Meeting our new born grandson
We traveled to Sidney to visit our son’s family and our new grandson who was eight weeks old when we arrived.The house was amazing! Very comfortable! We were able to host dinner most evenings and enjoy the company of family and friends. The location was about a mile from downtown, quiet, and welcoming.We will be asking to reserve this house again for our next visit to Sidney. Highly recommend this house on dates we don’t reserve it…LOL!

A lovely get away!
We love staying at Heron View Cottage. I travel with my elderly mother and everything is easily accessible for her. It is clean and the location makes you feel like you're truly on vacation. It is convenient for the Butchart Gardens and downtown Victoria is also easy to get to. Jim is a lovely host.

Lovely garden cottage
The accommodation was gorgeous, especially the surrounding gardens, pathways, and patio. The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping. It was very peaceful. The bedrooms were comfortable and adequately spacious; be aware the drapes are not heavy so the morning light enters the rooms early. It was nice to have two full baths. The kitchen is compact but functional. There were limited extras in terms of any food items ( no sugar for instance). The check-in was restrictive for our personal travel plans as we were up island and wanting to take the Mill Bay ferry which cannot be pre-booked. As a result of having to meet the greeter at a set time, we had to cut short our touring around and despite getting to the ferry early we missed getting onboard. We were car number 20 and 21, and they only take 19. This meant driving the Malahat and getting into Sidney an hour before our check-in time. The actual owner of the property was very friendly, and helpful and has a devoted green thumb and passion for his home and gardens.

Outstanding Property
This property is one of a kind. Very well located with water views and very peaceful. A great spot to get away, relax and recharge. The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to cook our meals with ease. The upper loft area is the perfect place to read and work. We will be returning for a stay in the summer.

Cozy, comfortable cottage in Sydney
Spacious, nicely appointed, very clean and comfortable cottage with a cozy vibe at the end of a quiet lane in the Sydney suburbs, ideal for a peaceful stay for a few days and to use a base for surrounding area attractions. Note limited parking (covered parking for one vehicle only, extra street parking some distance away, not in front of property). Note that this listing is managed by a third party rental company, so expect a certain amount of extra red tape to deal with (extra ironclad rental contract, multiple emails, phone calls etc. ), however the process ran efficiently and the company was responsive to short notice adjustment in check-in arrangements due to inclement winter weather.

Quiet oasis
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Heron Cottage is a wonderful property. Good location near the water; very quiet in residential neighbourhood. Nice rustic decor, comfortable beds, kitchen well equipped. A bit far to walk to grocery store, would recommend a car. Owner lives next door and very pleasant, although rental agency takes care of checking in. The latter is my only complaint. Almost “too professional” : strict rules, lack of flexibility, long rental agreement, too much paperwork. But overall, very pleased with our stay. Pictures on website represent well the actual property, albeit a bit smaller than expected.
