Breakfast was the best they definitely put the BREAKFAST in “bed & breakfast”. Airport less than 5 min away. Golf course across the street with food & pub. Owners were very helpful with communication throughout our short stay & solitude/privacy when needed.
• Khadijah (7/5): Good - It's good place Good
• Ram Nisanth (10/5): - One of the most comfortable stays that we’ve ever had
• Leblanc (10/5): Excellent et plaisant. - Our host was very warm, friendly, and more than helpful. The site and the bed and breakfast were very peaceful and pleasant. A short walk of less than 5 minutes took us easily to Cole's Bay Regional Park and a beautiful view of the waterfront. The included breakfast was generous and very good. Nothing
• Shelby (10/5): Relaxing and accommodating - Very close to Victoria airport. Comfortable accommodations. Very clean, beautifully decorated. Great breakfast. Warm, friendly hosts, eager to help with info about the area and the Island. Very quiet beautiful area. Right by a golf course. Picture included is of Patricia Bay Park pull-off just a couple minutes away. Everything was great.
• Construction (10/5): Again the hosts were lovely people and the breakfast was the best we ever had at a BNB ... - The owners of Cole Bay Vacation Retreat were lovely. We stayed in a first level apartment that was amazing with their attention to detail. They delivered a custom breakfast in the AM that we requested...never stayed in a BNB that had that option. They have worked for years to fine tune their lodging. They did have Standard Poodles in the yard that accessed the apartment so if you are not OK with Dogs probably not for you. The Poodles were friendly. We were not advised that there were dogs in our access to the apartment. Also We expected a separate building from the main house and the owners switched us from the original location before we checked in due to a long-term rental, We were relegated to a basement apartment under the living quarters of the hosts. I get it ...but no notice was given.. would have cancelled if we knew the circumstance.
• Kim (9/5): Superb -
• Birgit (10/5): - Outstanding stay ast this wonderful BnB. We were greeted the moment we arrived with friendliness and felt like we were home immediately. Our room had everything you could possibly need including fridge, microwave, utensils etc and several charging stations. The bed was very comfortable with great bedding and the bathroom was clean, safe and had nice thick towels. Our breakfast was a complete surprise and certainly got our day of travel off to the right start. The owner went so far as to personalize our breakfast which was more than appreciated. We would definitely recommend a stay here and after only one night, we wished we had more time to spend with these thoughtful hosts. We can't thank them enough!
• Ray (9/5): Superb - Tranquillity and dogs
• KATHARINE (10/5): - Comfortable, quiet and relaxing. Karey and Howie (as well as Walley & Tigger) are amazing hosts and our breakfast was delicious. We definitely recommend the Coles Bay Vacation Retreat.
• Dale M. (10/5): - Pleasent and accommodating people.
• Kelsey (10/5): Wonderful, quiet and comfortable - Amazing place to stay. Welcoming and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious. Would 100% go back.
• Bruce (10/5): - We were really pleased at our overnight at this BNB! Comfortable, private room and breakfast was amazing! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something convenient to the airport.
• Grant (10/5): - We spent one night in a queen room. It was so quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. We are looking forward to a return trip. Highly recommend.
• Brenda (10/5): - What can we say! Wonderful retreat out in the countryside. The location to dining, Sidney, airport and Air museum are very close. The accommodation is beautifully done. Our hosts were friendly and enjoyable. Enjoy!!
• Angela (10/5): - We cannot even say enough about this place. The property is gorgeous, and the hosts are so friendly, they have answers to any questions you may have about the area, history , or dining. If you like to eat, I recommend fasting the day before. I have never had such a breakfast. Do yourself a favour and book here. Take walks. Enjoy the peace. Pet the puppies.
• Amanda (9/5): Very conveneint and pleasant - The hostess was able to provide a nice breakfast tray, She also provided some soup in the evening.

• donna (10/5): - October 19-20, 2024 This was a lovely cottage stay. Karey gave a little tour of the 1 bedroom cottage complete with a full bathroom/ shower and luxurious towels, sunken living room, dining room and kitchen. She showed me how everything worked and where everything that I might need was located. There were two types of coffee and several selections of tea available. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pot, pans, plates etc. Karey brought me breakfast on a tray right to my door. Oven fresh croissants with scrumptious yogurt, and fresh fruit. Absolutely delicious. Her husband, Howie transported me to the airport, in the morning, which is only about six minutes away. The bed was super comfy and I slept well. Although I only spent one night at the cottage I was fortunate to get an upgrade as I Initially had just booked a room rather than the One bedroom cottage that I stayed in. I would love to return for a longer stay next time. Wonderful hosts and lovely stay. Thank you for the hospitality.
