About this property

Luxury 2BR w/ Balcony Overlooking the Empress

  • Property Overview

    Experience the spectacular beauty of Victoria’s skyline from a premium waterfront vantage point. Situated in the highly prestigious Peninsula complex at 27 Songhees Road, Harbour View is an expansive 1,040-square-foot luxury condo designed for the ultimate executive stay. Offering an exceptional layout with deluxe furnishings and iconic, front-row vistas of the Fairmont Empress Hotel and Victoria Old Town, this elegant residence provides the perfect balance of downtown convenience and peaceful waterfront tranquility for a seamless 90+ day residence.

    The hallmark of Harbour View is its stunning atmosphere and impressive sense of space. Wake up to direct views of the legendary Empress Hotel right from your primary master suite, or step out onto your private balcony to sip your morning coffee while taking in the Inner Harbour scenery. Inside, you can relax in a meticulously curated living space featuring a cozy gas fireplace, a premium leather sofa that pulls out into a bed for extra guests, and dual reclining chairs paired with a 42-inch flat-screen TV and DVD player.

    The home features two full bedrooms and two full bathrooms designed for total comfort. The primary master suite includes a flat-screen TV, a full en-suite bathroom, and direct Empress views. The second bedroom offers exceptional flexibility with your choice of a premium King bed or two Twin beds with prior notice. Preparing meals is a pleasure in the fully equipped kitchen featuring sleek stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, microwave, and stove, complemented by a formal dining area for six and a lovely breakfast bistro set. The spa-style main bathroom features a beautiful double walk-in shower. For ultimate executive convenience, the suite includes high-speed Wi-Fi, a dedicated desk for remote work, central heating, a travel crib, and a private full-size laundry room.

    Beyond the walls of your private sanctuary, you are perfectly positioned directly along the pristine Songhees seawalk and the Galloping Goose Regional Trail system for walking, biking, or kayaking. Insulated from downtown street noise, you remain a mere 5-minute walk over the Johnson Street Bridge to the heart of Victoria’s Old Town, historic shopping, and culinary hotspots. Plus, with multiple units available within this prestigious complex, it serves as an ideal solution for large groups or corporate teams needing neighboring accommodations.

Wonderful pre-fall visit!

This property was exactly what we'd hoped for. Well situated for ease of exploration, well stocked kitchen for home meal prep, and easy access parking, as we brought our car. The unit is very quiet and relaxing, older but not dated.

Unique and scenic location in Victoria

This property is a well maintained property just a short 5-10 minute walk to downtown Victoria. The benefit of staying here was the view of the city and inner harbor. There is also a lovely walkway along the water by the apartment and it's very quiet and peaceful in the evening. Apartment is well maintained and questions or queries were answered promptly. Close to a great restaurant and bakery but other dining will be a walk into the downtown Victoria.

our Stay Victoria BC

property and unit are beautiful - clean and well equipped - describes as harbor view but very limited view - directions to unit were difficult to understand and need upgrading - (street to turn on in directions is blocked off for years) - signage of unit and parking garage could very useful in finding correct place, Property manager was contacted twice for help to get key and locate unit - very prompt and helpful to get us into unit

Great location, 5 star accomodations

Our family including our two girls 5 and 8 and my parents, stayed for 3 nights. Deidre made reserving the place quick and easy and answered questions via email in a very timely manner. The place was very clean, very quiet and decorated simple yet sophisticated. The Delta Hotel is next door so my husband and I enjoy a short date without having to leave the area. But the best thing that happened was when we realized the Final Four was not shown on the television package they had. We called Deidre and she immediately accommodated our request and we got to watch the game. We will for sure stay here again when in Victoria.

What you see is what you get!

This property was exactly as advertised. Clean,large and comfortable. Easy walk to main part of Victoria. Do not let the fact that the apartment is over the bridge stop you,from renting this apartment. Great walk-10 minutes to main part of town . Two things I would recommend 1. It is a pain in the butt to,have to, turn the key back to the lock box. Just let folks leave it at the apartment 2. It takes an engineer to work the TVs. Must be an easier way. All things considered do not hesitate to rent this very fine property.

Lovely condo that has everything you need

Loved the condo…the check-in utilizing a drop box was very convenient. Super close to the Delta Hotel so we were able to have some lovely meals. We liked that one could take a power walk or stroll along the harbor. Even better was the ability to take the water taxi and avoid driving! Will happily stay there again.

Perfect location

Stepping outside the building on to the Galloping Goose Trail for walking or cycling, having the Harbour view from your deck (& also from the master bedroom), being a few minutes to the harbour side walking trails, plus being a short walk away from city centre without the urban noise, all make for quite a perfect location to enjoy the Victoria harbour area. Having secure underground parking included was a definite plus as well.

Close to everything.

You can indeed see Victoria's Inner Harbor from the balcony and bedroom windows of this apartment on the 3ed floor of a large apartment building. It is right next door to the large Delta Ocean Pointe hotel and an easy walk across the Johnson Street Bridge with pedestrian paths well lit even at night and you are right downtown in Victoria. Nothing much more than 20 minutes walk away. Getting into the apartment is complex and I recommend you elect to be greeted and shown the ropes by a person, instead of "self check in" which involves a complicated set of combination locks several miles away from the apartment. It does work, but I would only recommend it for second time visits to this apartment. Once you understand it it works OK. Parking is also a bit complex, expecially for a second car if you share the apartment, but all in all it works. Everything else is fine for a great stay in Victoria. Just let them show you how to get in and out, as they offer to do.
