A lovely beautiful Victorian home
I enjoyed my stay in this cozy studio suite. It had everything I needed. The location is fantastic. Tom was very responsive to a small issue I had at the start on my stay. I would highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay
The studio apartment was a great place to stay during our vacation. It was comfortable and quiet and the location is fantastic. It’s a short walk downtown and to the waterfront.

Everything one could ask for!
Charming and helpful hosts! Attractive room with a very comfortable bed (lovely sheets)! The kitchen had everything one could need. The location was perfect! Steps from Dallas Road and walks along the ocean. A few short blocks to groceries, a great restaurant (Heron Rock Bistro) and the inner harbour. We would definately go back!

Very conveniently located, lovely Heritage Home Suite
Every interaction with the very welcoming homeowners went smoothly. A very conveniently located suite approx. 5 houses down from the ocean ( Dallas Road) with amenities such as Thrifties, The James Bay Inn, the lovely Beacon Hill Park and quaint coffee shops near by. The owners have thoughtfully stocked the suite to accomadate visitors like ourselves who were on the go constantly, just basically looking for a place to rest up in the evenings, and get ready for the day ahead...

Why they chose this property

This home is located just steps to one of the most enjoyable strolls along the ocean, with the view of the majestic Olympic Mountains of Washington State as a backdrop. Being located in James Bay, it is accessible to all amenities, either by walking, biking, or by car. The "Loth Lorien Studio" is attractively decorated including antiques, and has all modern amenities for a comfortable stay in one of Victoria's beautiful Heritage Homes, originally built in 1893.

What makes this property unique

It was love at first sight when we saw this house, curiously named "Loth Lorien" on the address plaque. Built before the turn of the 20th century, this example of late Victorian Queen Anne style, stands tall and quiet near the ocean, a location that was just perfect for us when we moved here three years ago. Now it's our home, and we are happy to share it with people who appreciate this heritage character, yet can enjoy modern convenience indoors.
