This is a gorgeous house with spectacular views and truly kind hosts. We especially loved the game room. The only downside for us was the remoteness. You can't get food delivered or an Uber to pick you up. If this isn't important to you, then this place is perfect.

Postcard Perfect View

We had a fabulous family reunion/vacation at “Above it All”. The home was perfect for a large family - everyone was able to have a private bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen had everything. The extra amenities were fantastic - a guitar and a piano to play, telescope and binoculars, lots of board games, toys for little kids, and a karaoke machine! The hosts were great and super helpful. Cath shared great tips and local places to visit and activities to do. Thank you Cath! Highly recommend staying here if coming to Victoria, BC. I hope to come back!

Like a dream

Several family members from across North America met in Victoria for my daughter’s graduation, and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The house was spectacular and provided the perfect combination of private spaces and places to socialize. The views from every room were spectacular. The game room provided hours of entertainment and the endless supply of children’s toys and equipment helped the young mom of the group relaxed. The hosts were so kind and helpful. They provided everything we could need from coffee to beach towels and inflatables for the nearby lake. Literally there is nothing I would change about this stay (other than it had to end). I highly recommend this location for anyone with a large group.
