Lots of room for our group of 6. Had everything we needed. Fantastic spaces both inside and out to mingle and chill. Awesome grounds, decks and docks. Really great privacy while having all the conveniences of stores and restaurants close by. Spotless. Rich welcomed us warmly and walked us through the property

We had a wonderful week at this location. The lake was lovely and it was nice to use the barge to go for a float. The host was very responsive to messages and very accommodating!

Very comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed the lake but didn't attempt the barge as days were rainy and windy. Owner very accommodating.

We recently stayed at this lakefront property for 5 days with a group of 5. The location is fantastic, offering beautiful views of the lake from the house and yard. The private dock and lake access make it easy to enjoy the water at any time. We only used the electric motor 'party barge' (which was very easy to use) and canoe a couple of times but if we had stayed longer with better weather, I am sure we would have used them more.
The property's proximity to Victoria’s attractions made our outings easy and we also made use of the nearby YMCA & walking paths.
Shopping and restaurants are within a couple of km of the house and it was very convenient to pop out and get groceries or whatever we needed.
Important points to note: The property is shared with other tenants in two attached suites, which didn't really affect our privacy, but we could hear the upstairs tenants at night.
The property is older and shows signs of needing some TLC.
Additionally, the house is currently on the real estate market (as of Aug 2024), and there was a scheduled showing during our stay. The owner was able to accommodate us and book the showing around our schedule.
Overall, the location, private dock, and lake access are the best features of this property.

Relaxing and private location. We enjoyed the lake view from patio and covered dock with party barge.
Owners were very helpful and gave us some great recommendations on places to see. Fans and portable air conditioner were supplied for the hot weather.
Comfy beds and cozy house.

We all loved our stay. It suited our needs perfectly- adults and teens. A wonderful end of summer treat for everyone in the family. The host couldn’t have been more gracious about showing us around, accommodating our needs- making us feel at home and welcome.

We had such a great stay at Waterlily lane! Richard and Peter are great hosts and went out of their way to ensure we had access to all the amenities and water toys. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, huge deck and clean and comfortable home. Our family had a blast and we hope to return next summer! Highly recommend and thanks again Richard and Peter.

This is a well laid out house and very clean. The dock has all the varieties of boats you could wish for. Both hosts also live in the house (over garage and below the house) so you see them daily -they are very respectful to give you space. Unfortunately one of the beaches on the lake was closed due to water quality but there’s another beach at the other end of the lake that was open and fantastic fun is had when anchoring off the bubbler.
The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating!

Richard and Peter's property was perfect for our family reunion. They even accommodated our family with an extra suite. We were celebrating graduations and birthdays. The floating barge indeed was a highlight of our trip. Our teenagers were delighted with the canoes and paddle boards. From their beautiful garden to their well equip kitchen - don't hesitate. Book this place for your next perfect getaway.

Looks exactly as it does in the photos! Charming lakefront property, with barge to tour the lake! Hosts were often on site staying at their units and were happy to help in any way they could. Would definitely stay here again!

Hosts are fantastic, location and to do things unparcelled. My only complaint would be that I was under the impression I had rented a whole home when indeed there were two tenants in the same home broken up into suites. Overall we had a great time and the Barge was a blast. Thank you Richard and Peter.

We travelled to Water Lily for a family holiday wanting to explore the area and spend time outdoors. Water Lily fit the bill as it is in a lovely location, very convenient to amenities and situated on Glen Lake. Richard was very helpful and met us at check in to help make us feel at home. The biggest disappointment was the non functional hot tub, as our family was looking forward to evenings relaxing outdoors. Richard tried to get it fixed, but to no avail.
Beds were very comfortable and the house met all our needs. The house was clean with a lived in feel.
Water Lily would be lovely in the summer when you can take advantage of all the fun things on the property. But, we still had a great time even in snowy February.

It has been a wonderful and a very relaxing week. We had women-only get-together as a group of 7 and spent each day enjoying the beautiful property, the land and the lake. The house is very cozy and clean with everything in it to make our stay comfortable. We had lunches on a huge deck that overlooks the lake, we used barge to float on a lake, used kayak. Bike trail nearby is really good, and we used bikes that are on a property to ride there. We also did other outdoor activities such as walking on a beach, hikes on a mountain,etc, all within 20-30 minutes from the house. The host was very attentive and helped us with lots of little things such as starting a fire in a firepit, getting a new pot for us, preparing the bikes, etc. We really recommend this property and would love to come back.

The property is in a great location and features a wonderful lake front where many water toys are available. The hosts were both incredibly friendly and helpful. Bedrooms were decent and comfortable. I'd say it's a bit less refined and organized compared to many other places I've stayed before. We also loved the fresh grapes and pears!
Our only compliant was that the hot tub was not functional and we were not informed prior to our booking. This was a big deal for us and pretty disappointing as we probably would've booked somewhere else if we had known.
This property would be best to book during sunny, hot days to fully enjoy the lake and all it offers.

We had a great one week stay at this property and really enjoyed it. The house and property is spacious and open. By far what we enjoyed the most was the barge/raft to cruise the lake. The kids enjoyed the kayak and paddleboards as well. Having the owners onsite was helpful and wasn't a bother at all, they're really friendly and helpful. We're hoping to come back again, possibly with another family next year.
Just a note, if you expect a pristine and modern home/property, this might not be the ideal place for you. If you're looking for a place that you can truly relax and not worry too much about things being worn/used, then you'll love this property. It's clear Langford is booming and we can see why! Lots to do in the area and no crowds like the city. We walked to Langford Lake (only a 10min walk), rode the Galloping Goose, explored Sooke Potholes and walked to Goldstream Falls (highly recommended). If you're there on a Sat evening, we suggest checking out Westshore Speedway for some racing, pretty unique experience and the kids loved it! We also spent a day in Victoria with the kids, checked out the Bug Zoo (great), Beacon Hill Park and the diner, raided some candy/chocolate shops and hoped on a short harbour boat ride. Honestly, you could easily spend 2 weeks in the area and not run out of things to do. Hopefully we're back next year and can enjoy it again!

My family (me, my wife, two kids and one of our daughter's friends) stayed here for five days in August. We had a perfect time at this really wonderful lakeside property. Everything we needed was there - canoe, kayaks, paddleboards, and the awesome party barge. The Tiki bar at the lakeside was a great place to hang out at night, and the home itself was clean and infinitely comfortable. The owners both were super kind, friendly and informative, as well. It was quiet at night, too. Really, just an awesome place for a family vacation. We already booked it again for next year.

Really enjoyed the lake and the house is good for a lots of guests. Tons of space and 4 separate sleeping areas. Lots of water fu toys. Especially the beagle/dock that the electric motor moves around the lake.

We enjoyed meeting Richard and spending time at his lake retreat. He has all the toys you could imagine - SUP, canoe, barge, fishing rods, horseshoes, games, fire pit and more!
