We had the perfect stay at the cottage in Metchosin.
It had everything we needed and more. It was tastefully decorated, well maintained, and made for a very comfortable vacation. The property was beautiful, with great views and tall trees. One morning we even had a visit right out front from a deer and her fawn.
The hosts were incredibly accommodating, and communicated well with us before and during our stay to ensure everything went smoothly. The cottage was child-friendly, and included all the amenities needed for us and our toddler.
It was a well-balanced location between Victoria and other destinations. A few of our favourite close excursions included the tide pools at Witty’s beach (look up tide charts online), the food at My Chosen Cafe (and the petting zoo), and a walk along the Coburg peninsula. We also enjoyed the hike to Mystic Beach, eating at Red Fish Blue Fish in the Victoria harbour, as well as many other adventures.
Our stay was great, and we hope one day to return for more. We highly recommend this as the perfect place to enjoy all the island has to offer.
