We had the most amazing time at Coles Bay Vacation Retreat! They are the most lovely couple who care so much about their guests experience. We arrived in the wee hours of the morning on a late flight and they were so accommodating, meeting us on the driveway to give us a tour of our place. They were also up in the morning preparing the most delicious breakfast of our choosing from a wonderful selection of menu items. They even catered to my gluten free needs! It was a quiet comfortable stay and was only a 6 minute drive from the airport!

The hosts were very accommodating to our late arrival. They also provided an excellent breakfast in our room the next morning - my wife had a delicious omelette and I had the “Dutch Baby”, so good! We stayed in the Library Room, very comfy and cosy. Close to Victoria Airport. I highly recommend a night or romantic weekend here.
