This rental suite was amazing: spotlessly clean, fully equipped, quiet, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Our host Gerry, met us upon arrival and gave us a brief but thorough orientation to the unit. He noticed a small deficiency (no batteries in the remote control for the propane fireplace) and returned an hour later to install fresh batteries. He was welcoming and encouraged us not to hesitate to ask for anything to improve our stay. Gerry stocks the unit with spices, coffee, condiments and so many other things that make it an “above and beyond” experience.
Though the weather did not permit, we would have loved to enjoy the private outdoor patio space complete with lounge chairs and a fire table.
We had stayed in downtown Victoria in September 2021, but this time wanted a place closer to the family we were visiting. At this Swan Lake location the driving and parking situations were so much easier and we appreciated being near to the Pat Bay highway for simple access to the airport and BC ferries.
The 2.5 km nature trail around Swan Lake makes for a very pretty walk. Grocery stores and restaurants are a short drive away.
