A lovely get away!

We love staying at Heron View Cottage. I travel with my elderly mother and everything is easily accessible for her. It is clean and the location makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. It is convenient for the Butchart Gardens and downtown Victoria is also easy to get to. Jim is a lovely host.

January 2021 Stay

We came for a four night stay, and loved the home! It’s inviting, comfortable, has all the amenities we needed, plus lots of puzzles, books, games and cable TV for the rainy days. Extremely clean, beautifully updated and the view of the ocean is nice.

Meeting our new born grandson

We traveled to Sidney to visit our son’s family and our new grandson who was eight weeks old when we arrived.The house was amazing! Very comfortable! We were able to host dinner most evenings and enjoy the company of family and friends. The location was about a mile from downtown, quiet, and welcoming.We will be asking to reserve this house again for our next visit to Sidney. Highly recommend this house on dates we don’t reserve it…LOL!
