Your
Inkeeper
Lorraine Nygaard-Ishizaki has been the owner of Cottage Pirouette Bed and Breakfast since 1996, and prior to that, was a partner in Cafe Pirouette in Tokyo. While hosting the B & B, she is also involved in fitness. We welcome you and look forward to serving you soon! Japanese also spoken.
Cottage Pirouette bed and breakfast has been green since the day we opened, and that's because Lorraine has been an environmentalist-at-heart for as long as she can remember. She was a member of Esquimalt Environmental Advisory Committee, and in addition, has worked on such projects as Way To Go, helping Esquimalt's Macaulay school win a BC award for their "Walk To School" practices. As a cycling instructor for Bike to Work Week, she has made an effort to get more folks out, safely and confidently on their bicycles, in the Victoria region and beyond.

Jam and Toast are our friendly cats, but tend to be outside, or hiding
from guests. If you have allergies, please be assured that they don't
go into guest bedrooms. These furry hosts quickly recognize who the "cat
people" guests are, and provide the optimum amount of purring, when
coaxed.
