Great place to lay your head in Victoria

The Oak Bay Beach Hotel is newly built and the location is beautiful. You would need to have a car if you want to go to downtown Victoria, but for a weekend away it would be really nice.

They have a 24hour pool and access to three Seaside Hot Mineral Pools.

 

“The Snug” pub is really well known and very popular. It’s not a big menu but all the normal stuff that you would expect in a pub, fish and chips, burgers, poutine, and they have a carvery dinner option.

They have probably the best scotch eggs that anyone I was with had ever tasted, and they are $4!

Rooms are really lovely. Sitting area at the window, big wooden framed bed.

The bathrooms are the best, there is a shutter between the bedroom and the bathroom which you can pull back and use the Jacuzzi tub while looking out the window, and a huge separate shower.

Their shampoo/shower gels bottle look like little bottles of perfume, very cool.

Nightly turn services and complimentary valet parking.

From our clients, Greece

Lea-Anne, fell upon a great adventure while in Greece, here is her story.

We stumbled across this place, Villa Mertiza, basically because we ran out of cash, water, petrol, sunlight all at the same time.


We were a little silly and headed out with little cash and forgot there are NO cash machines outside of large cities, and NOBODY takes cards.

These guys let us pitch up for the night - explaining we had nothing on us, they said 'pay us when you get back to England' !!!????  (Lea-Anne is Canadian)

They pointed us to a restaurant that took cards and gave us an amazing room.

The next day he took Rup to a cash point in a village not on any map. We bought a few t shirts and swimmers and stayed for four nights.

Put this in your back pocket for your own trip. It was just amazing, exactly why we love Greece.

From our clients, London

Monday morning my friend called me from Rio, she was boarding a flight that night for London and needed two nights accommodation.

Almost everything was sold out in London, except for 600.00gbp plus per night, more than she was wanting to pay. I found the "Citadines Prestige South Kensington" hotel at a great rate.

Yesterday morning she Skyped me from her room, and walked around with her Ipad showing me the accommodation. It looked exactly like their photo's on their website.

Great location and you can walk everywhere and close to Harrod's!
