4.2 km from Royal Roads University, Illuminati Guest House is a recently renovated property set in Victoria and offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and parking on-site. Each accommodation at the 5-star bed and breakfast has pool views, and guests can enjoy access to a sauna and a hot tub. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the children's playground, or enjoy views of the garden and inner courtyard. This was unique place in very good way. Staff was superb, amenities were great (even if I didn't have time to use most of them) and their dog was the cutest. Would definitely stay here for longer and will next time in Victoria.

Tofino Paddlers Inn is set in Tofino, within 3.1 km of Tofino Botanical Gardens and 10 km of Radar Hill. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.2 km from Tonquin Beach. I loved it! My room was adorable and the bed was super comfortable. Even though there were only two bathrooms, I never had to wait, and the bathroom was really nice. The house overall was very clean, had a pleasant temperature, and smelled great. The kitchen had everything you could need and an amazing view. The location was also excellent. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Tofino in the future.
