The Experience

Have fun with Westfalia campervans that are for rent as well as housekeeping for airbnbs and playing with cats and kittens. Everyday there is something new. It really helps a lot if you have experience driving a standard shift vehicle as well as a knowledge of cleaning. There are a lot of details in cleaning such as operating a vacuum cleaner, washing floors and making beds etc. Minimum 2 months!

I really enjoyed my time with dianne the guest house. her place is beautiful and had plenty of amenities. it was also in a great location that made exploring the lovely city the guest house super easy! the work was fair, and not very difficult, though there are no real set hours of work, but that didn't really bother me much. dianne made me feel very welcome and i enjoyed hearing the stories she shared of her life and the travel tips she had for me. i was able to meet lots of people by volunteering here, and was a great learning experience tackling tasks that were new to me!

The name "the guest house" couldn't be more true! If you want to expolore Victoria and all it's beauty this is the right place for you. In exchange for a fair working schedule you get a great accomodation, a fridge full of food and a perfect location just 5-10min away from Downtown and the ocean.. Working for Dianne was so much fun and you get so many chances to meet new people! I would definitely come back, and wish Dianne all the best - Thank you for everything :))

Dianne has created a little paradise for travellers the guest house middle the guest house and is a great host too. There is always something to do (housekeeping, cleaning, gardening or helping out with the cats and campervans) and lots of details to take care of. That's why I recommend staying at least 2 months or even longer! The work is fair and there is plenty of time to explore Victoria and the surrounding area. All in all, I had a wonderful time with Dianne and would come back any time. Thank you so much!

You just need to have initiative and good eye for details. Dianne, is one of a kind. She has amazing life stories and she will take you to stunning hikes and show you how beautiful Victoria is. The location is superb, you are 5 to 10 minutes away from all the cool places around. Definitely a memorable experience, i would come back for sure! Thanks for recieving me in your home♥

Dianne was a great host with an amazing property. Flexible days allowed me to explore Victoria bicycling around with amazing views which Dianne was more than accomodating to. Close to downtown and super accessible an excellent stay overall.
