Known as “The Garden City”, Victoria has swiftly become Canada’s most desirable city to live in and has even been ranked as the 2nd best small city in the world by international travel magazine. A vibrant mix of culture, attractions, eateries and one of the most convenient and accessible cities to explore in the country. Surrounded by coastline, there’s a range of fabulous beaches to visit and numerous parks to relax in on a Sunday afternoon. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a shopaholic or a full-on foodie, Victoria will be sure to surpass your expectations. Our unit is in the heart of the action, and so everything is conveniently within walking distance, with easy-to-use public transport allowing you to travel to anywhere just out of reach on foot!
Local attractions / tourist hotspots:
Visit the oldest Chinatown in Canada, take a water taxi over to the ever-colourful Fisherman’s Wharf, or pop down to the harbour for a local whale watching tour - our downtown location is the key to it all! For those rainy days (which even Victoria is not completely immune from!) indoor fun can be found within easy reach. Enjoy frightful fun playing haunted mini golf, scratch your cultural itch at The Royal BC Museum, or taking a historical tour of The Legislative Assembly Building. There’s plenty to do, and options for everyone!
Parks / nature:
We all get a little tired of city living every now and again, which is why it’s so wonderful having so many parks and nature spots within easy reach. Pop over the Johnston Street Bridge to enjoy a sunset stroll along the Songhees walkway, or head over to Beacon Hill Park for some stress-free yoga. On summer evenings grab a picnic blanket and take in a live music concert from within the park! For the more active among us, make sure to take a cycling trip down the Galloping Goose Trail or rent a paddleboard and work your way up the gorge waterway!
Restaurants / Pubs:
Downtown Victoria is a dream for foodies, with so many fantastic restaurants, pubs, and cafes all accessible from our prime location. For evening meals make sure to check out I'l Terrazzo for your evening meal, or the likes of Café Mexico for a fun-filled dining experience. On warm summer days get take-out from Noodle Box to eat down by the inner harbour, listening to the buskers play as the sun sets on our wonderful city! If you are anything like us, and need your morning coffee, cafes and coffee shops are certainly not in short supply – our personal favourites are Bean Around The World (for bold flavours) and Habit (for brighter flavours!).
Public transport:
All our vacation rentals are hand-picked for their superb downtown location, and everything you’ll need for a perfect stay is within walking distance. However, should you fancy a trip out to the likes of Willow Beach, The Teahouse at Abkhazi Garden, or Butchart Gardens then the cities public bus system is very efficient and easy to use. You can download the BC Transit bus app for easy route planning and ticket information. Alternatively, there are several reputable taxi companies located downtown.
