Casablanca
An exceptionally sunny space with comfortable queen bed and private bathroom with pedestal sink and shower. To one side are latticed windows facing the domed Parliament Buildings over a cosy nook with jacuzzi  tub for two and to the other is a sitting area with TV/VCR and CD player. French doors invite you to a private sundeck high above the garden with a view of mature trees, the snowy Olympic mountains to the south and the Sooke hills to the west. A curved staircase descends to another deck and finally to the garden below.

A second room  features a single and double bed (ideal for laying out clothes or sleeping extra people). Latticed windows around a sitting area offer a splendid night time view of the illuminated Parliament Buildings and the horse-drawn carriages that clip clop down our street. The exceptionally large bathroom  features a romantic air-jetted jacuzzi tub for two, a wall of stained glass windows and a spacious tiled shower for two.

Southside Room
Although smaller than the other guest rooms, this cosy jewel has a queen bed, 12 foot ceilings, TV/VCR, CD player, telephone and hardwood floor. An unusual feature is the bathroom with century-old pressed tin on the ceiling. Just outside the door is a large sundeck with comfortable chairs by potted geraniums and handsome balustrades above a garden full of flowers, herbs and fruit trees.
