"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! "

"Thank you for your gracious hospitality and the scrumptous breakfasts. We have enjoyed this lovely, relaxing place and you have been a great host, knowledgeable and helpful. We'd love to come back. Best wishes for the future. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The views are fabulous and we loved the quietness. We had fun on the kayaks and are thankful we didn't end up in the lagoon! Thank you, Annette, for the great food. You are a friendly and gracious host. "

"Yes, you do live in a postcard. We enjoyed your home, and hospitality. We loved the quiet atmosphere, and private setting. "

"We have enjoyed our stay so much! Your home and its location are lovely, so restful and relaxing. Tou strike a great balance between being present and so helpful, while giving us time to relax and be quiet on our own as well. And, of course the breakfasts each day were delicious, and sent us off well-nourished. Your whale-watching advice was great - we had a wonderful day on the water and got to see lots of whales. Good luck with the addition. We hope to come back again. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. "

"Thank you Annette and Dieter for another great stay. We enjoyed the cycling in the woods, the boats in the lagoon and the excellent weather. So much to see and do right in your local area, even a lovely beach. We'll be back to see the new even better "Birds of a Feather." "

"It doesn't get much better than this! Your hospitality was great and we enjoyed our stay immensely. To top off the beautiful scenery and perfect weather, we loved our time with Montgomery and Emily - it helped ease our "doggie withdrawals" from the 2 dogs we left at home. Can't wait to see how the addition turns out. "

"This was a great start to our Canada vacation. We especially appreciated the wonderful weather. The 14 swans feeding down at the dock was incredible. Don't know about yur "hike" though - what a workout! Thank you for providing a special place. "

"The stay has once again been fabulous. We enjoyed everything! You went above and beyond and we shall return when the new addition is here. Emily and Montgomery are great hosts also. They helped us feel at home. The spectacular view and the quiet atmosphere were just what we needed. We have been blessed to know that this place exists and look forward to another relaxing time here. Until then keep up the great work! "

"What a pleasure to genuinely feel like a welcomed guest! Many thanks for the tasty food (ice cream waffles rock!! ) the insider's scoop on surrounding attractions, and the unpretentious, homey, good natured hospitality you offer. You're our top choice for Victoria lodging and if fate brings us back, look for us out in your cul-du-sac! "

"What a slice of Heaven! The peace and relaxation are relentless. It will certainly take us much longer to wind back up into our anxiety-riddled, over-stressed, fast-paced grinding lifestyle. For that we thank you kindly with our solemn vow that we shall return! "

"Lovely house, it's a good idea with the bikes and kayaks and boats. Really nice environment and the service and company was great. Over all just a fantastic stay. - Hsa (daughter) www.karlstad.se I love this place, colour in the room, bathroom, hot tub and the freedom to go anywhere. Thank you for your hospitality. - Eva(mother) "

"Thank you so much for sharing this special place with the world. Sitting here on your dock watching the Canadian Geese play in your lagoon as the sun sets will be remembered. We so much enjoyed the hiking at East Sooke, fireworks at Butchart and looking forward to Hatley Park today. Your knowledge and advice about your surroundings was so appreciated and made each day a "no worries" day. Thanks again for making us feel so welcome and relaxed, the great food and your company. This wouldn't be complete without mentioning Montgomery and Emily whom our 15 yr old son enjouyed so completely. Definitely a "TEN" Vacation. "

"A lovely spot and a gracious welcome gave us a relaxed but informed place to begin exploring the island. Very delightful! "

"What a wonderful spot you carved out for yourselves here. The home and grounds are warm and inviting particularly the genuine hospitality you extended was much appreciated, and "Thanks" for your expert advice on places to visit. Hope to see you again, maybe down our way in New Orleans. "

"Quite a change from our home in Chicago! Hatley Park and Sombrio Beach we would never have found without your help, Dieter. Loved it all - the excellent breakfasts, the whole house, the animals ... the quiet. "

"Thank you so very much for your warm hospitality, great food and comfy bed! You've truly created a welcoming home away from home. I really appreciated being able to book our stay online, and for having wi-fi throughout. Your site is great - we got a true-to-life picture of your home. Thanks again! "

"You really have a piece of pardise here. Thank you for your hospitality and wonderful breakfasts - every day something new to try. Your B&B has so much to offer - we didn't have time to go biking and kayaking but everything was there waiting for us to use. Thank you very much for advise on what to do, where to go, etc. This was our first trip to Victoria and we enjoyed it very much :-) "

"We enjoyed our nights in your cozy "Bird's Nest." Thank you for the delicious breakfasts and warm hospitality. Vancouver Island is truly a beautiful place. "
