To enhance your visit, we've compiled a list of our favorite local spots for dining, relaxation, and exploration. Here are some recommendations:

  1. Local Dining Options:

    • Brentwood Resort Pub and The Arbutus Room (2-minute walk): Nestled next door, the Brentwood Resort and Spa boasts two delightful dining options. The Arbutus Room offers exquisite fine dining and delightful breakfasts, while the Pub presents a hearty full menu, including exceptional sushi. Both feature stunning patios with marina and bay views.
    • Sea Horse Cafe (3-minute walk): A charming spot right on the dock below the Mill Bay Ferry, known for its inviting atmosphere and delectable breakfasts, especially on Sundays.
    • Zanzibar Cafe (15-minute walk): Indulge in unique flavors and creative dishes at this local gem.
    • Brentwood Bay Brewskys Taphouse (20-minute walk): A perfect pick for pub-style cuisine and great value.
  2. Brentwood Resort Spa (2-minute walk): Just a robe's walk away, the spa offers indulgent treatments with access to an outdoor pool for guests.
  3. Butchart Gardens (25-minute walk/30-minute paddle): A world-famous floral paradise, Butchart Gardens is a must-visit, offering stunning displays year-round. Enjoy spectacular summer fireworks or the magical Christmas Light display and outdoor skating in December. While the gardens are the best place to experience the fireworks, our dock also offers a remarkable view.
  4. Public Transport (top of our driveway): The local bus service, though infrequent, can conveniently connect you to the ferry, airport, and downtown. Plan your journey with BC Transit at BCTransit.com/Victoria/schedules-and-maps.
  5. Mill Bay Ferry (3-minute walk/1-minute drive): A scenic alternative to driving, this ferry route often treats passengers to sightings of whales, porpoises, and seals. While not a time-saver, it's a tranquil way to bypass busy highways. Check schedules at BCFerries.com.
  6. Downtown Victoria: Explore the city's culinary scene, stroll along the picturesque walkway in front of the Legislature, and visit the renowned Royal BC Museum for a dive into local history and culture.
