Was in town for a soccer tournament and stayed at this cute little retreat. Easy check in and checkout. Great little neighborhood close to town. Nice place with a great garden area. Would stay here again if we are ever back in Victoria.

The listing promised a lot, but this small, handsome cottage exceeded our expectations, and the private garden patio -- where we lunched, surrounded by flowers -- was icing on the cake.

Diane's private garden retreat is in a great location. The one bedroom cottage has all the necessary amenities needed to cook and enjoy a delicious meal using local ingredients purchased at a nearby grocer. The private patio is super! And, always important, the bed was very comfy.

Stayed four days in probably the best possible location for visiting downtown Victoria. Two block walk to a clipper ferry was a nice bonus

I really enjoyed my getaway in the lovely Garden Suite with private patio. Diane was friendly and available. She provides so many extras that I felt right at home. Also you can't beat the central location!

We stay here every visit to Victoria and would not stay anywhere else. The cottage is very clean and just the right size for the two of us. It is also in a location in James Bay that makes everything convenient.

Diane has a unique residence/B&B. My husband and I throughly enjoyed being so close to historic Victoria. We were able to walk to both the tourist center as well as the neighborhood attractions like restaurants, parks and local coffeehouses and art galleries. One of the best parts for us is being able to pick up local seafood and cook it in our Garden Retreat! We are looking forward for a return trip.

Short walks to downtown, Fishman's Wharf and grocery/liquor stores. Suite has a very comfortable bed with a nice sitting area and a great private patio. Kitchen is modern and very well appointed. Neighbourhood is also quiet and there is lots of parking. Will definitely stay here again!

Great location. Private setup. The owners went out of their way to have helpful kitchen amenities (ex. coffee, butter, paper towels etc.). The flowers on the private patio were a nice touch. I would stay there again.

Nice comfy separate house and garden with dining/lounge. Location was within walking distance of all of the downtown sites. Good coffee and restaurants in the neighborhood.
Host was very helpful with directions and recommendations.
Highly recommend this rental!
