We stayed for 6 days in this lovely old house, very old world charm with great food and hospitality. A very quiet and peaceful place to relax and let the world pass you by. I loved the large sunny sitting room complete with coffee/tea and biscuits plus fridge and microwave should you so need it. Derek and Egle were so... More

Staying at the Oak Bay Guest House in Victoria was like staying at my mother's- comfortable, friendly and delicious. The rooms were clean with an old Victorian feel. The place is quiet and is situated in a quiet and stunning neighborhood. We ran each morning to the ocean and nearby park before breakfast. The breakfasts were appetizing and fulling. This... More

My mom and I spent 5 nights at this guest house in April. It was a really great place to be - Derek and Egle are incredibly friendly and accomodating. The house is clean and comfortable, albeit old (part of the charm), and the food was absolutely fabulous and we were always full to bursting when we left with our... More

We stayed at the Oak Bay Guest House for 1 week in late March/early April. This was our fourth stay and once again we highly recommend it. We stayed in the Romance room which has a sitting room off the main room, great for reading with a glass of wine or a cup of tea when you're not out doing... More

My husband and I just spent three nights at the Oak Bay Guest House and recommend it highly. The building is loaded with character and feels very homey. Our room (Duchess) and ensuite bathroom were spotless as were all the public spaces we used (living room, dining room and sun room). Our room was right next to the comfy book-filled... More

We stayed at the Oak Bay Guest House in February for 2 nights. This was our second time and much preferred it to the first time. The first time we stayed it was in August and the room was very hot despite a fan ( which was quite noisy ). The room was comfortable and clean and a nice size.... More

We chose this guest house as a convenient location for visiting the University of Victoria; it will be our first choice for accommodation from now on. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, the comfortable bed, the good food and all the little extras provided by our hosts which made our stay special. Our son, who coincidentally is a student at... More

A gorgeous house with some wonderful history and fantastic hospitality. My partner and i stayed here in Victoria's low season and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We're sad we only had one night in the area, as we would've happily stayed for two or three. The sun room full of books and games was a fantastic place to relax, and has... More

My partner and myself had the opportunity to stay at the guest house for 10 days. Our stay was amazing, the owner left nothing out and it was the best place we have ever stayed for any of our vacations. I would highly recommend the Oak Bay Guest House to anyone staying in Victoria for any length of time. Service... More
