RRU Reviews

" As a student, I really appreciated the peaceful setting at Birds of a Feather. The view is lovely and I felt very relaxed and comfortable during my stay. The beautiful walk through the forest to Royal Roads is also a wonderful way to clear your head before a busy day! "

" I am sitting here enjoying the peace and tranquility of this beautiful B&B. The weather has been perfect and the scenery spectacular. Thank you for your excellent suggestions of places to see and activities to enjoy. We need to come back for the R&R, but there is aslo so mouch more to see and do. Our morning discussions were fascinating and it was wonderful to see my Randy relax. "

" I stayed at Birds of a Feather for three weeks in October 2011 while on a residency period at RRU.  It's both beautiful and comfortable, and I would highly recommend it to others.  I very much appreciated that the owners, Dieter and Ashley, really went the extra mile in hosting us. "

" Thank you for an amazing holiday in Victoria. Whale watching on your zodiac was the highlight of our time here on the west coast and we couldn't have stayed at a more idilic location. Your warm hospitality and delightful breakfasts will be fondly remembered. We will certainly be back to visit you, Taco and your beautiful cat Mac. "

" Thank you so much for the lovely time. The room and view were fabulous and we quite enjoyed watching the many different birds swimming around the docks. We would not hesitate to recommend your B&B to friends and family looking for Victoria lodging. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. "

" Dear Dieter and Ashley, Thank-you both so very much for such a lovely and relaxing time at Birds of a Feather. My time spent here I will truly treasure. Hately Castle and the Fisgard Lighthouse are a must see. Just beautiful, I took lots of pictures. My favourite was conoing in the lagoon alongside the fantastic widlife. Truly amazing!!! So much interesting storytelling and meeting fantastic people along the way. Amazing and delicious breakfast that ruly gave us a great start to our days adventure. I will definitely reccommend this B&B to all. Thanks again for everything! "

" This place is magical!! I loved eveything from the wildlife and the scenery to the full moon that took my breath away!! Thank you to Dieter and Ashley for creating this wonderful haven for the soul. Your efforts are not soon forgotten. You are the prefect hosts!! Thank you to Mac (the greeter) and Taco (the sweetie). They were so lovely to see each day. I take with me lots of memories of Hately Castle, Fort Rodd Hill & the Fisgard Lighthouse, canoeing on the lagoon and time on the dock (AKA the S.S. Big Bird) Lots of fun, I will be back!! "

" Such a gorgeous place! This is destination #2 of our whirlwind honeymoon tour of British Columbia, and it's been so much more that we could ever have asked for! It's been wonderful to just sit on the balcony, watch the geese and the water and relax. This has been a much-needed break from life, and will definitely be returning in the future! - Absolutely perfect! This is a very special place you have here, and we are looking forward to returning! "

" Three nights was just not enough in the Honeymoon Suite- Married 40 years on the 3rd! So glad we could extend our stay in another of your beautiful rooms! Leaving 115 degrees we soaked in your cool weather. No rain! We would have welcomed a little. The breakfasts were scrumptious. The zodiac island tour was exciting- Thanks for the sea salt spray and the wave jumping. Ashley is truely eclectic and we loved her "favourites" wine-chocolate-cheese tour. The waterfall was amazing along with the cider. The scenery-simply breathtaking- oooohs and ahhhhs! Thank you Thank you for a most memorable anniversary vacation. "

" Dieter and Ashley - Thank you once again for your hospitality & for providing such a relaxing and welcoming stay for us. The breakfasts were exemplary, and beyond anything we could have expected. Very well done with everything else as well. The home is beautiful. The grounds, the sunrise/sunset, the wildlife and paddles out on the lagoon- All were just what we needed. Thank you so much. We will be sure to give away lots and lots of free advertising and tell all of our friends to come out for a nice long stay at Birds of a Feather. We will have many fond memories of our stay here for years to come & will be sure to look you up again if we are out to B.C Thanks and best wishes. "

" What a beautiful place! This stay far exceeded our expectations. The only complaint we have is that we were only able to stay for one night. Our daughter loved this place and even told us that she wished we lived here. We will be coming back for sure and passing on this amazing find to friends and family. Thank you for everything! "

" A hike in the woods  To a castle remote. A twilight cruise  As we paddled your boat.   Time was well spent  With plenty of rest. Thanks to "Birds of a Feather"  It's a very fine nest. - Yes, as my poetic husband stated above- enjoyed the quiet, serene atmosphere, wonderful hospitality & great breakfasts! Thanks for this "nest" (we really enjoyed Taco) "

" Our very sincere thanks for your wonderful hospitality during our stay here at Birds of a Feather. This has been a highlight of our visit to your neck of the woods!! We have had a fabulous 4 days- terrific weather, amazing views, comfortable bed, days spent touring the island and sampling all the good things on offer. We know where we'll be staying if we ever win the lotto (and come back) Please visit us when you get "down under" "

" Excellent spot, we would reccommend to anyone- especially when the sun is shining! "

" "On Our 50th"   We consider a lovey sunrise And exhale as the pink horizen brightens. Evening shadows slowly fade And morning sunlight intensifies the lagoon.   We taste the nectar of life As the shimmering light weaves its spell: A symphony of sensations Brings harmony to our souls.   A pair of eagles slide by And our wonders travel with them, Their silence punctuated by the startled Gaggle of Geese at the dock.   And then... The silence is complete.   Our days are captivated by natural wonders. Manicured gardens enhance creation. Salt water spray crusts our lashes. Concluded by an Epicurean delight- Markus'.   But the capstone of our stay Is the evening Eastern rise Of our honeymoon sweet- A moon half-full, but bright with light.   The scene reminds us that ... The night is lovely, dark, yet bright "And we still have promises to keep  And miles to go before we sleep.  And miles to go before we sleep."   "
