I’ve stayed at Cole’s bay twice now and found it just perfect for me.
The owners are wonderful people that always make me feel welcomed.
The breakfast is always great too!
This Retreat is absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world. The owners go out of their way to make your stay the best ever and will provide you with all the comforts. Make Coles Bay your only choice when visiting in this area.
We received a very warm welcome. Room was great, bed super comfortable and they even baked us fresh muffins to take with us because we were leaving before breakfast. Highly recommend :)
The property was excellent, probably the best we have ever had the privilege to enjoy. The owners were detailed, thoughtful, and great communicators. The breakfast was delicious. An outstanding property.
I wonderful BNB, very close to the airport very close to the hiking trail and beach park. Made us a special breakfast to go since we had an early morning flight
The room was so very comfortable. All the amenities we needed were provided; a microwave, toaster, kettle, small fridge... and our host was so welcoming! The location is beautiful, quiet, and close to the Butchart Gardens. There's lovely dogs on the property if you want to meet them (which we of course did!); we are sorry that we only had one night in our schedule to stay.
Oh it was lovely thank you so much to our hosts. Thoroughly recommend the walk down to the cove (walk down inverness road and follow path downhill) to see the seals. No problems and excellent value for money. I'd say, grab it if it's available for your dates.
Howie & Karen were tremendous hosts and made my family and I feel extremely welcomed! They were even super cool with accomadating last minute changes to my booking. My two boys had a blast and they were surprised with an amazing breakfast the morning after! We enjoyed our time so much that we’re planning to re-book for next year around the same time! Thanks again!
Very hospitable owner. Went our of her way to make us feel comfortable. We had to leave early and would have had to miss the breakfast, but she made us up an excellent "meal in a bag" to take with us. Great place!!
Karey is a very personable host and if you are a dog lover she has 3 well mannered standard poodles; Wally, Tigre and Molly. If you like, Karey will call them into your room one at a time to meet you. The bed was comfortable, you have your choice of 3 breakfast items and ours was delicious. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, however , we plan to return to explore the surrounding beaches and walks.
The property was close to the airport, friendly greeting by the host, explained everything to us in detail, the bed & sheets were very comfortable and the breakfast selection and quality was terrific- nice couple
The room was almost as fantastic as the hosts! Had such a brief but lovely stay here and would definitely come back. They make you feel right at home, the room is comfortable, clean, and has everything you'd need for an overnight trip. Highly recommend!
Friendly and helpful proprietors. The room had everything we needed and more than was expected. Customized breakfast orders were taken and delivered to the room at the scheduled time. Breakfast food was generous, fresh and tasty.
