GUEST ACCESS
The back of the property is very private from our living area and all yours to enjoy though you may see us from time to time gardening and playing in the front in passing and hear us on our deck above yours during the warmer months.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
This is a family home, we live above the suite with our 9 year old daughter and 14 year old super friendly black Lab, Guinness and you will hear us from time to time or run into us and our dog in the yard. We do lead a quiet lifestyle and spend a lot of time out of the house at work and at school though if you are seeking a completely silent accommodation this may not be the best fit for you.
While we are child-friendly accommodation, the suite is not "child-proof" so we don't have covers on plugs, child locks on cupboards or furniture secured to the walls.

Summary: Shena is a most welcoming Host and very willing to help answer any questions. She has great attention for detail and the suite is very well stocked, organized, exceptionally clean and cozy. It was most relaxing and the close proximity to the beautiful rainforest and walking trails was a highlight. The sauna, a rarity, is also well supplied. Overall a 10/10 experience and a gold standard for the hospitality sector. Thank you Shena for helping create a memorable experience for me. Patricia B.

Summary: We were thrilled with our stay at Forest Retreat and we will certainly be back whenever we need to be in Victoria. Shena had provided so many thoughtful touches around the place that were most useful and appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked with basics, including foil, parchment, and saran (which are often not available), and sharp food prep knives! (a rare occurrence indeed in our experience with staying in self-contained suites - the knives are usually too dull to cut anything). Loved that there were extra towels and tea towels on hand ... just in case. So many times I take these things myself (when driving to a destination), knowing that you can never count on having everything you need at the rented accommodation. Not so at Forest Retreat - definitely had everything we needed! Bed was super comfy. Back yard was a peaceful oasis. Shena and family (including Guinness!) were very friendly, considerate, and helpful. Communications, and indeed all the instructions and labels in the suite were excellent. We have already told our friends and neighbours up island about this wonderful place, which makes an ideal base for exploring Victoria, the Saanich Peninsula, or Sooke .... or a just a lovely quiet spot to stay when needing to be in Vic for whatever reason. We will be back for sure ... definitely tons to explore near there and many lovely hikes.
