Cottage Pirouette is just a 5 minute
drive from the heart of downtown Victoria, close enough to be
convenient ... yet in a quiet residential neighborhood called
Esquimalt. Your cozy B&B is next door to the English Inn and
Resort, the perfect wedding location in Victoria, B.C. Macaulay
Point and Fleming Beach are less than a 5 minute walk away, where
you can enjoy walking trails, rock-climbing, and incredible views
of Juan de Fuca Strait and the Olympic Mountains. For cyclists
in Victoria, the Galloping Goose Trail is nearby. The West Bay
Walkway is an amazing option to get to downtown Victoria ....
a harbour-hugging boardwalk that will refresh and energize you.
The bus stop is at the front door, with buses going to town every
30 minutes. The ride is under 15 minutes. Leave the car at our
roomy location, and let someone else drive you through the sites
of fantastic South Vancouver Island!
How to get here:
From Downtown Victoria, go across the Johnson
Street Bridge (the blue bridge) which will put you on Esquimalt
Road. Proceed straight for about two miles, and turn left at Lampson
Street. Pirouette is on your left side, right after the English
Inn and Resort. Approaching from the Victoria Airport or BC Ferries,
use Highway 17, exit on Mackenzie Ave., turning right onto McKenzie
(west). Get into the left-hand lane, and turn left at Glanford
Ave., get into right lane, and turn right on Tillicum Road. Follow
Tillicum for about three miles, go through the lights at Craigflower,
and Tillicum will take a one-block shift to the left and become
Lampson. Follow Lampson for about two miles. Pirouette is on your
left side.
Bus:
If you're downtown, you can catch either the #25 or #6 bus from
the corner of Douglas St. and Yates St. From the ferries, catch
a #70 to town.
