Bernadette and Ben
Quiet, private room with own bath, kitchenette and outdoor sitting areas. Luxurious king-size bed and cozy indoor sitting area. A large cut flower garden surrounded by trees, with adjacent municipal park trail system in west coast rain forest. Minutes away from Victoria airport, Swartz Bay and Washington ferries, and Sidney. 20 km to Butchart Gardens, 30 km to Victoria. Continental breakfast in-room with well-stocked kitchenette. Close proximity to beaches, bike path network, and many restaurants. In-suite amenities include washer and dryer, and electric fireplace.
I am Bernadette and with my husband, Ben, I have been hosting since 2017, and from this new location since August 2019. I have been a flower farmer and organic mixed vegetable and fruit producer, selling at the local farm market and to florists in the area. We sold our farm in February and moved to this lovely home surrounded by trees and beautiful forest paths. I enjoy gardening, DIY and playing music. Ben is a retired high school English teacher who also loves playing music. We enjoy hosting guests who are looking for a relaxing and private getaway.
This is a rural-residential neighbourhood with lots of trees on a peninsula surrounded by west coast beaches, some with tide pools that are fun to explore. There is an extensive municipal trail network through established forests, near Horth Hill park. The Swartz Bay ferry terminal is only 3 km. away, and the airport is close too. The attractive seaside town of Sidney has lots of unique shops and restaurants. A little further afield is the world-famous Butchart Gardens (20 km. away) and the provincial capital city of Victoria (30 km. away), which boasts North America's second highest number of restaurants per capita (after San Francisco), and Canada's oldest Chinatown. Our extensive bike path network makes this area the cycling capital of Canada, with more cyclists per capita than any other city.
