    The only downside was the noise from the next-door and upstairs people. The plumbing pipes were very noisy when the people next door or u upstairs had a shower,

    The location was very good and the cleanliness was too

    Things I was annoyed were not really owner/hotel’s problem. -The road access was really complicated with the construction. Sometimes you have to take extra 5-10 min of wait or go long way around. -the tenant downstairs smoked right underneath of my window. As the accommodation doesn’t have air con, my window was open all the time and it got my room stink. - the dishwashing liquid and toilet paper wasn’t “ready” for my 3 nights stay. However, they fixed it quick. So, thank you!

    The room was comfortable, and everything was clean. Staff response was amazing.

    I think the description that the property offers direct beachfront access is somewhat misleading as it is a 8 min walk down a public road with a crossing of a fairly busy community road before you get to the beach.

    The facilities and appliances in the room very clean and modern though I would have appreciated a coffee maker

    The main road leading to the property had been under construction and closed to traffic for the past month. After unsuccessfully trying to access the property from a few directions, I called the hosts, but their English was so limited they were unable to help at all. We did manage to find a way to get there, but was not impressed by this lack of communication. The unsightly and malodorous overflowing bins in the parking area were very off-putting.

    Very comfortable well-equipped suite with a nice view in a lovely quiet location. The little back garden was beautiful, complete with a bunny visitor. The location was perfect: a quick walk to either UVic or the beach.

    I had an amazing stay at UVic’s Ocean Peak House! The place was spotless, very clean, and incredibly comfortable. The hosts were exceptionally kind and welcoming. They even allowed me to check in much earlier than expected since I arrived ahead of schedule, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free stay!

    Very odd and abnormal to have a plate glass window 6' x 3' in the bathroom overlooking the bed and sitting area?? We had plastic bags that we sealed with toothpaste to provide some privacy. This could be an easy fix to add privacy!!

    Bed was comfortable

    This “Gem” as mentioned in the reviews turned out to be a disaster for us!!! Finding this property was totally ridiculous!! They mentioned the road and entrance to the property was under construction however they failed to advise us how to get to the OPEN side to get to the property!!! It took us 2 hours to find it and only because we were helped by a stranger walking his dog who had a flashlight!!! When it was finally found we were only able to bring up our backpacks because we had to walk up the 10+ slippery dangerous rock steps WITH ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHTING!!! What’s the matter with the owner! We are 76 and 73 years old!! We could have slipped and fallen on every step!!! No railings either! There was also no directions to us finding the door to get in!! Again no lighting!!! We would NEVER recommend this room to anyone. We had no choice but to stay there because we didn’t get into it till 10:30 pm and we had no where to go at that time. THERE WAS NO CONSIDERATION TO OUR SAFETY!! Sad, sad, situation!!

    The bed and the shower was all we used.

    The location was great, with Uvic right out the back gate. Getting around by bus is also easy, but note that it is a bit of a walk uphill from the bus, which is challenging with luggage. The suite is great, and the washer and dryer are a real bonus. Very bright and clean.

    Not the property's fault, just unlucky that Sinclair road was undergoing heavy construction during my stay. Made getting into and out of the property a tad bit inconvenient (would've been worse if I came with a car)
