Quiet Houseboat Bed and Brekkie
Communication from the host was outstanding. The room was clean and cozy. No tv in the room, but we really didn’t care. It was a surprise for my family and they loved it. Perfect if you want a quiet affordable getaway. Walking distance to inner harbor. Breakfast was included and provided by a family owned cafe called Imagine. Your choice of fruit and yogurt or a breakfast sandwich on banock bread… it was called Imagine Cafe and they make an awesome wood fired pizza.

This property and the area are so unique and it was a lovely experience to sleep in a home on the water! Carene was lovely and so helpful. We also loved the breakfast and the staff at Imagine Cafe! I feel like this is a “must experience” at least once in your life kinda thing!

Unique experience! We loved our stay. The cute little water taxi right out the door was icing on the cake. Note: restaurants close early-ish on Fisherman’s wharf so be sure to check on that if u are staying.

Property was as advertised. Fisherman’s Wharf was extremely busy and noisy when we arrived about 5.30pm, but it gets much better and quieter after 9.00pm when the businesses close and the crowds leave.

Fun experience- check in was easy and everything was nicely explained during our walk through. Directions and info on parking was most appreciated. Lovely place!
The only issue was trying to reply to the host via Expedia on our arrival time, and the host never received it. Being out of the country made it too difficult to call.

Loved the idea of sleeping on the water. Property was relatively quiet considering the owner lives above and a second unit right next door. Shared air blower/kettle not ideal as wasn't available when needed. There was no tv (which is good and bad) but be aware. Loved our included breakfast at Imagine Cafe. Room was smaller but very clean and sufficient.

Weather conditions prevented us from traveling to Victoria earlier today. We phoned the property and asked for a refund or a credit. They refused.
