Grand, castle-like, vine-draped building impresses, as does the Old World elegance within its walls.

Hotel pool hits the spot when you need to cool off or swim it out.

Convenient spot surrounded by shops and restaurants, an easy drive to the Trans-Canada Hwy and downtown Victoria.

These digs are entire 2-bedroom apartments, decked out with everything from private balconies to fabulously-outfitted full kitchens.

Free WiFi? Yup.

Refreshing style is inspired by the surrounding rainforest.

Free parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

Lots to do and see nearby: lighthouse, downtown Oak Harbor, Fort Casey and more. (Ferry service for off-islanding.)

Free breakfast to keep hanger at bay.

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.
