Standard campground rules for a facility of this size require six toilets and six washbasins. As you can guess, the toilets were foul and in constant use.

Prior to arrival, I wasn't sure what to expect, and thus had somewhat low expectations. I was VERY…read moresurprised by this pleasant campground. The campsites are kept very clean. The staff is friendly when you encounter them, and unintrusive the rest of the time. The toilets are outhouses, but have been built and decorated in such a way that you'd never know it was just a hole in the ground. And the outdoor shower was great, albeit cold (but exactly what that day needed). The trail that runs through the campground leads to a great park, which in turn leads to Ganges, and is a nice, quiet stroll. I would recommend this place to anyone staying on SSI, and not wanting to shell out for a B&B.

I'd probably seek something elsewhere next time, but it was a good first night in Canada.

It was also nice to talk to the people who walk their dogs down the trail. If you actually follow that trail over the bridge there is a "workout" area and some more beach front spots to relax at. Compared to other campgrounds we went to this one was very much appreciated. It was quiet, well priced, and beautiful. Be sure to bring everything that you need with you, as the nearest town is Duncan which is about a 18 minute drive. There are some areas nearby to pick up supplies but overall it's pretty hit or miss if you're shopping down the road. (We were alright with that though.)

The only downside if you're coming as a family ... is that you'll be spending hundreds of dollars for about two-three hours of activity (most of that time is spent waiting in two lines). Price aside though, the views are beautiful, it's not overly crowded, and everything does feel high quality. The treewalk is beautiful and the alternative return route feels like a gentle, quiet hike through nature. For those two lines, one is for the glass box at the top floor (purely a photo opp spot as you'd get better views outside of the box) and the second is for the slide down (FUN, terrifying to me, but a must). There was a food area including one airstream trailer that served floats and soft serve/ice cream (I forget what exactly) which was pretty fun and tasty. There's another airstream trailer at the entrance by the gift shop that sold coffee and other desserts (I think). Parking was easy. The drive to get here could be part of the adventure. I felt like the cost was worthwhile!

What a cool experience! It's a ferry that takes you to your destination when traveling around…read moreVictoria Harbour. You can totally see why it's needed just by looking at a map of the city. The harbor is divided into 4 active sections. The cruise ships dock at Ogden Point in the Outer Harbour. The water taxi services the Inner, Upper, and Middle Harbour. It's a great transport option that is more affordable than a standard taxi. There can be a wait time. You may want to book a water taxi ahead of time if you're traveling in a group. The boat can only take up to 12 passengers. Our BC Bites & Sights guide booked it in advance so there was only a 10 minute wait at the Fisherman's Wharf pick up point. We saw a couple of sights along the way. There was a great view of the seaplane port, and the Empress Hotel in the Inner Harbor. We also passed under the Johnson Street Bridge with its beautiful aqua blue lights. We arrived to our destination (Mermaid Wharf) in a matter of minutes. Yes, I know we could have walked to Chinatown. It was already part of the tour, so why not? It would have taken longer to walk, and it was a cold & windy day. Some people in our group said it felt like being near the Great Lakes. The wind around Shoal Point was brutal that evening. I'm sure it's much worse in the Winter. It was fun! I think this is considered to be a Top 10 attraction here, and not just a ferry service. They do offer tours of the Inner Harbour as well as the Gorge Waterway. The latter one would be great for wildlife enthusiasts. That's definitely a tour I'd like to take one day.

Such a delightful way to get around Victoria's waterfront…read more These adorable little ferries are such a fun and scenic way to get around. Whether you're hopping between docks or joining a guided tour, the experience feels personal and relaxed. Boats seat just 11-12 passengers, making it a cozy ride with front-row views of the harbor. Even if you're just catching a lift, one-way fares are available and super easy to pay. QR codes at the docks make it seamless, and for those who are old-school, tickets can be purchased from a few local businesses or directly from the captains onboard. We didn't have time to jump on one of their narrated tours through historic waterways and neighborhoods, but it's definitely on our list for next time.

The location suited us very nicely. There is a nice grocery store nearby as well as a few restaurants (some casual, some less casual) within walking distance. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully plated. The room itself was fun and cute. The decor felt cozy and a bit.... Classic? But bathroom facilities were updated. A large jacuzzi tub was a really nice feature - though we also had a lovely but tiny shower.... Try not to drop the soap because there's no room to bend over for it! As we find ourselves in Victoria a few times a year, we would definitely consider this b&b again in the future.

The strong coffee is a good jolt to get you out the door & enjoying the gorgeous city! Would highly recommend this place if you're staying in Victoria for a couple days.

The room was large with a balcony looking out to the lake, mini fridge and a wet bar area. The view on the balcony was lovely but the walls that separate your balcony to your neighbors do not go all the way down. Because we stayed at the lodge, our stay came with breakfast. It was a continental style breakfast with freshly made omelet and potatoes. It was pretty good but the wait can be long. I recommend getting in as soon as they open. The stars from the breakfast were the pancakes and their in-house made granola. They had a pancake maker which made perfect little pancakes. And their granola! So delicious. Full of nuts and fruit pieces. They won't tell you the recipe but you can buy per pound to take home. Around the resort, there were lawn games you could play. Bikes, canoes, and pedal boats to borrow. There was a children's activity area and a general store which were closed when we went.
