About this property
Maplewood Cottage: English Charm, West Coast Soul.
ENGLISH ROOTS, PACIFIC NORTHWEST SOUL
Step into a tranquil garden hideaway where English countryside charm meets the misty magic of the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by the timeless elegance of the Cotswolds, Maplewood Cottage is nestled in one of Victoria’s most peaceful and central neighborhoods—just minutes from the ocean, downtown, cafes, and scenic forested trails.
A KITCHEN MADE FOR SLOW LIVING
The farmhouse-style kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances and everything you need to create comforting meals or simple snacks. Thoughtful details—stone countertops, ceramic dishware, and natural textures—make cooking a pleasure, whether you’re baking scones or prepping a garden-inspired salad. Enjoy your meal at the vintage table beside a sunny window overlooking the courtyard.
SERENE, SPA-INSPIRED BATH
The spa-inspired bathroom features elegant wainscoting, soft lighting, and curated details that evoke an old-world cottage feel. Whether you’re starting your day with a refreshing shower or ending it with a moment of stillness, it’s a space designed to soothe.
RESTFUL SLEEP, GUARANTEED
The bedroom offers a plush queen bed with a premium Tempur-Pedic mattress to ensure restful, cloud-like sleep. Slip under the crisp linens and enjoy the quiet calm of the garden surroundings. Wake to the sound of birdsong and sunlight filtering through the windows—pure peace after a day of exploring the island.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR EVERY MOOD
Unwind in the cozy lounge space with a mounted smart TV and access to Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, Prime Video, Crave, and full cable. Paired with a high speed fibre optic WiFi. Whether you’re staying in for a quiet evening or enjoying a rainy afternoon indoors, you’ll have endless entertainment at your fingertips.
SERENITY IN THE COURTYARD GARDEN
Step outside into your own secluded garden courtyard—surrounded by espalier apple trees, seasonal blooms, and a lovingly tended kitchen garden bursting with herbs and greens. This peaceful outdoor space is perfect for morning coffee, reading in the sunshine, or unwinding under the stars. Let the scent of lavender drift through the air as you enjoy a glass of wine or gather ingredients for a fresh garden-to-table meal.
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING
Maplewood Cottage offers the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access. Within just a short drive, you’ll find some of Victoria’s most scenic and sought-after spots:
• Beaches: Spend a serene afternoon beachcombing or watching the sunset at Willows Beach, Gonzales Bay, or Cadboro Bay—each within 10–15 minutes by car or an easy cycle away.
• Walking, Hiking & Cycling Trails: Explore nearby trails like Mt. Tolmie, Mt. Douglas, or the Lochside and Galloping Goose regional trails—ideal for forested strolls, birdwatching, and longer cycling adventures through the region.
• Golf Courses: Tee off at Cedar Hill Golf Course (5 minutes away) or enjoy a round at the prestigious Uplands Golf Club—both surrounded by lush landscapes.
• Downtown Victoria & Inner Harbour: Just a 12-minute drive or 20-minute scenic bike ride to downtown’s shops, cafés, art galleries, and the picturesque waterfront.
• Hospitals: Royal Jubilee Hospital is just a 9-minute drive or 20-minute bike ride. Victoria General Hospital is 10–12 minutes by car or 22 minutes by bike.
• Grocery Stores & Markets: Convenient options like Thrifty Foods and Save-On-Foods are just minutes away, while beloved local favourites like The Root Cellar and Red Barn Market offer fresh, local produce and gourmet pantry staples. Weekend farmers’ markets nearby also showcase the best of the island’s seasonal bounty.
• Victoria International Airport: Only a 25-minute drive, making travel seamless.
• Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal: A scenic 30-minute drive brings you to BC Ferries bound for Vancouver and the Gulf Islands.
• No Car? No Problem! There’s an Evo car share parked just 2 minutes from the cottage at the local park—perfect for quick outings without the need for your own vehicle.
A STAY WITH SOUL
Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a solo reset, or a serene base for your adventures in Victoria, Maplewood Cottage invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. Thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained, this is more than a stay—it’s a little piece of English magic on Canada’s wild West Coast.
ADDITIONAL NOTES

About the host
Hosted by Darren

British guy originally from Oxford, UK, now living in beautiful Victoria, BC. I love sharing the island lifestyle with guests and making sure they feel right at home. Friendly, helpful, and always happy to offer local tips!
Why they chose this property
Maplewood is a peaceful, leafy neighborhood that feels tucked away while still being close to everything Victoria has to offer. The streets are lined with tall trees, friendly homes, and plenty of walking trails that make it easy to enjoy the outdoors. One of the things I enjoy most about the area is how quiet and relaxed it feels—you can hear the birds in the morning and take a short stroll to nearby parks like Cedar Hill. At the same time, you’re only a few minutes’ drive from downtown, local cafés, and great restaurants. It’s the perfect balance of calm and convenience.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property truly unique is its Cotswolds-inspired charm, right here in the heart of Saanich’s Maplewood neighborhood. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the details that make our cottage feel like a countryside retreat — a cozy, cottage-style design, soft natural light, and a peaceful garden setting that invites you to slow down and breathe.
We’ve styled the space with warmth and comfort in mind, so you feel instantly at home. The atmosphere is one of quiet elegance, blending old-world character with all the modern touches you need for a relaxing stay. Whether it’s curling up with a good book in a bright corner, enjoying a leisurely breakfast before heading out to explore, or simply sitting back after a day of adventure, the cottage offers a sense of calm that’s rare to find so close to the city.
What guests often tell us they love most is the balance — our home feels like a private escape, yet it’s just minutes away from the best of Victoria. You can spend the morning wandering through historic neighborhoods, beaches, or vibrant markets, and the afternoon tucked away in the tranquility of the garden. That mix of accessibility and retreat is part of what makes staying here so special.
For us, it’s also about the feeling the space gives you. There’s something timeless about a cottage that feels connected to nature and history, and we wanted to bring that to life here. From the cozy layout to the thoughtful details, we’ve created a space that’s not just somewhere to stay, but somewhere to really experience.
If you love charm, comfort, and the feeling of being both away-from-it-all and close to everything, our cottage offers the best of both worlds.
