Modern Carriage House on 5 Wooded Acres

The modern Carriage House sleeps four comfortably. There is a queen Bed in the master and two singles in the second bedroom. A full stainless steal kitchen is ready for Gourmet meals with fresh BC fruit and vegetables bought from the farmers markets or sea food bought directly from the fisherman's boat. A wood burning stove in the living space is wonderful to cozy up to in the evenings and enjoy a glass of wine or a good book. A covered balcony over looking the beautiful property is the perfect place for your morning coffee and evening cocktail . Sitting on the deck down at the pond you may see an abundance of wildlife. Deer, fish, blue heron, bald eagles, mink, and numerous feather friends have been spotted many times. Certain times of the year the pond is nice to swim in . If you are up for a challenging hike, the property backs onto a lush undisturbed forested area with a beautiful creek. You may be able to make the short hike up the stream to the small water fall, but you are going to get wet.

We will be back!
Absolutely loved our stay at Cedar Hollows. Felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We were travelling with our toddler (3) and baby (8months), and it was perfect for us! Tara was ways quick to respond and a fantastic host. The property is beautiful and our toddler loved watching the goats and having a wander around the pond every day. Kitchen was incredibly well equipped with everything we needed and super cozy beds. 100% recommend!!

great place to stay
Very private and well stocked with everything you need, great location, wonderful hosts. The property is quite large and very well maintained, the hosts accommodated EV charging at no extra costs. The property is in a farm setting yet the air is very clean with no bugs at all or extra noises. Thank you for the hospitality, will come back.

A true oasis. Great property and great hosts.
Inside, the flat is modern, very comfortable and well appointed. Outside is a serene environment, perfect for strolls by the pond or to visit with the goats. The balcony, overlooking the garden and forest, is a perfect place to relax.

Excellent Place!
This place was excellent! The lodging was comfortable and felt like home away from home. The location is great as it’s out of the city but close enough to most locations on mid and South Island. The owners were great and the property is lovely. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A perfect place for a relaxing vacation.
We found Cedar Hollow to be very charming and comfortable with everything we needed. The property was lovely and made for a very relaxed holiday. It was easy to find our way around and would love to visit again. We also want to thank Jamie for his recommendation on whale watching. We went to Ocean Ecoventure In Cowichan Bay and had a wonderful experience with a captain that was very knowledgeable who made it fun and educational.

Perfect escape from the city.
My family and I stayed in the Carriage house while attending a weeks worth of family wedding events in Saanich and Victoria. Although we were about 30-40 minutes away from our events, it was well worth the drive. The cottage was a perfect getaway from the busyness of Victoria and gave us something to look forward to at the end of our busy, wedding event filled days. The views were outstanding including thick woods, flowers, deer, horses and goats. The owners of the home did not engage with us unless we sought them out which made the rental feel even more private. The house was cool despite the hot summer climate and the deck was, by far, my favorite place to be; in the morning with my coffee and in the evening with my glass of wine. We will certainly consider this location again when we return to Canada.

Cosy carriage house on a lovely property
Our family really enjoyed staying at the carriage house. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully functioned for breakfast and dinners. It was nice to be able to wash our laundry before we left. Beautiful property. We saw deer in the yard every day we were there. And would enjoy a nightly coffee on the balcony. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Only downfall for us was the TV has very little channels. Which wasn't bad for us, but for our young daughter when we were cooking supper it would have been nice. Overall a nice property and Tara and Jaimie were great to deal with.

Fantastic!
My family of 4 (2 kids 11 & 9 yrs old) & I had a wonderful stay. The carriage house was comfortable, well equipped & impeccably clean. Tara & Jamie were friendly and helpful. They made us feel welcome. My boys enjoyed checking out the goats & horses & the freedom to check out this beautiful rural property. We enjoyed visiting a few of the local wineries & lakes. We would highly recommend staying at this property & to anyone who asked.

The property is clean and new. It had everything we needed.
We ended up staying an additional night because it was so nice there, and there is so much to do in the area. We could have stayed two weeks and still not experienced all that is available. Hopefully we can stay again soon.

Perfect location; perfect hosts
This is such a beautiful property and our hosts, Tara and Jamie, couldn't have been more welcoming. The carriage house had everything we could ask for and the surrounding property was perfect for a relaxing stay. We even had a very friendly encounter with the goats and horses. We will definitely return to the island and we would time our visit based on the availability of Cedar Hollow.
