Birds of a Feather Victoria Bed and Breakfast - recommended in Frommer’s 2008 Vancouver & Victoria Travel Guide, and selected by CIBC Adventura Travel Rewards as one of Canada’s top 10 B&B destinations - is a nature lover’s nirvana located on Victoria’s west shore next door to the Hatley Park National Historic Site, with a micro-climate that gives it the warmest winter temperatures anywhere in Canada! The grounds include Japanese, Italian, and Rose gardens. Hatley’s diverse environment includes mature conifer forest, Gary Oak meadows and salt-water wetlands. Tourism BC inspected accommodations, warm hospitality, and unique amenities welcome you to our "Nature’s Doorstep" West Coast DESTINATION.

Victoria enjoys a moderate year-round climate. Our golf greens are in fact green in the winter and we sail our boats year round. Summer, Winter, Fall or Spring … Victoria is Canada’s playground for all seasons.

WATERFRONT (with plenty of free parking):Our backyard is a 120 acre lagoon, connected to, but sheltered from, the Pacific Ocean. The lagoon is designated a Migratory Bird Sanctuary and is ideal for safe canoeing, row-boating and kayaking; boats and mountain bikes supplied free of charge. We are surrounded by the Historic Fort Rodd Hill, the 1860 Fisgard Lighthouse and the Hatley Castle & Gardens. All of this is nestled amidst 600 acres of old growth forest and accessible by walking / hiking, canoeing, kayaking or cycling from our doorstep. Free use of our private dock, courtesy boats and mountain bikes are also included. Mile after mile of west coast beaches and hiking trails are set against the back drop of the snow-capped Olympic Mountains which tower over the shipping lanes of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.       

Our house has been purpose built as a bed and breakfast in Victoria to accommodate both honeymooners and families with children. The Family suite is at one end of the building and the Honeymoon suite is at the other far end with lots of space and room #2 (adults only) separating them. We have also gone to exceptional lengths to sound-proof everything.

Whale watching in the summer months and bird watching in our mild winter months emphasize the year-round appeal of this destination rich in natural & historic beauty.  We are the envy of the rest of Canada during our annual flower count in February.  We invite you to allow yourself at least 4 days - ideally 5 to 7 - to step into another place and time to re-discover Victoria  through the eyes of the locals - we live here!

Birds of a Feather B&B is in an ocean-front nature setting 15 to 20 minutes by car around the other side of the outer harbour from downtown - in fact we can easily see the buildings from here. Many of our guests choose us expressly for that reason.

Some visitors might, however, prefer bed and breakfast accommodations in the downtown area, in which case it is our pleasure to highly recommend Ross and Sylvia’s Fairholme Manor Bed and Breakfast
