Description
This guest suite is part of our family home, shared among 3 generations. We have prepared this suite for our visiting family and friends, and would love to extend availability to the academic community as well. This would be perfect for a student or faculty member looking to get away from the city for a while and enjoy the great outdoors, as there are ample outdoor activities in this area to keep a nature lover busy. Alternatively, it could be a great spot to focus on studying and writing, using this as a little retreat in the woods. With several delicious restaurants within a 20 minute walking distance, a hot tub to enjoy in the evening, and lush green surroundings, you will find this location a serene and peaceful place to focus.

Comments: A private wooded 2 acre property up a steep road, this suite feels remote. However, a 7 minute walk lands you at a beach park and the start of the rail trail, bringing you to Shawnigan Village in just minutes. A lovely 45 minute drive to UVic.
