Howie & Karen were tremendous hosts and made my family and I feel extremely welcomed! They were even super cool with accomadating last minute changes to my booking. My two boys had a blast and they were surprised with an amazing breakfast the morning after! We enjoyed our time so much that we’re planning to re-book for next year around the same time! Thanks again!
Karey is a very personable host and if you are a dog lover she has 3 well mannered standard poodles; Wally, Tigre and Molly. If you like, Karey will call them into your room one at a time to meet you. The bed was comfortable, you have your choice of 3 breakfast items and ours was delicious. Unfortunately we only stayed one night, however , we plan to return to explore the surrounding beaches and walks.
The property was excellent, probably the best we have ever had the privilege to enjoy. The owners were detailed, thoughtful, and great communicators. The breakfast was delicious. An outstanding property.
Wally was an amazing greeter and Howie and Karey were wonderful hosts. Great property in amazing neighborhood - all new to us. And so close to the airport
Incredible host! The property is beautiful and we got to stay in the suite, which is huge and well appointed. The breakfast was delicious and even catered to special dietary needs. We look forward to returning in the future.
Hi,
We spent only one night here and I wish we had more time.Karen is a wonderful person. I found her super kind and nice. Her place is clean, beautiful and tranquil and there you will find whatever you need to have a great vacation in Victoria. She also made us a special breakfast which was super delicious and tasty. I highly recommend this place. I would like to express my gratitude to Karen for her kindness and the quality service she provided to us.
Nice and close to the airport. Wonderful breakfast. Owner is very caring and gives a lot of attention to details. Bed very comfortable. Nice rocky beach 5 minute walk from the cottage with seals close by.
Hosts were incredibly friendly, warm and receptive. Their dogs (hypoallergic poodles) were the cutest to play with and well-behaved. The room itself (Library Room) is cozy and rustic with more than enough things we needed. Some items like toothpaste are lacking but I'm sure that if you ask the hosts, you'll be able to get one anyway. Overall, the experience was incredible and I would recommend this place to everyone! Just note that the location is rather detached from most places and it gets pretty dark at night, so it'll be best to rent out a car if you're staying!
We had the most amazing time at Coles Bay Vacation Retreat! They are the most lovely couple who care so much about their guests experience. We arrived in the wee hours of the morning on a late flight and they were so accommodating, meeting us on the driveway to give us a tour of our place. They were also up in the morning preparing the most delicious breakfast of our choosing from a wonderful selection of menu items. They even catered to my gluten free needs! It was a quiet comfortable stay and was only a 6 minute drive from the airport!
I wonderful BNB, very close to the airport very close to the hiking trail and beach park. Made us a special breakfast to go since we had an early morning flight
Friendly and helpful proprietors. The room had everything we needed and more than was expected. Customized breakfast orders were taken and delivered to the room at the scheduled time. Breakfast food was generous, fresh and tasty.
The room was almost as fantastic as the hosts! Had such a brief but lovely stay here and would definitely come back. They make you feel right at home, the room is comfortable, clean, and has everything you'd need for an overnight trip. Highly recommend!
The hosts were very accommodating to our late arrival. They also provided an excellent breakfast in our room the next morning - my wife had a delicious omelette and I had the “Dutch Baby”, so good! We stayed in the Library Room, very comfy and cosy. Close to Victoria Airport. I highly recommend a night or romantic weekend here.
