Many Victoria-area attractions are within a short drive away including the popular Butchart Gardens.

Enjoy a Sauna (infrared) after a day of touring. It has seating for 3.
A walkway takes you to a gazebo in the garden for meditation, quiet reading, coffee and smoke breaks, away from the main suite.

We are a pet friendly home and would expect that you clean up after your pup and not allow them on the furniture. Please leash your furry friend when leaving the unit. There are some great places to walk your dog, whether it is just around our neighborhood, or to the ocean at the government dock, or one of the trails or marinas in the area. Also fun for your pup is a popular off leash dog park (Cy Hampson Park) about a 10-minute drive away.

Nearby hiking trails and a duck pond trail are a joy to walk. We are within a short walking distance of a few marinas, one of which has a great pub and a cafe/fine dining restaurant.

The quaint seaside town of Sidney is just a 5 minute drive away. From there you can book whale watching tours, and kayak rentals. A Sidney Island Spit boat will take you to sandy beaches for your picnic lunch, purchased from one of the wonderful bakeries located here. The ocean pier walk about will take you to wonderful restaurants and Port Sidney to view boats and shopping! The summer months offer many activities from live concerts by the ocean to street markets.

The Army and Navy Club has popular live band music every Friday night, a large dance floor, pool tables and darts. Open to all. Truly the best place for fun.

Cycling is very popular here with a paved trail taking you from near FireThorn Manor to Sidney and beyond to experience island life. We are close to wineries, breweries, and even a gin distillery which are very popular.

The owner is a Clinical Esthetician and Diabetic Foot Specialist with a studio inside the manor above the suite should you require treatments.

If you require anything during your stay, we live upstairs and are a call or a text away.

We put a lot of time and effort to make the garden suite inviting and comfortable for your stay and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on what we could improve upon for your comfort. If something is lacking please let us know immediately.

A guest book is available for your comments. If you totally enjoyed your visit, please leave a review on the website.

Spacious home away from home with everything you would need for a short stay. The property is a short car drive away from the town of Sydney and Victoria airport but a short walk to a nearby pub with good food. If you enjoy cycling you can easily access the Lochside trail which will take you into Victoria. Thanks to great hosts for making us feel welcome upon our arrival.
