Welcome to our comfortable, friendly and relaxing accommodation, in a pleasant secluded garden, above Arbutus Cove. It is situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood, yet close to the scenic coast road and the University of Victoria, and just a few minutes from downtown Victoria. Arbutus Haven has glimpses of the sea through a grove of fir trees, with the San Juan Islands in the U.S. visible in the distance. Snow-capped Mt.Baker can be seen from various local view-points. Nearby Arbutus Cove is a completely unspoiled tree-lined bay, and just a couple of minutes walk away.The coast road has numerous points of access to the sea, so the whole coastline can be explored. A relaxed drive around the coast to downtown Victoria takes half an hour, and gives views of Cadboro Bay and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, the Oak Bay Marina, Chatham and Discovery Islands, the Victoria Golf Course, the Olympic Mountains across the straits in Washington State, and the Race Rocks lighthouse at the mouth of the Juan de Fuca Strait leading to the Pacific Ocean.more...See more text
