Immaculate tree top apartment

We have had 2 weeks touring around Vancouver Island and this was our last stop. Everything about the place has a relaxed and comfortable vibe with the added bonus of being spotlessly clean and equipped with absolutely everything you could need. This is a great location for exploring the area to the West of Victoria, but was also great for visiting Malahat and Shawnigan Lake, only 40 minutes away. It was the perfect place to round off the end of our holiday, thank you both

A wonderful hidden gem

When I booked this I was really influenced by a review that described it as a 'hidden gem'. The apartment is above the owners residence but access is totally separate. It is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We particularly liked the balcony which is high in the pine tree canopy and a wonderful place to just sit and read. It is indeed a hidden gem and one that we would return to if we ever had the opportunity. Amanda the owner was very helpful. The location of the apartment was perfect for us. On the day we went into Victoria we used the park and ride. On the other days we explored the coastline walks in East Sooke and the Juan de Fuca Trail.
