Neighbourhood
Our building is just off downtown facing big, beautiful Beacon Hill Park. Safe, fun, vibrant. Theatre, restaurants, strolling, entertainment, coffee houses, it's all within walking. For active or relaxed lifestyles, enjoy the inner harbour, a 4 minute walk away. Take in whale watching, fishing, golf, cycling, pickle ball, lawn bowling, hiking is a stroll away - or drive the entire Vancouver Island for fun and adventure.
Famous things to see and do include Butchart Gardens, Royal BC Museum/IMAX is across the street, First Nations tourism, nature hikes, China Town is a walk away, Fishermans' Wharf is a 10 minute walk, tea at The Empress is 2 blocks away, Double Decker Hop On Hop Off bus tours. Malahat Skywalk is fantastic we think, Zip Line Tours, rent a car and go to Tofino for the wild west coast and old growth forests!
Within a 10 minute walk: Grocery store, coffee shops, inner harbour, parliament, museum, restaurants, tourist info centre, Coho Ferry, Clipper Ferry, Beacon Hill Park, tour boats, IMAX, whale watching tours, shopping.
Nearest airport
YYJ Victoria airport is 35 minutes away in a car. Transit from YYJ is fair. Cabs are around $70 We are adventurous and take the bus from YYJ one hour home but it usually includes a 20 minute walk from airport to the bus stop.
YWH inner harbour airport is steps from the downtown core, the Parliament Buildings and our home! Harbour Air does seaplane flights from Vancouver and several other cities.
Getting Around
Walk! walk, walk walk! Or cycle. This is a city and neighbourhood for those who appreciate walking everywhere. Via foot you'll find downtown, groceries, parliament, museum, pubs, coffee houses, you name it - all just minutes away. We try and live "car light" as the area is so walkable, great access to transit and has some of the best cycling lanes on the continent. We cycle year round.
Transit is as good as it gets in Canada, a bus stop several feet out our front door. We use it a fair bit using transit cards for ease of payment.
We live just off downtown, so parking is very limited in the area. If you plan to drive or rent a car, please discuss with us where you can put it.
