"Thank you for your hospitality. We had a wonderful time. The rooms are outstanding! Well done. Thanks Dieter and Annette for everything. "

"Your additions and renovations are terrific and so comfortable! See you next year with my whole family when I graduate. "

"We loved it here! It was the perfect spot for our 20th anniversary getaway. Much more fun, we thought, than in downtown Victoria. So beautiful. Thank you! "

"Talk about Heaven! We found it here in your beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us. It was just what we had in mind for our 4oth wedding anniversary. We've fulfilled our dreams now and can die happy - hee - hee - after another 40 years maybe. Thank you for the wonderful food as well. It was delicious. And the flowers are topped only by Butchart's unending paths. All in all, it was fantastic. "

"What a relaxing day on the dock !! Riding the kayaks out was so much fun and a wonderful break from "touring" and "sightseeing." The family suite was perfect, you thought of everything! Carly loves Emily and Montgomery. Thanks again! "

"What a thrill it was when I arrived on May 24 to find such a magical place! Although the photos on the web enticed me here the reality was even better. Dieter and Annette have created a very special sanctuary for people to share with our fine feathered friends. As a single woman travelling alone it was the perfect place for my temporary "home" on the island. I feel so fortunate that I found it on the net. I looked forward to every morning's delicious breakfast: blueberry soufflé, strawberry and banana crepes, and a very special salmon quiche, to name a few. Dieter was ever helpful with touring and dinning recommendations, and even with several days to spend I couldn't cover them all. Guess I'll just have to come back! To all who read this - enjoy! "

"Great B&B - Location, food & friendly! Suggestions for sightseeing were very helpful. And the weather co-operated - only a few sprinkles. "

"Thanks for all your great suggestions for sightseeing! You have a wonderful B&B. We will tell our friends. "

"Thank you for making our weekend getaway so enjoyable. Both the surroundings and accommodations are absolutely beautiful! We took your suggestion for a day trip and enjoyed some breath-taking scenery and were also fortunate to see a whale pod! Thanks for being great hosts. "

"We had a fantastic weekend. Your home is beautiful and the hospitality was second to none. Relaxing on the dock was great after a day of cycling on the Galloping Goose Trail! The breakfasts were fantastic!! "

"Thanks so much for a wonderful visit. Katie really enjoyed the boat ride. I'm sure we'll be back to experience your fantastic hospitality. This is a great place for children. Very safe, quiet and lots of activities. "

"Das waren 3 schöne Tage, die wir hier im Birds of a Feather mit unseren Sohn verbringen durften. Auf der Suche nach einer schönen Unterkunft direkt am Meer, brachte uns der Zufall hier her. Wir haben den wunderschönen Ausblick wie eine Therapie genossen und dürfen sogar noch unsere Muttersprache mit dem freundlichen Hausherren sprechen und schreiben. Unser Sohn, der für ein halbes Jahr in Vancouver ist, wird sehr gerne diese Accommodation bei seinen dortigen Freunden weiterempfehlen. Wir, die Eltern bedanken uns herzlich. "

"A very enjoyable stay. We had intended to go in to downtown Victoria on Tuesday but spent the whole day here in this area. We watched the birds from the deck and walked in the forest at Royal Roads. We visited the Japanese Gardens at 4:30 pm and had the whole place to ourselves - it was wonderful. All the best! Hope to come back some day. "

"We were the first occupants of Room 1 (for our honeymoon). The area and room were both so beautiful. The details and craftsmanship of the suite perfectly complimented the gorgeous surroundings that make Birds of a Feather an irresistible retreat. Dieter made us feel at home all week! "

"It has been a true pleasure to be the first guests in the newly expanded quarters of Birds of a Feather. Relaxing does not come easily to us, both with demanding jobs, but in a matter of 24 hours we have evolved in to a couple of lethargic slugs. The view, the ambience, the hospitality have melded to make our stay most memorable. "

"Thanks for a nice stay here. It's really a nice experience. Great ideas on where to go and what to do. The tips were really helpful and great!! Also, it feels like home. The dogs are fun, we enjoyed them too! Take care you both and bless you more! "

"What a beautiful B&B - a delightful location - and hosts - delicious breakfasts and planning advice that made our stay ever more special. "

"We were afraid not to find a place to stay on Vancouver Island because of BC Day! Calling Dieter to ask him for a room, he offered us the possibilty of today, although we had to leave early in the morning! So we could not enjoy the breakfast, but nevertheless we enjoyed the short stay because of the wonderful surroundings and the free access to all the things which this B&B offers! (internet, dishes, and books) Thank you "

"Thank you again for your hospitality, yummy breakfasts, and excellent travel advice. We had a wonderful but too short a time. Next year we'll stay longer. "

"You, along with Montgomery and Emily were wonderful hosts. Lorna and I enjoyed a mix of rest and activity. One of the highlights was sunbathing on the lawn. The castle and gardens were so relaxing. Since there was a report of a couger in the area we were cafeful to hold large sticks of wood vertically over out heads so we would appear much larger and taller to the cougar. Lorna needed a much taller stick than I. We took many fine photos. One I shall label "Stream after cougar drank and departed". Our four nights here were therapeutic, the weather outstanding& the nights cool and quiet, notwithstanding some minor snoring. We would love to return! "
