Victoria bed and breakfast testimonials
We meet so many wonderful people who come to our bed and breakfast in Victoria. Operating a B&B has many rewards. It is a privilege to be a part of the creation of happy memories. We were reading through comments in our guest books and were quite overwhelmed by all the kind comments and testimonials so want to share some with you.

Len and Sandy from California wrote to us in August 2011 "We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful B&B. Out of all of the B&B's we stayed at, yours was by far the best, the room, your hospitality and of course the morning breakfast set the
tone for the remainder of our trip... We arrived home just a few hours ago and we wish we were still on vacation....Sandy will go into Trip Advisor and add our comments.....Hope to see you again on our much anticipated return trip...."
A TripAdvisor example from August 2008 is:-
"Our 3-day stay at Gazebo Bed & Breakfast in Victoria on Vancouver Island is truly one of the best lodging experiences we've ever had. The proprietors, Linda & Martin, were a joy to meet, and proved very helpful in guiding us to Victoria's many wonderful tourist attractions. They are incredibly organized - individual binders of things like restaurants, must-see destinations and ferry information awaited us and believe me, we used it! The Gazebo itself is a beautiful house in the wine country. The rooms are clean, painted in vivid colors, each with their own outside access. The breakfasts are top-notch as well. I happen to have an egg allergy that I warned Linda about, and she made a few special breakfasts just for me that were wonderful. Fresh fruit accompanied all our meals, as well as outstanding coffee and tea. I think what we liked best, though, was the warmth we felt staying there. Linda & Martin struck us as very real people who really enjoy what they do - and are thrilled to share their knowledge and love of Victoria with their guests to make their stay on the island all that more enjoyable. On our next visit to Victoria, we'll definitely be looking them up again."
"My wife and I spent two nights at the Gazebo B&B on our first trip to Victoria together. We have enjoyed the stay immensely. Here are some things we found of note:
- excellent food
- professional, courtieous, and helpful owners
- very nice rooms and common areas with up to date ammentities (excellent bathroom fixtures, internet on-site, etc., videos available in rooms)
- excellent gardens
- beautiful decor
- very, very quiet
- centrally located
- very safe (well lit at night)
- excellent signage (easy to find)
We would highly recommend this B&B to all!"

What an amazing place! Everything was absolutely wonderful. The cottage, the garden, the tub, the bed and most definitely the breakfast. The Brannons, Eugene, OR.
We LOVED our stay at the Gazebo, and when we can afford another trip to Victoria, we'll be back. We are still walking on air. Your hospitality is the BEST. I think we each gained five pounds from your delicious breakfasts. Kris & Elizabeth, Wichita, KS.
Thank you for the peace that I felt here. It was just what the doctor ordered. Steve & Lolita, Puyallup, WA.
Thank you ever so much for providing us with four wonderful days during our recent trip to Victoria. Thank you Linda for your absolutely fabulous breakfasts every morning! After the first morning, the anticipation for the following morning's breakfast was on our mind all day. Every day you amazed us! We loved the way that you had everything set up so nicely to provide comfort to your guests in your wonderfully decorated home. Your gardening skills are exceptional and are reflected in your wonderful landscape. Sitting in your garden and reading takes a good book to a whole new level! You were truly excellent hosts to us and the other guests and we can't thank you enough for the fine food and hospitality! This was our first ever B&B experience and we are looking for excuses to come back. We truly loved it and have already recommended your B&B to friends. Doreen & Mert, Calgary, AB.

Where do we begin – we can’t even find the words to express our experience here at your gorgeous Bed and Breakfast. From the moment we arrived we felt like royalty. Ray & Sandy, Riverside, CA.
We didn’t know what to expect coming to a B+B for the first time. We can not quite say or express how much we have enjoyed the peacefulness of this place, the warmness and graciousness you both have extended to us. So we will just have to return. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Joel & Caitlin.
