This is truly a beautiful venue and added so much to our weekend retreat experience. Comfortably accommodated 16 of us. Everything was perfect. Janet was there keeping everything flowing smoothly and we all came away feeling that we'd spent a few days in paradise. :-)

Perfect spot for a retreat

This home has a beautiful location high on the water of an inlet. It feels very private and the home has lots of indoor and outdoor spaces for large groups.
There is a dock on the water with kayaks and a canoe. There is a trampoline and plenty of parking. The only downside to this property is the location. It is a 20 minute drive north of Victoria on a very busy highway. The driveway is very steep with 5 switchback hairpin turns. A 4 wheel drive is best as we had a challenging time getting our mini van up the steep, gravel/dirt improved driveway.
The home is well designed in a Pacific Northwest architecture and furnishings.


Beautiful Serene view of water, and a large usable home for family gatherings.

Morningside Estate is located right on the Saanich Inlet—an extremely serene and scenic setting. When you look across the inlet, you get an unobstructed view of Gowlland Tod Provincial Park (no sight of buildings or any type of development). The deck that wraps around the house is very pleasant and allows you to easily enjoy the peaceful surroundings—there are chairs and tables nicely laid out that are perfect for meals, conversations, reading etc. We spotted seals and eagles, and had a relaxing time watching them from the deck. 

We got lucky with the timing and had the entire estate to ourselves (at low season rates!). We stayed 3 nights in the Master Bedroom as bed & breakfast guests and thoroughly enjoyed it. The master bedroom was clean, very spacious (1000sqft), and private (located upstairs on its own)--it has 2 decks (front and rear), a fire place, large jetted tub, steam shower and more. We tried out the sauna which was a nice treat after a day of hiking in the rain. The rest of the house and the other suites were also well done and matched what you see on their website. The estate also has an outdoor pool, garden etc, which are all listed on their website at www.morningsideestate.ca (I’m including their web address because it’s a bit hard to find). 
 
Breakfasts were excellent—healthy and balanced with variety each day (ie. fresh fruits, muffins, eggs, bacon, waffles, cereal, yogurt etc). 

Janet and Gerry were friendly and generous hosts. The reservation process was straightforward. Ours was a last-minute booking and we made our reservation directly with Janet via email. 

It is a great option and good value for a variety of occasions (family reunions, weddings, friends/couples retreats, group/corporate retreats, bed & breakfast). I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a scenic retreat with the comfort of modern amenities (ie. jetted tubs and down duvets) or for an alternative to hotel accommodation in the Greater Victoria or South Vancouver Island area. The location is unique in that you get to enjoy a private and beautiful setting, yet if you need a restaurant or a pharmacy (ie. you forget your toothbrush), it’s not far—about 15 minutes drive to Langford; about 20 minutes drive to downtown Victoria; about 45 minutes drive to Sooke Harbour.

serene seaside hideaway tucked in a scenic fjord

Morningside Inn is my top choice for our next family reunion… or wedding.  Hosts Janet and Gerry welcomed us with genuine warmth and delight.  We watched eagles soaring and fishing across the bay without another house in sight – serenity.  
With 6,000 square feet of  living space, 6 luxurious bedrooms plus lofts, 7 bathrooms and acres of  land, there’s a spaciousness feeling;  always a spot for a quiet talk.   Janet and Gerry’s passion for gardening shines and they’re happy to give a tour; exploring garden paths past waterfalls, exotic flowers, palms and pecans...  
As a water lover, I enjoyed not just the dock, swimming pool and Zen overflow tub and hot tub, but watching the koi in pools inside and out was a treat too.   
I’m not a cook, but the sparkling new kitchen would delight Julia Child, so my sister, “the chef “ will be tickled.
