- X (9/5): Peaceful oasis to unwind - Very spacious and cozy space. The owner is very thoughtful and stock the place with everything to make us feel at home.
I love the location too. It is close to coffee shops, shopping and community center. I wish there is a toilet upstairs near the bedroom. It was quite a long walk to use the toilet at night.

No complaints whatsoever.

Die Vorzüge dieser Unterkunft erschließen sich einem erst auf den zweiten Blick.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen. -
- Shirley (9/5): Excellent stay, wish we could have stayed longer. - The property as described as a Garden House and I was expecting some sort of garden shed. It turned out to be a big surprise and the property as lovely. The photos do not do is justice. There was nothing that I disliked.
- Shannon (10/5): Restful - The beautiful gardens That I could take the gnomes home with me 🫣
- Rod (8/5): Great except for the above mentioned things - Had to leave early as my spouse got sick, so no breakfast.
Hosts very accommodating and friendly Bedroom on a different floor from bathroom.
No shelf in bathroom by sink. Nowhere to put stuff. Sink tiny.
- jose (10/5): - They are the best. Exceptional quality service 👏 .
- Sandra (10/5): Wonderful and would recommend. - Everything we needed was there. Large unit and lovely backyard. If being picky, the bathroom downstairs while the bedroom being upstairs was a bit inconvenient.
- shauna butterwick (10/5): Delighted to find a little bit of quiet paradise in Courtenay: spacious with beautiful garden - spacious, super clean, all amenities, opened onto patio and stunning garden. Quiet and restful.
- Norm (10/5): My stay was determined by other factors, but no where near long enough - Host was welcoming and helpful. Facility is outstanding in appearance and decoration. Location is easy to find, close to main traffic without hearing traffic.
- Marianne (10/5): Ein kleines Paradies... - eine wunderschöne Unterkunft, sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet, alles vorhanden - es fehlt an nichts, sehr nette Gastgeber, ein zauberhafter Garten - "Garden House" - der Name vollkommen zutreffend, zwei Nächte waren viel zu wenig ! fällt uns absolut nichts ein ...
- WAYNE (9/5): - The gardens are beautiful and very peaceful. The location was central for our needs. The stairs up to the bedroom because of my physical abilities at the time. I didn’t realize there were stairs when I booked.
- Angie (10/5): The perfect place that has it all! privacy, beautiful gardens, great hosts, and close to everything - I book this location for our horse show judges each year, and each and every one has commented on how lovely it is, and that the host is so gracious and friendly. The location is perfect, and close to our event venue at the Exhibition Grounds. The garden is so beautiful, and you have the accommodations all to yourself. My advice is to book well in advance, as the days get taken quickly.. I will be booking our 2026 dates asap. Thank-you! everything is perfect!
- Frederick (10/5): - Owner waited for us in front by the sidewalk and gave us a tour. Unit was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.
- Fung Wan (9/5): -
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
- Fm (9/5): Lovely spot for a good night's sleep - This place was like coming to a favourite aunt and uncle's with their welcome to use all the amenities including a private back porch, not to mention fresh cherries! Everything felt comfy and there was more than the basic necessities in this spacious, fully furnished, two-storey apartment. Definitely a place you could stay long term. And true to the name, the gardens are a treat!

There is a spacious backyard with a sliding door from the living room. The bedroom upstairs has a large desk, and is comfortable and welcoming.
My new go to place in Courtenay!!!

- Phill (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diana (9/5): Superb - Spacious, comfortable, clean, private, and quiet. Steep stairs to the bedroom, but spacious and quiet.
- Harry (2/5): Nice unit, unpleasant host - Nice unit with garden and well-equipped kitchen On booking, we asked for scent-free products but experienced an allergic reaction the first night and had to check out a day early. The host seems to have a different understanding of "scent-free" rather than using, for example, unscented laundry detergent and supplying unscented products such as hand and dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc. A verbal request for a one-night refund seemed possible initially but the host's later messages turned defensive and accusatory. The host did offer a refund subject to a new rental that same evening. But you can't re-rent a booked unit without first refunding and cancelling it via booking.com. Overall a negative encounter with an unpleasant host.
Postscript: accusing us of leaving a stench is so ironic. Like I said, an unpleasant host.

- Darren (10/5): The next time I need to stay over in Courtenay I'll book here and I will suggest the same to others - Very spacious quiet nook surrounded by trees. The kitchen had everything we needed and the well decorated rooms were complete with a very comfortable bed. Bob also went over and above to welcome us and accommodate our parking of a moving truck. He could have stopping it raining so much. Well maybe not.
