Make it more than a day trip

Gardens by Day, the Farm by Night

The Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay is the Saanich Peninsula's most famous sight: the Sunken Garden carved out of an old quarry, the Rose, Japanese and Italian gardens, and walkways that change completely with the seasons. Most visitors come out from downtown Victoria for a few hours; staying on the peninsula lets you arrive early, leave late, or go back for an evening visit without the drive.

From our property it's about 15 minutes, along quiet country roads through the farmland of North and Central Saanich.

Afterwards, you've got a whole home to come back to: separate bedrooms with their own bathrooms, a full kitchen, a patio over the fields and Pat Bay Beach two minutes' walk away.

Every season

A Reason to Visit All Year

Spring brings the bulbs and blossoms, summer the roses, evening entertainment and Saturday-night fireworks, and autumn the colour in the Japanese Garden.

In winter the gardens are lit up for the holiday season with the Magic of Christmas, a great reason for an off-season escape to the farm.

Good to know

Questions

How far is it to Butchart Gardens?

About a 15-minute drive to The Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay.

Is it worth staying nearby rather than downtown?

If the gardens are a highlight of your trip, yes. You can arrive at opening, come back for the evening, and skip the drive out from downtown Victoria, which is about 35 minutes from the farm.

Is it a good base for the holiday lights?

Yes. The gardens' Magic of Christmas runs through the holiday season, and both rentals are cosy winter stays. The Suite has in-floor heating.

Is breakfast included?

No — we're a self-catering stay rather than a traditional B&B. Both rentals have a full kitchen with cooking basics, coffee and a coffee maker, and Sidney's grocery stores and cafés are about 5 minutes away.
