• clean and modern accommodation in a park-like setting,
• the traditional sense of a 'bed and breakfast' - a healthy, hearty, hot, home-cooked breakfast, and warm and helpful hospitality,
• an economical, yet more personal, alternative to large-scale lodgings,
• a location that is quiet and scenic, yet within easy reach of all that Victoria has to offer.

Arbutus Hill Bed and Breakfast is located on five acres atop a wooded hill on the outskirts of urban Victoria. On a clear day, Mount Baker is visible to the east, rising above the hills of Cordova Bay and the San Juan Islands. Our bed and breakfast is located about midway between downtown Victoria and Butchart Gardens: 8 km from downtown, 5 km from the gardens in Brentwood Bay. We are located about 30 km (30 minutes drive) from Swartz Bay Ferry terminal north of Victoria. There is no public transportation close to our B&B. (See our location map.)

Arbutus Hill Bed and Breakfast uses environmentally friendly, biodegradable products for cleaning and bathroom supplies. Laundry detergents for our linens and towels are non-toxic and free of dyes and perfumes. As well, our breakfasts are made from mostly organic, farm-fresh local ingredients to reduce our carbon footprint.

Arbutus Hill Bed and Breakfast can be your headquarters for your Vancouver Island explorations. There are many fine restaurants closeby, pleasant walks in the neighborhood and hiking in scenic parks that dot the Victoria region.

Whether you want to savour Victoria's world-famous attractions or prefer a road less-travelled, we will help you get the most from your Vancouver Island stay.
