Touring Campus

My daughter and I came to visit the campus and we could not have asked for a better rental! The suite with its prime location, as well as the incredible hosts, Bryan and Heather, made our trip a memorable one. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway that is steps away from the campus.

Great stay in Victoria

We were in the city for a family gathering and celebration of life, and the suite offered a quiet, clean and comfortable space to relax. The garden is spectacular and a lovely place to sit with morning coffee. Bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Most of our time was spent with family who live near Gyro Beach so the location was ideal. Would recommend this suite. Enjoyed the stay and amenities.

Lovely Suite

Upon request our suite was available a few hours earlier, which was nice after arriving early morning to Victoria. The kitchen had all the amenities needed for cooking. Hosts had coffee, cream, fruit, scones and chocolates. Great proximity to UVic, groceries and bus routes. Will stay again

A very clean, comfortable and well-designed space with nice decorative touches. Lots of amenities and a well-stocked fridge including fresh scones! The host was very kind and helpful. We unexpectedly needed to extend our stay in Victoria and the host was able to accommodate us, which was much appreciated. Thank you again! Have already recommended it to others.

Our stay at Suite Escape was very comfortable and the host Heather was really friendly and helpful.

The suite was fully equipped and the host was very attentive, while also respecting our privacy. The bed was comfy. Everything was very clean and fresh. The fridge was stocked with coffee, milk, cream and water and there were tasty scones and fresh fruit awaiting us. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we might need to make meals including a dishwasher. This is a perfect home-base for visiting Victoria.

Gardens galore

Communication with our hosts Bryan and Heather was very good. Any questions we had they were prompt in their responses. The property was exactly as we saw in the photos. Their yard was beautiful. Bed very comfortable, fully equipped kitchen … we never used the TV we are in Victoria outside all the time. Their yard was gorgeous for eating outside while we were there. Lovely new shower features. We will look forward to staying here again if we are so fortunate to find it is available. Thank you for a lovely stay and we wish you all the best Bryan and Heather

Weekend stay in Victoria

Our hosts were easy to communicate with, the suite was immaculate and in a lovely location near U Vic. The kitchenette setup was perfect for our needs. The hosts even provided a few extra fridge items - cream, milk and yogurt as well as a basket of fruit, A special touch was the 2 fresh blueberry scones. The keyless entry system was easy to use and the suite was more than adequate for 2 people. If back in Victoria we would book again.

Perfect place to stay if you are looking for close to uvic

This property was very clean. We enjoyed a close 10 min. proximity to campus. Communication with owners was easy and they were very accessible. Everything we needed for a small kitchen was there, as well as a few extra items for a classy touch. The lock system was set up great! If we came back we'd definitely stay here again. This works perfect for 2 people. Beautiful location and well maintained.
