Angela and Frank's Garden Suite was perfect! It was exactly as described...but perhaps better. I arrived after a conference and was looking for a quite, peaceful place to write and relax. I was looking for privacy but also for inspiration. This place was perfect. From the moment I entered the peaceful and well-attended garden I knew I was in the right place. The unit had everything I needed for a week and more. The bed was super comfortable!

Maybe the best part though was the location. It's a 10 to 15 minute walk to Esquimalt Lagoon and it's beautiful beach - definitely worth the walk - but there are plenty of other ways to access the ocean that are less than 5 mins walk away. The property also backs onto a bird sanctuary and is a 2 min walk from the stunning grounds of Royal Roads University, where walking / running trails wind through beautiful stands of red and white cedar. The Coastal Collective Art Gallery is also a 2 min walk away with beautiful ocean views and a unique collection of art works by local artists. I dare you not to buy something!

This property is ideal if you have a car but I managed just fine without one. The bus stop is 10 mins away and a local bus took me right into Colwood for groceries, coffee, restaurants, etc. From there I could go into Victoria if I wanted or to bustling Langford, etc.

All in all, this was an excellent choice for me and I would definitely stay there again. Thanks Angela and Frank!
