Great for the whole family! Relax back in our large, cosy guesthouse that’s big enough for the whole family, and supplied with all the amenities, including heat/air conditioning, washer/dryer, large tv, and wifi; to name a few. Large decks overlook duck ponds and pastures of grazing cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and turkeys. The view from the deck over neighbouring farms is second to none. The area is well know for its diverse bird population- from Owls and eagles, to herons and sparrows. A bird-lovers paradise. Our home is the perfect escape from the city, yet 5 min from the airport, ferries, and Town of Sidney - a charming seaside town with everything from breweries, fine restaurants, museums, and cinemas, to great shopping! We are a 10 min walk to the Pat Bay beach, which is warm and swimmable in the summer, and has the most amazing sunsets anytime of year. We are surrounded by amazing hiking trails and parks. Perhaps one of the most breath taking aspects of our area is the The Gulf Islands National Park. You can access some of these Islands by ferry, or we can arrange a private boat charter upon request. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 accessible parking spaces - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68350000/68348700/68348625/5f2442aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private large up to 4 bedrooms waterfront suite,pet friendly. \*Long Term Rates North Saanich - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 86 reviews £216 includes taxes & fees 1 Dec - 2 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-01&endDate=2025-12-02&selected=68348625&PinnedHotelID=68348625&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102020000/102011000/102010913/ba46c4ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### FireThorn Manor: Spacious, well appointed 2 Bedroom Garden Suite with King Bed.
