Cathie's place was beautiful, it was the perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon! The garden in her backyard was lovely, we really enjoyed eating on her patio set each morning. Everything was immaculate inside and out, we had everything we needed. Cathie was so on top of communication and making sure we were as comfortable as possible. We will definitely stay here again when we stay in Victoria!

Such a great place for a peaceful, comfortable stay in Victoria. Our host, Cathie, was attentive but not intrusive. There were breakfast foods that she left for us which was not expected but greatly appreciated. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit.

A Gem in Victoria

The property was immaculately cleaned, well stocked and comfortable. The location in an East Saanich neighborhood was quiet and relaxing with a beautiful backyard patio.

Cozy and Quiet

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.

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.

A gem in Victoria!

Book this suite! From the impeccable design where the hosts have thought of everything to the glorious sunken garden and terrace just outside your door we felt so fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay here :) Sparkling clean, spacious modern design, and blooming camellias for the hummingbirds! Located on a quiet and beautiful residential street, but all that we hoped to see and do felt easily accessible. Thanks Cathie and Ron!
