Wooded hideaway
This is a lovely cozy stand alone studio which was previously a painting studio renovated into an open concept one room (big) bedroom kitchen living room with separate bathroom with shower. There are lots of windows and skylights. It has a beautiful wood stove but unfortunately it was out of order during our stay. . The studio is 50 feet from the main house which is hardly visible because of the dense woods. Lovely area to walk. 5 min walk to the ocean. Highly recommend this place!

Great location
Nice property—good design of large studio cabin near Cadboro Bay. Good access to coffee/groceries. Great neighborhood for walking. However, for this nice a property, chipped plates and scant dishware seems inappropriate.

Lovely place to stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. Bright and spacious very comfortable and suited us perfectly. Nestled among the trees you feel like you’re away from everything, in reality you’re just 25 minutes from Victoria harbor. Our only problem and it was a small one was the spotty wifi Would stay here again

Hidden Gem in a pretty setting…
We had a lovely time staying at the Hidden Gem. We found the cottage comfortable, clean and very pretty! We also liked the Cadboro area very much. We walked the neighborhood everyday. There is a little mall close by with a great market, wine shop, pet store, restaurant. The beach/park is quite lovely too. We hope to visit the area again soon! Thank you!

Quaint cottage
The studio and furnishings were cute! The first night was super hot, once we fugured out the windows we did cool down. The lovely king bed was not comfortable at all though, neither were the pillows. The kitchen tap was annoying....second shower while doing dishes! All in all, we enjoyed it and would recommend to others with these little notes as a heads up. Thank you!

Saw a few deer and a very sweet dog. The place was beautiful and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy. Would stay again. Also THANK you for not having a booklet of checkout instructions like other places. It was super simple and reasonable.

A beautiful place to stay, perfect for a walk to the beach. It felt like I was in the middle of nowhere yet it is close to everything. If you want to experience Vancouver Island this is a great spot to have as home base.

A Gem
Beautifully located in a deeply wooded property. Very spacious, all one room (except the Bathroom!) great bed, wood-burning stove, lots of big windows with Roman blinds. Within 5 minutes of four restaurants and shops. Lovely walking places nearby, and close to U.Vic. Only downside is no stove and hence no real self-catering possible. There is a 2-burner hotplate, but few cooking utensils. Loved it, would return in a minute.
