Very relaxing and enjoyable stay

Our suite was very large, with all the amenities we could need. There were nice little touches such as cookies and muffins left for us. The location was great for what we were looking for- lots of trails and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay

My wife and I just recently stayed at Hidden Pond for our 10th wedding anniversary. Everything was wonderful from check in to check out, our only regret was we had planned several activities in town and couldn’t spend more time on the property. If you get the opportunity, we highly recommend!!

Amazing getaway

We had so much fun at this great getaway. Our granddaughters swam, explored, picked and ate blueberries and blackberries, made homes for frogs. And in the evening when we were tired there was plenty of room for them to lounge and watch their favourite tv shows.

Perfect setting!

This is a very peaceful setting, just a short drive from Victoria. Nestled in a forested area, there are walking paths, a delightful pond and ample opportunities to just sit and enjoy the quiet. Jo-Ann was a great host and provided “extra” thoughtfulness to make our stay even better. We will definitely make a point to return!
