About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Idyllic Hideaway for Two ...or one!

Relax in this peaceful, self contained and beautiful loft style house, or unwind in the private garden after a full day of exploring Victoria. Ideally located a the mouth of Portage Inlet and Colquitz river with direct routes to all major attractions, shopping and the beautiful Victoria inner harbour. Bring or rent bikes to take advantage of the Galloping Goose Trail less than five minutes away. Enjoy morning coffee in the sunny courtyard or a glass of wine at the end of the day. Host resides on the property for added support but guest are completely separate and private.

What an Amazing place!
Thank you Callayna for sharing your beautiful apartment and gardens with us. We came from Tacoma on the ferry for 6 lovely days. Staying at Callayna’s was so lovely: perfect location right off the highway with a master garden and trees surrounding the quiet property. The space was great for the two of us with easy driving into Victoria and around Vancouver Island! Lovely conversations too! A ‘not to miss’ vacation home away from home.

Amazing place, awesome host
This is an amazing natural oasis not far from downtown. Callayna was such a great host, and was so so so sweet to our apprehensive pup. The place is beautifully decorated and well-appointed. Overall a calming retreat. We will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful oasis just outside of Victoria
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Callayna was a very welcoming host. The property is exactly as listed and shown and it exceeded our expectations. Beautiful garden and grounds for our dog to explore and very close to urban hiking trails for us. Loved the location and relaxing vibe. Thank you Callayna… we will be back.

Wonderful rental on large forested property
The rental was well-appointed with great art and access to a beautiful garden patio (even nice in winter)- would love to see it in spring and summer. The remainder of the 2 acre lot is mostly forested which reduces almost all of the noise from the nearby freeway (no noise noticeable inside). The host was very gracious and extremely kind to our shy dog. Easy to drive to locations throughout Victoria. Fun get-away!

Home away from home!
I can thank Callayna enough for a wonderful stay in her exceptionally beautiful little house, taste- and artfully decorated, extremely well equipped kitchen, bath etc. - for me it was the perfect home away from home. Callayna is a very kind, helpful and uncomplicated host. Was always available and accommodating when needed but also respectful of her guest's privacy. I enjoyed this place for nearly a month and would come back in a heartbeat. Last thing that definitely needs mentioning, is the beautifully kept wildlife style garden. Even though the property isn't far from a Highway, its location and the big garden around, protects the place from all traffic noise. While having my coffee in the morning, I often could observe hummingbirds and other birds having their morning water sip right in front of the big window :) Hope to visit you again some time in 2023!
