Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our home is an 8-10 minute walk to bus stops, a shopping centre with grocery store, restaurants, pharmacies, coffee shops, and banks. Closeby are many walking trails, a community pool and gym and public tennis courts. Within 20 to 30 minutes driving or bus you can enjoy the world famous Butchart Gardens or travel to downtown Victoria to explore the wonderful museum and many other tourist attractions. Whale Watching and ocean fishing are favourite attractions. A trip to Vancouver can be made using the ferry system or float planes. Our home is conveniently located close to the highway to travel downtown, to the airport, ferry terminal and also to travel north to explore Vancouver Island. Guests could enjoy our home and city without a vehicle by using public transit. However, a vehicle would be beneficial.
