Wish we'd had more time!
It was such a lovely spot with so much to do and see, I wish I had more time to just relax and enjoy everything on the property! Our dog loved it just as much as we did! He got to be off leash and make new friends and explore so much without us having to worry. It was a lovely getaway! We'll definitely be back

It was so nice to be able to bring my dog somewhere where she could be free to explore and get her sniffer full. And it was pretty nice for us humans too. Very special place. But the host does not exagerate about the stairs and the hill down to the pond. . If you have

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.

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!!

Delightful, divine elegance with so much to do & enjoy
How can I even begin to describe the extravagance of this place. It was incredible. It is very clear the hosts love what they do and take great pride in their property. I have never stayed in anything near as ornate and incredible! The decor and amenities are top-notch, just above and beyond. It's stunning, from the suite to the property grounds to the lagoon to even the little things, the TINIEST of details was covered. It has everything you need, it's a resort property with a cozy 'bnb feel. And of course the lagoon is beyond amazing. All aaaalll the things were there. Everything you need here is provided for. You don't even need to leave or do anything else but enjoy the space here. What an absolute treat to stay here It was the ultimate finish to our vacation on the island. ❤️

Wonderful Energy!
What an amazing stay! There were treats waiting for us and we were well cared for and welcomed by Bruce.The decor is uplifting, giving a positive energy - in large part to the incredible gong gracing the living space. There is plenty offered outside with a fire ring, spring fed pond, forest trails and a hot tub. What an awesome experience you offer your guests, thank you.

Adair Spring break trip
We arrived in the pouring rain and yet Joanne was outside to welcome us and ensure we knew where to park to best suit the front door access. We were thrilled when we walked in, the photos didn’t do the property justice as it was so much better than we had imagined it was going to be. Our coffee and baileys on the couch overlooking the wooded backyard quickly became a morning ritual - it was such a peaceful way to start our day! The muffins, cookies, fruit and juice was an added touch as were the other little things that made us feel very comfortable in our ‘home away from home’. We would really love to go back in the summer months to utilize the beautiful pond; it was very inviting. Thank you Robert and Joanne for giving us a place to ‘break up with stress’, now we start dreaming until next time.

Beautiful property, excellent hosts!
I recently stayed in the Gong Suite for three nights, and it was a wonderful experience. The room was clean and very comfortable, and the hosts were friendly and helpful. The highlights for me were the pond and nature trails, which provided ample places for me to walk and exercise my 5-year-old pup. If you are in the Metchosin area, Hidden Pond is the place to stay. I definitely am planning to return next year!
