunken on one side.

Loved the provisions shop and ease of dining. The food was delicious and beer was great. Bed was mostly very comfortable, although it lacked in motion isolation, so if you’re sharing a bed with someone who tosses and turns you may wish to take this into consideration. We stayed in room 5 and neither of us enjoyed the set up of the shower with the tub. Both of us had to tango with the shower curtains the whole time during our respective showering. Lack of screens on the windows means you can’t open them without mosquitos getting in. Overall, the space was quiet, with a cute private patio, indoor double seating, and comfy robes.

Great Location.
We were a bit surprised to find ourselvelves in a small room in a heritage house a few homes away from the Spinnakers Brewpub. The furnishings are Victorian with several rooms within the house. We were lucky to have very quiet guests beside us. There were big double doors into the bathroom that did not close properly for privacy if that is important to you. The location is fabulous, within walking distance to downtown.

My husband and I visited Spinnaker’s July 15-19 for a relaxing five days. Very impressed with the facilities as it offered privacy and options for dining. We especially enjoyed all the walking paths surrounding Spinnakers and the views which made daily commute enjoyable. Staff were friendly and accommodating with any questions we had. Only downside for us was the fact that the fan in our suite was rather small to make up for the lack of air conditioning. Spinnakers is located in a very quiet neighbourhood and we loved that, but if walking is your thing, you won’t be disappointed with the views. The water taxi is also a great option for getting to different locations as it is a short walk to the dock. When checking out, we asked if it could be done the evening before as we had to leave for the airport before the front desk opened, and we were able to do that. We appreciate that! Thank you to the staff for a wonderful visit. We look forward to another stay at your wonderful guesthouse!
