Sobre a vizinhança
The city of Victoria is a 20 minute drive south from the house.
Beaver Lake and Elk Lake (15 minute walk from house): From our house you can walk through a neighbour’s field and along a path to Beaver Lake which has a sandy beach and good swimming. A path round both lakes takes 2 hrs to walk and is a very popular spot to run and ride horses.
Island View Beach (20 minute drive): Our favourite and closest ocean beach, it is quiet and sandy, has lots of driftwood, and is a good place to walk along the shore.
Rithet’s Bog (5 minute drive): This half hour walk around an area that contains the last peat bog on the peninsula is a great place for water fowl and bird watching.
Mount Douglas Park (10 minute drive): For the best view of the local area, drive or walk to the top of Mount Douglas. On a clear day you can get a spectacular 360-degree view of the peninsula, Victoria, and the Gulf Islands.
Sidney (25 minute drive): Sidney is a small seaside town further up the peninsula from Victoria. It is a nice place to walk around, look at shops and bookstores, and visit the Ocean Discovery Centre.
Aeroporto mais próximo: Victoria International Airport (YYJ)

Beautiful home and yard, centrally located with great access to downtown, airport, and the ferry. Excellent neighborhood. Paul and Mary did a phenomenal job of explaining everything you need to know about their home and the surrounding region. Bravo!
n/a I don't believe in answering this question. This is not booking.com!! Our exchange was great. And we've told our exchange partner that. It was a private interaction.

We live 20 minutes outside of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, on Canada's west coast. We are both retired — Paul was a family doctor, Mary was a graphic designer and is now a painter. We love music, theatre and the arts, as well as travelling, hiking and being outdoors.
