Victoria BC bed and breakfast guest book
We meet so many wonderful people who come to our Victoria BC bed and breakfast. Operating a B&B has many rewards. It is a privilege to be a part of the creation of happy memories. We were reading through comments in our guest books and were quite overwhelmed by all the kind comments so want to share some with you.

Here is a summer 2006 review:
"My wife and I spent two nights at the Gazebo B&B on our first trip to Victoria together. We have enjoyed the stay immensely. Here are some things we found of note:
- excellent food
- professional, courtieous, and helpful owners
- very nice rooms and common areas with up to date ammentities (excellent bathroom fixtures, internet on-site, etc., videos available in rooms)
- excellent gardens
- beautiful decor
- very, very quiet
- centrally located
- very safe (well lit at night)
- excellent signage (easy to find)
We would highly recommend this B&B to all!"
