Food scene

Easy walking distance from the suite. A historic neighbourhood pub with a separate family dining section and a brewery where you can pick up some great beer to bring back home!

Extremely popular bakery which is en route to downtown from the house. There is often a lineup but it’s worth the wait! Try the “Breakfast in Bed” pastry, complete with a fried egg on top!

This sweet little boutique shop was born out of the pandemic as a place for local artisans to sell their products when they weren’t allowed to participate in farmers markets and Christmas craft fairs. What started as a seasonal popup shop has expanded into 2 full time locations (one downtown in the Bay Centre and one in Matticks Farm in Cordova Bay). Every single item sold in their stores is hand made in Canada- most of it right here in Victoria. Matticks Farm is also a great place to ride a bike to (along the Lochside Trail bike route) and also features mini golf, the red barn market, a cafe, golf course and more!

Sightseeing

A lovely nearby lake which offers easy hiking all year round. The lake loops are 2.5 or 4.5km around and fun to explore on your own or with you family. It’s also great for swimming!

Beautiful beach for a long walk. Popular for picnics, beach days and rock hunting! There are often food trucks parked there on the weekends and special events with music.
