The property is so close to the Galloping Goose Trail and Lochside Trails and Anthony provided us with secure bike storage when we weren’t using our bikes. The accommodation was very comfortable.

Cute and convenient house for a weekend gate away
My partner, in-laws, pup and I stayed three day at Anthony’s place. He has taken the time to answer all our questions and help. The property is close to convenience stores and nice parks. Garden is fully fenced so our pup had the opportunity to run around. We had a good time and would come back again.

The house was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The area around is safe and quiet. I do wish I was given the arrival information from the host/manager a bit earlier than the day of visit. Also, I was planning to have BBQ during the stay but the grill was not available. It would be reasonable to remove it from the amenities. Lastly, there was a large wasp nest in the backyard that limited the use of the area. In general, my family has a good time on the visit but some improvement can make it better.

The house is clean and basic. The manager is very kind. Bring your own body wash and shampoo/conditioner as they have only kid’s 2 in 1 (body/hair) and also laundry detergent if you are considering doing any washing.

10 Day stay with 2 cats
I needed a place to stay until the sale closed on my home, Roxies Retreat was THE answer to my problem. It's very clean and homey, also comfortable enough that your well behaved pets will also feel at home. It was sparkling clean and Anthony is very available should you need help.

We loved our stay here. We come up twice a year to see family. This was the best place we have stayed. Anthony is right across the street and very friendly and helpful. The house was well stocked, kitchen had some pantry staples that came in handy. If you have a disability or need to know… there is two small steps to get in the front door but otherwise is really accessible the bathroom has a bar in the shower for support. Beds are comfortable just know the third bed is a pull out couch but in its own room. We will stay here again! Especially in summer when we can use the beautiful big back yard.

Lovely small bungalow in a great location in Victoria. You need to have a car, though. Clean through-out. More wine glasses would have been nice but that is nit-picking. Anthony came to greet us which was nice. Would stay again.

This property provided our family with a homelike experience. All of the amenities were as described and very well supplied. The layout of the home was comfortable and the quality of workmanship in the renovation was top shelf. The location to various shopping centres and downtown Victoria made for easy access to everything that we were hoping to experience. We would definitely recommend this property to others.
