Welcome to our home! We love living in Victoria (moved here 15 years ago) and we know you will too. Our modern, comfortable, ‘open-concept’ home is spread out over 2 floors. It is south facing (large deck with a propane fire pit), 3000 square feet, 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and 1 sun-room. Outside, we have a nice yard in front, plus an enclosed yard in the back with a hot tub, climbing wall, obstacle course, and trampoline.
The top floor of our home is where we live and spend most of our time. It has 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, living area, sun-room, and kitchen.
We have a sauna, hot tub, pool table, table tennis, exercise room, SUP, trampoline, climbing wall, obstacle course and bicycles as well as kids toys (appropriate for 6 - 12 ages) for your recreational pleasure.

We are a busy, fun, and outgoing family of 4: Andreas, Janin, and our 2 daughters. We are foodies and love to try new foods and recipes.
We love the outdoors and being physically active whether it is hiking, swimming, running, canoeing, and biking. We have a very well behaved, quiet, hypoallergenic dog (labradoodle). His name is Filou. We would love to bring him with us when we explore new places.
We are originally from Berlin, Germany. We first visited Vancouver Island in 2007. After our visit we loved it so much here we decided to move to Victoria. That is 14 years ago and we STILL LOVE it. We also love to travel and to discover new places.
We're looking forward to creating adventures around the world through this site and share our beautiful cozy family home with others!
