In beautiful old house that's a lot away from the pub, so it's quiet. On a seawall that is a pleasant and picturesque walk to downtown

I enjoyed the quiet building and area. The facility is dated but charming. The bed was only a double but cosy. All in all a nice night away.

The front desk person who checked us in and out was very attentive and helpful. Overall it was a pleasant experience staying in for one night at this property. However, maybe there’s a shortage of staffing, so when we tried to call the front desk service for a plumb, there’s a long delay. We waiting for more than thirty minutes to get someone to bring the plumb to our unit. Yet, still I would say I’m pretty satisfied with the service in general. So far so good and we had an awesome rest!

Room was very nice. It was quiet and clean. The only issue we had was food at the restaurant was not the best. I would recommend staying at the Spinnaker house but not the food at the restaurant.

We stayed in the Heritage House unit 4. It was a small suite, a bit crowded with stuff, but had everything we needed. It was too hot and I turned down the thermostat but it was still hot so I opened the windows. One window was cracked and didn’t stay open. The bed was comfortable. Parking at the back was very tight. I really liked that there were two EV level 2 plugs in the restaurant parking lot. Restaurant - we loved the complimentary chocolate / beer flight pairing - so delicious! Food was great. We were disappointed with our other beer flights because there was no label showing which beer was which. The server told them to us but it was too hard to remember. All other breweries have them labelled and we are used to that. We would go back again sometime, but would try the other accommodations instead of the heritage house.

Spacious, comfortable suite with a well appointed kitchen - great location with a wonderful walk to downtown Victoria. And of course the beer at Spinnakers was an added bonus

We loved the retro ambiance of unit 6 in the Garden Suites. Wonderful place for a family 60th birthday party. Lots of room and a lovely patio garden with ocean views. Sitting by the fire sipping a beverage from spinnaker’s reflecting on the great service at the restaurant. Highly recommend and will return in future.

Aside from arriving to find they did not have me registered under my name and then giving me the keys to a room that was already occupied, our stay was pleasant and all the staff quite friendly. Convenient location and good food at the pub.

Unfortunately there was a heat wave in Victoria and with no air conditioning it was quite uncomfortable the first 2 nights. The bathtub/shower/jetted tub is extremely difficult to step over and quite hazardous. Not the best for short people or those with mobility issues or some seniors with balance problems. It would be good to mention that in the description of the room.

What a beautiful and charming property! We stayed in heritage house and enjoyed a peaceful stay. There is a water taxi really close by, a walking path, and parking right next to the house. Plus, huge shout out to the lovely human at the front desk who checked us in. They were friendly and offered very helpful information that enriched our stay!!!
