Whole-Home Vacation Rental for 8, Victoria, B.C.

In all our years of staying at different Airbnbs, we have never come across a place as extraordinary as this one. Situated in the heart of a beautiful private forest, it is a serene and secluded paradise. Yet, all the local attractions and amenities remain easily accessible within a short drive. The home itself is remarkably beautiful and perfectly designed to bring the outdoors inside. There is something truly magical about this space that leaves you feeling inexplicably relaxed and at peace. Some of our favorite highlights included the supremely comfortable bedding, the pristine, modern furnishings, the well stocked kitchen, the excellent hot showers, and the dedicated yoga & wellness room. To top it all off, the hospitality was outstanding! Geoff and Tamara are some of the loveliest people we have ever met! They were genuinely warm, incredibly proactive and helpful, and gave us some excellent local recommendations. This place was therapeutic for our souls and we miss it already!

Forested, Clean & Comfortable

Wow to say we enjoyed our time here would be an understatement. Geoff and his wife went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Lovely home with lots of room while still feeling cozy. It was very private which is exactly what we were looking for! Lovely trails just outside to explore. They even gave us local recommendations on places to visit and go for something eat! Could not recommend this air bnb enough. Worth the money
