About the host
Hosted by JT
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!
