About this property
Stylish Garden Cottage w/Bunkie, fenced yard + off-leash dog park!
Discover the Garden Cottage, a self-contained haven of modern farmhouse charm. Nestled within a vibrant tapestry of flowers and flourishing vegetables. In summer, this enchanting retreat invites you to linger in the owner's bountiful garden, complete with a BBQ, hammock, and inviting dining tables. The air is alive with fragrant blooms, buzzing bees, and clucking chickens—a truly unforgettable sensory symphony. In winter, this comfortable self-contained retreat offers a cozy setting for indoor pursuits with an electric fireplace, books, games, and TV with cable and streaming services. The garden stays green year round and there is outdoor seating for mild days. Inside, the Garden Cottage boasts a beautiful navy kitchen with a farmhouse sink, quartz countertops, and a coffee & cocktail bar. The lovely bathroom features European tile, an extra-tall shower, and a vintage wall-mounted sink. Enjoy the convenience of in-suite laundry, a Westin Heavenly king bed (sleeps 2), and a TV. Just steps away, you'll find The Bunkie, once a humble garden shed, reimagined in 2024 as a cozy second bedroom. This bright space features a comfortable queen bed (sleeps 2) with built-in side tables, book nooks, and storage, plus a twin reading nook above. It also includes clothes storage, a mini-fridge, and a TV. Conveniently located for exploring Victoria, you'll find free parking for one car, easy transit access, and proximity to shops, restaurants, the University of Victoria, and Camosun College Lansdowne Campus. It's just a 6-minute drive to Cadboro Bay Beach and 15 minutes to downtown. Need more space? Combine this property with the adjacent rental “Family Cottage @ Horner Park” (sleeps 8) and open the doors to a shared courtyard space for outdoor dining and visiting under the wisteria. The Family Cottage offers three bedrooms with one king (sleeps 2) and 3 queen beds (sleeps 6) and 1.5 bathrooms.
