Victoria, ~BC~ - Fully Furnished-Self Contained Garden Suite

Update-July 22 2020-We are Open During Covid-19

We sincerely hope that you and your family are doing well and staying positive while we ride out this situation together-but apart.

On May 15th 2020, the BC Provincial Health Officer, began allowing British Columbians to enjoy some of the freedoms that we used to have, as long as we stay within the guidelines that have been implemented.

NOTE: We Have Covid-19 Protocols in Place:
Once you book your stay, we the property owners, will contact you through the VRBO or Home AWAY messenger system or by email and we will require you to complete a Covid-19 Declaration form, that will need to be signed by all parties staying in the suite. The form consists of basic health questions and your recent travel history.

If you are arriving from outside of Canada, you are required by law
to quarantine for 14 days. WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO STAY HERE THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO QUARANTINE.

We will accept non-BC residents as guests, as long as you meet the requirements on the Covid-19 Declaration and that upon arrival, you self-assess and confirm that your health is the same as it was on the date that you signed the Covid-19 Declaration. We reserve the right to decline visitors to our suite based on recent health and travel history.

We can assure you that on top of our usual diligent cleaning that Covid-19 Protocols have also been implemented to ensure you a clean and safe environment here at Waterloo Gardens.

You will be expected to adhere to the current Provincial COVID-19 restrictions as set out by our health officer and Premier.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter: Let’s be safe!!

Please note: We have ZERO tolerance for smoking. In fact, due to severe allergy, we do not even permit smokers to stay here. The entire suite and property are non-smoking-Thanks!

Our 500 square foot vacation rental suite features sleeping and sitting areas with modern furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and full en suite bathroom. Waterloo Garden is a self-catered accommodation, where you are free to set your own pace and make the most of your holiday.

Luxuriate over coffee, fresh scones and home made preserves while lingering on your private patio. Enjoy a glass of wine or herbal tea and curl up on the loves eat in the privacy of your own suite. Imagine no schedule or pre-set breakfast time. Sleep in if you dare. Whether you stay for a night, a weekend, a week, or a month, this beautiful, private garden suite contains everything you will need to ensure a fabulous and memorable stay.

Your hosts, Ron and Cathie, will welcome you with open arms, but there will be no need for awkward conversations and interactions. Your hosts will be available to offer recommendations on dining, attractions, shopping, and more, but you will have the suite and garden all to yourself.

Lovely apartment close to Uvic
Cathie’s apartment was perfect for our visit to Victoria. It’s very close to Uvic and just a short drive into the city. It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Our big living room window faced their gorgeous flower garden. We loved the breakfast items that Cathie provided (eggs, bread, juice, bananas) and we would definitely stay here again.

Had an awesome stay at Waterloo Garden. The suite is exceptional...clean, bright, cozy and comfortable. All the amenities you need and a few extras to ensure a comfortable stay. Cathie was tremendous at communicating with us prior to arriving, check in/out was super easy. She was also in touch with us during the stay to make sure things were good as the weather turned a bit nasty. We will be be staying here again next trip.

Was looking for a property that was clean, quiet, close to amenities and bus routes (as I was without a vehicle), and for a reasonable price. This unit did not disappoint! The location was perfect; on a quiet street, close to a bus stop, but had parking as well. Very clean, well maintained unit. Kitchen was fully stocked with cooking equipment, basic pantry items, and even an assortment of breakfast choices! It is quite obvious that a ton of care and thought was put in to the unit. Cathie, the host, is amazing! 10/10 would stay here again!
