My extended family stayed here for a reunion in mid-August(2014). We loved this place. It easily accommodated all 14 of us, and the house is very well appointed, with lots of dishes, pots, pans, a fantastic stove, plenty of towels, laundry machines, a swimming pool, hot tub, a lovely gazebo for when you need shade, and gorgeous gardens. Add to this the wonderful range of outdoor activities, such as kayaking, hiking and beach walks, plus the charming little town of Sidney close by and larger Victoria about 25 minutes away, and it’s a great place to have a long holiday. Louise and Bob are kind and helpful hosts, and they are right there on the premises in another house if you need anything. Highly recommended for a family reunion, wedding or any other occasion when a large group of people who are close to each other want to stay in the same place so they can cook and hang out together.
