Nice house in a quiet neighbourhood. Perfect for our extended family gathering. Lots of space, appliances great, hot tub very nice and nice views out towards Victoria.
We were a group of 8 gentlemen on a 4-day golf trip to Victoria, during our course in Vancouver, spring maintenance week.All were thoroughly impressed with the house, ammenities and views from the kitchen, patio and hot-tub.Would stay here again, in a heart beat.
Vancouver Island mountain biking and nature appreciation
Fantastic house for a large group. Comfortable, great neighborhood, and location. Theater room and hot tub were nice bonuses.
Would definitely stay there again.
The house was excellent for our needs. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The view was fantastic. With 6 people, we had lots of room to spread out. We all especially liked the hot tub
Overall we loved our stay. Some aspects of the house looked a bit rough around the edges for the type of listing (lights burnt out, minor drywall damage). Didn’t overall impact our stay. Loved the hot tub, especially with the northern lights!!
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful VRBO.. It.
was nestled up in the woods, where it was very quiet, and close enough to the stores and restaurants that we needed.. It was equipped with everything in the kitchen upstairs that we needed.. It had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everybody, a nice washer and dryer...... Thank you so very much .
We loved the location as it was only 20 minutes to Victoria and 20 minutes to Butchart Gardens. The house was tremendouse and the deer visiting the very morning and evening. I am going to miss my buck so much!! Also, it isn’t in the book, but Costco was just down the street and it is huge!!
Thank you so much for this great experience for my senior ladies! They had a beautiful time!
"It was a fantastic stay, with everything conveniently within a 15-minute reach. All ten of us enjoyed a comfortable stay with each person having their own bed. The hot tub was a great addition, although it could have been a bit cleaner. Nevertheless, this minor issue won't impact my overall rating. I would definitely choose to stay here again and highly recommend it. Thanks!"
A group of 8 senior golfers loved our stay at this property. It had a bedroom and bath for each couple and the views to Victoria were incredible. The kitchen had everything necessary and there were more than enough sitting/TV rooms that everyone could retreat if they wanted. The hot tub was a blessing after golf and the BBQ was clean and ready for our steaks.
The location was within 30 minutes of all the golf courses we played, 30 minutes to downtown Victoria and within 15 minutes for groceries and liquor.
There were only 3 issues that I would mention to the property manager:
1. the kitchen faucet is loose and needs to be repaired.
2. the lighting in the main bathroom is too dim and needs brighter bulbs.
3. we ran out of paper towels and there were no more on hand.
Overall, this property is a gem!
The property was lovely and the perfect setting for our family vacation. It was quiet, peaceful, and just a short hop to the city for our sightseeing activities! It was even larger and more beautiful than in the pictures.
Great stay - place was clean and perfect for what we needed. Hammad was very helpful and responsive. The biggest plus is how close it is to the boardwalk. You pretty much walk outside and you’re there. Huge win with multiple kids. Would definitely stay again!
There were 10 of us and the extra space to hang out worked out well. It was great for cooking and dinners at home. Good size deck for relaxing enjoying the view. There were a few things we suggested to the management company that could be improved. Overall we were happy with our stay.
Great spot. Well appointed. Loved to watch the big game in the theatre room. We loved the afternoon sun on the deck. Close to the Bear Run golf course.
Natures Gate is the perfect space for large families. It is very conveniently located to all of Victoria. There are great views, lots of wildlife and plenty of space to enjoy your vacation.
Beautiful clean home that had everything we need. The view and the hot tub were amazing! The beds were also super comfy and the neighbourhood was very nice too. It fit all of our friends comfortably. Would definitely recommend a stay here!
Property was perfect for group of 8 on a golf trip. No complaints, would stay here again or recommend if anyone was looking for a fantastic place in a great location.
Was a great spot for our buddies golf trip.
Close to courses, beautiful view, hot tub, seven beds.
The king master had to be shared but that was ok.
Very good.
The property was beautiful!!! Everything was over great it was just a bit far for a large group to get around (group of 8) lots of Ubers nothing within walking distance.. you definitely need a car..We did leave coffee and some condiments for the next group of people which is always nice to have in the fridge!!
