We really enjoyed our stay at Shawnigan Hills. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The host provided homemade muffins and fresh fruit for breakfast, which we ate on the lovely patio. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and we all slept well at the place. There are quite a few things to do in the area around the bnb, and it's a great option for a relaxing stay. Hosts were friendly and quick to respond to any of our questions.

You can definitely hear the pitter patter of the hosts' pets walking around in their home above the guest suite. This wasn't an issue for me, and I was able to sleep well without it is bothering me, but very light sleepers or people very sensitive to noise might want to consider that it is a suite underneath someone's home.

The property was breathtaking surrounded by forest and beautiful views. The host was very kind and accommodating, greeted us when arrived and made sure we were comfortable. They offered fresh food from their garden and gave us tour of property. They also recommended great nearby activities and restaurants to eat at including a fabulous winery. They provided a delicious breakfast for us including amazing vegan blueberry pancakes. The room provided was very spacious with a great bathtub, 2 beds, a full kitchen, and BBQ to use outside. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel at home and their dogs were very friendly. Near the property in driving distance is the lake, a delicious bakery, and a cute town. I would stay here again next time I come to Victoria Island.

The suite was very well styled and the beds were very comfortable. The outside area was good to have. The fruit and snacks were very nice.

The temperature of the suite was controlled from upstairs which was not ideal. A little more information about how items worked would have been useful. We worked it out ourselves as communication wasn't great.

We absolutely loved our stay! Without a GPS, it was an adventure finding the place. But the hosts are wonderful, personable, and generous in sharing their patio and yard space! We loved the goats and chickens. Thank you for the goodies, your welcome, and good wishes at the end of our short stay.

I couldn't figure out the window blinds, but when I left it open, it was actually very pretty!

It was easy to find and the instructions were clear for how to get in and such. It was very nearby where we needed to go to attend the graduation, which was perfect for us. The welcome basket was very nice and the breakfast items were greatly appreciated.

The suite was very cold when we arrived. There were space heaters to use once we got inside, but it took a long time to take the chill out. The dog upstairs was a bit unexpected and it barked and woke us all up a couple of times.

Breakfast was okay. Should have left $5.00 and taken the dozen of fresh eggs that was in the refrigerator. You cannot get fresh eggs in a supermarket. We did get a bonus,--- Blueberry muffins, fresh baked and still warm that was left for us. The rooms were spacious and clean. In addtion, there was an outdoor, covered patio with furniture The hosts are very nice people.

A cement walkway where the gravel is to the gate would be better for guests that may have mobility issues.

Breakfast was self-serve in the suite but there was lots provided. Bread, small boxes of cereal and home made granola (which was delicious),eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt, milk and juice. And Nancy made fresh muffins, which were delicious. While we enjoy meeting people at breakfast in most b&b's making our own meant we could eat at any time and snack later if we wanted. It was nice to have a private patio space outside to enjoy the sunshine.

Room-darkening window coverings would have been great, especially with the early morning sun coming directly into the suite.

We really liked the place and would love to come back again. It was clean, quiet and had a huge backyard perfect for our little ones.. Nancy and Brad were beyond helpful. They were generous to provide fruits, goodies and some Easter treats for our little ones. They were quick to answer all our questions. Thanks again Nancy and Brad!

Nothing!!

Beautiful private setting, so peaceful and quiet. Huge apartment with lovely bedroom, sitting room and kitchen. Very friendly and helpful host. Lovely generous snacks and supplies for breakfast including eggs from their own hens. Fresh muffins for breakfast as well! We loved seeing the sheep, alpacas, henscand dogs as well.

The second bed is situated in the sitting room so not very private and the bathroom is off the kitchen so a trek across the apartment is required but compared to how lovely everything is this is very minor.

We enjoyed a great stay at Shawnigan Hills Guest Suite. The bed was very comfortable, the host was super helpful, and the animals, especially Pepper, were a big hit with our daughter. Good location to visit Victoria and other places nearby, in a much more tranquil environment.

If I had to nit-pick, perhaps some healthier breakfast cereal options would be appreciated.
