Bear Mountain Refuge

The room itself was more or less like a hotel room. It is part of a home in the housing area of the district of Bear Mountain. The Bear Mountain area itself is more or less isolated and there is really no area to walk to for a coffee, meal or really any sort of shopping. The golf resort itself has very little to offer. The location is a nice residential area, which was quite quiet. This room is a located at the side of their property on the lower level, with above ground windows. The sitting area outside the door is really a couple of seats behind a retaining wall decorated with plastic plants, so that is not really comfortable. We spent three nights. We did not meet the host, the key was left outside on a table, and the parking is on the street in front of the room. It has a coffee maker, c/w coffee, cups, pwered milk and sweetner. There was two small bottles of water in the mini-fridge. There were two wine glasses. The most awkward aspect is there is no sink other than a small bathroom sink to wash anything like your coffee cups, wine glasses or anything. There is really no temperature control for the room, other than a small freestanding heater and fans. The TV is wall mounted beside the bed, which would be very difficult to even watch if you wanted to. The bathroom has a shower (no tub) but lots of nice towels and two house coats. It was fairly clean, the bed and linens were ok. Overall it is just not a comfortable place to hang out and relax, but it was fine to sleep.

This was a lovely, clean, and well-appointed space. There were some nice touches that made it special. I would recommend for a safe and easily accessible space in a quiet location.

Great location, easy to access. Check in was extremely smooth. Place was beautiful, well looked after and in a great area. Would not hesitate to book again.

Lovely room, clean, quiet and comfortable. Well stocked, and private.

This place was amazing. Great location and a beautiful drive up to it. Neighborhood was super safe and very quiet, and about a 20 minute drive to downtown Victoria! The room was absolutely amazing and was extremely well stocked with everything we needed (lots of towels, coffee, robes, toiletries, and even a hair curler!!) - I had to include the hair curler because I have never been to a place with one and it felt so personal and extra. The hosts were extremely kind and responsive and I would stay here time and time again.
