I am writing this to warn everybody who wants to stay at this place
when we arrived there you pull up in the driveway to see a tarp on the roof of the the house. Our cab driver goes to the door this girl in sweat pants tank top and slippers answer to "Yeah" I ask my boyfriend I think we are at the wrong place but sure enough we were at the right place. We explain who we were and she said she wasn't expecting anybody thank god my boyfriend printed out the e-mail from there manager Fadre our stay was confirm and we had a wine tour confirm by the manager on that same day. This girl was so lost she tried to call her manager but she wasn't answering her phone but she reach some guy about the wine tour and she said that we could go on it tomorrow. She shows us our room I thought I was going to die, dirty smells like mold the furniture had dust all on it wires sticking out all over the place
They had a glade plug in the bathroom that needed to be change months ago open the drawers in the bathroom filth it takes 20 min to get hotwater in the bathroom. Later that day Fadre arrives she didn't even intorduce herself to us she said there willl be no wine tour they don't do it on mon and tues which happen to be the days we were staying there I ask her why she would confirm a e-mail stating she book it with us I got no answer. There are so dumm and confused that they do not even know how to run a bed and breakfast brochere they have is a lie the pictures dont match what the inside looks like you ask them a question about victoria where to go they get a phone book and some scratch paper even for a taxi they have no business cards of victoira in that house and shows you that Victoria is embrassed to give them anything

Please I hope this review put a complete stop in suggesting to stay there your visit will be ruin

My husband and I had planned on staying here as part of our honeymoon in BC but changed our minds when we arrived at the property. Though the staff was very kind and understanding to us and the location itself is more of a very low 3 star hotel, I felt that other honeymooners should be aware of a few things before booking.

First, the property does not advertise that it is a private home or even a bed and breakfast on their website. That was not going to work for us as we had large bags to carry to our room which was not accessible unless we walked through the entire house to get to.

Second, the room was nice but did not have any views unless you walked outside to the patio in front of it and to be honest, it smelled a little moldy in there more than likely because of the hot tub and the sauna located in the room itself.

Third, the parking was not convenient at all. You can't really back out of there unless there are no other cars in the lot itself and the driveway is extremely narrow.

Fourth, the location itself is very nice on top of a hill surrounded by other homes but it is still at least a 20 minute drive to the downtown area which you can easily get around walking.

If you're going to Victoria, I suggest you stay at the Marriott Inner Harbour or any other hotel close to downtown. We ended up there instead and it was wonderful, clean, and convenient!

My husband and I stayed at this resort in late May of this year. We were very dissapointed that both the pool and hot tub were broken for our romantic weekend and we did not find out until we got there, and we were offered no discount because of this. We stayed on the main floor by the breakfast area (Mountainview Room) and it was very noisy, so maybe book an upper floor room. It is a really cool location, incredible view, but the owner needs to put some money into some patio furniture, fix the patio doors, put some flowers in the overgrown planters, put in a gas fireplace we could use, and to keep it cleaner. The windows were too filthy in our room to see out of, as well as the common kitchen area (especially the utensils and glasses and in the drawers). I was not sure our rug had been vacuumed, to be honest, before we checked in. I would return for those changes, and pay accordingly for the view with some true luxury.

I recently spent a long weekend at the Mountainside Luxury Resort. What a wonderful experience. It is a small bed and breakfast with very personal care, thanks to the house manager, Victoria. She ensured every detail of our stay was perfect.

Mountainside is near the top of Mt. Tolmie and the view from my spacious private deck was amazing. I had a 180 degree view of Victoria, the harbor, mountains on one side and hills on the other. The first day I arrived, I spent most of the day lounging on that deck, wine glass in hand, taking in that glorious view, watching the cruise ships come and go in the harbor.

The entire house was clean and quiet. The king-sized bed was so luxurious I never moved once I got in it. It's like sleeping on a cloud. Perfect for a relaxing weekend.

I would, without hesitation, recommend Mountainside Luxury Resort for anyone travelling to Victora for any reason. I would particularly urge anyone wanting a romantic retreat to choose Mountainside. You will never want to leave!
