About this property

Farm Vista Guesthouse

Tranquil fields & open skies in rural Victoria farmland! 2 bedroom 2 bathroom guest home on a rural 3 acre hobby farm. The main bedroom offers a queen bed and features a full 4-piece ensuite and walk-in closet. The second bedroom also has a queen bed with the second full bathroom right outside your door. The kitchen includes full sized stainless steel appliances (fridge, stove, microwave and dishwasher) and opens to a large private deck overlooking fields, trees, seasonal crops and open skies. The views are majestic with ocean, fields, trees and farmland providing a picturesque background everywhere you look - words can't do it justice. At night, the quiet and darkness provide the perfect setting for star gazing.

Cozy up in the living room for some board games or a movie on the Smart TV; enjoy the symphony of birds, crickets and tree frogs as you chat around the patio table on the back deck; take a stroll along the country roads and trails right outside. Whatever you decide, this rural retreat with leave you with that peaceful down home country feeling.

Despite seeming miles from civilization, Saanichton village is a 15 minute walk away - here you’ll find shops, groceries, restaurants and more! We're less than a 10 minute drive from Victoria International Airport, 15 minutes from BC Ferries Swartz Bay Terminal and 20 minutes from downtown Victoria, and if you're a health care worker or visiting family ay Saanich Peninsula hospital, were a 4 minute drive away. Nearby attractions abound and include the world famous Butchart Gardens, beautiful Sidney by the Sea, Island View Beach and more!

About the host

Hosted by JT

Host profile image
Hi, I’m JT. My wife Heather and I recently purchased a hobby farm on the outskirts of Saanichton, a rural community on the Saanich Peninsula in beautiful Victoria. We gave up the hustle and bustle of city life, big box stores and traffic jams to pursue our dream of living the farm life...the idea of a small acreage and privacy that comes with it was very appealing to us.

As a former pastor, I value the importance of both the local and global community, and Heather and I share a vision of creating an atmosphere that welcomes all visitors. By day, I am a sales and marketing manager for a local custom home builder and in my off-hours I run a local artisan coffee roasting business, 7 Cities Coffee Roasters - and yes, the coffee you'll find in the guest house is freshly roasted. Heather is a part time grade 2 teacher at a local elementary school. When not at work, she enjoys farm life, being a mom and has a passion for creativity. She is always game for a new recipe, crafting idea or art project. In fact some of the art you'll enjoy can be found decorating the walls of our guesthouse.

While we are just getting started, we look forward to continuing to develop our little hobby farm and hope that you enjoy wherever we're at on our journey during your stay. And depending on the season, we'll be happy to share some of the fruits of the land for you to enjoy. While you're here, please don't hesitate to wander up for a chat if you see us out working in the fields...and if you fancy rolling up your sleeves, we have lots of spare gardening gloves and tools!

Why they chose this property

From the moment we first turned onto Newman Rd, we knew we had found our dream location. The views as you drive down to our property are stunning - wide open farmland surrounds us and the elevation provides sweeping views of the Salish Sea.

What makes this property unique

Our hope is that when you arrive at our vacation rental - whether you're in Victoria for work or play - is that you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet that accompanies our little haven. We hope you'll appreciate a bit more privacy than the typical laneway home or backyard cottage, as our guest home is located at the far end of the property from the main home. We know it's much easier to fully unwind when you're not feeling that you're invading someone else's space. Welcome to your home away from home!
