The Oaks Guest House is nestled at the end of a quiet cul de sac in the garry oak meadow of the prestigious Rockland district of Victoria. Our neighbours include the Lieutenant Governor whose lovely gardens are open to the public from sunrise to sunset and historic Craigdarroch Castle, built by the controversial 19th century coal barron, Sir Robert Dunsmuir. You might have seen the castle in movies such as Little Women or on Famous Castles of America. It is a 15 minute walk to Gonzales Beach, historic Ross Bay Cemetary where witches are reputed to celebrate, and the beautiful Strait of Juan de Fuca. Downtown Victoria is a 25 minute walk or a 5 minute drive or bike ride. Here you can enjoy the Royal BC Museum, the beautiful inner harbour, the Parliament Buildings of British Columbia, the National Geographic Imax Theatre, the Empress Hotel (for high tea), and lots of wonderful sights and shops. Restaurants and pubs abound! From Highway 1 or 17 proceed south to Fort Street. From the MV Coho terminal or the MV Princess Marguerite terminal proceed east to Douglas Street and north to Fort Street. Turn east on Fort Street and proceed to St. Charles Street. Turn right (south) and proceed to Rockland Avenue. Turn left (east) and proceed to Patly Place (second right). Proceed to The Oaks at the end of the Street. 1751 Patly Place.
