Tomorrow, wake up refreshed with a spa-like shower with our organic and local rosemary mint bath products in your luxurious marble rainfall shower, then cook up a delicious brunch on the gas range in your fully-equipped kitchen, to the sounds of your favourite tunes playing from our bluetooth speakers.

Come pamper yourself and enjoy an unforgettable stay in BC's capital city in this professionally designed, west-coast inspired retreat! *Pool and hot tub can be subject to closures with no notice 🏗️ NOTE: They are building the Telus Gardens next door, so please expect some construction noise. 🌿COMMITMENT TO LOCAL & SUSTAINABLE We care about our planet and community - that’s why we are proud to provide all-natural and organic bath products, and local coffee, supplied from small-scale distributors based right here on beautiful Vancouver Island. We also provide plant-based and biodegradable dish and hand soap from Canadian-based The Unscented Company, and we refill all containers in an effort to reduce plastic waste. Finally, did you know that most toilet paper in Canada comes from our beautiful boreal forests, a lot of which is old growth? To avoid contributing to this deforestation, our TP is 100% recycled with 100 % plastic-free packaging. Thanks for helping us make a small difference! If you’d like to learn more about our products or where you can purchase some for yourself, don’t hesitate to reach out :) *BN: 00041884

Loved our stay in this apartment. Everything was just as described. The tea/coffee and bath items were a nice touch and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely stay again.

Empress shores has got to be one of the most thoughtfully appointed airbnbs we've ever stayed in. comfortable but uncluttered, clean and bright but still cozy, a deep soaker tub and a rainfall shower? yes please. the location was perfect for walking to high tea at the Empress hotel and enjoying a misty stroll around the harbor, and later on to an amazing dinner. the check-in instructions were so clear and detailed, and laid out in a way that made sense. We would absolutely stay again, and will be keeping it on our list for future Victoria trips.

Robyn’s place is in walking distance of everything. The local YMCA is a 10 min. Walk. Full weightroom w/ cardio and full court basketball court on the 2nd level, the 7/11 downstairs is 24hrs., Cora’s is across the street. Parliament building u can see from the balcony. My kids enjoyed the outdoor pool and hotub as well at the residence. Lots to see in Chinatown and walking up and down Douglas. Need at least a week stay here to see most stuff. People walking around all the time. Felt great. Her living space was just right for me & my x3 kids. Adults too convenient. Everything u need is in the unit and if u can’t find something, Robyn is messaging u as soon as she’s available for a solution. Great host. Great place. My whole family left with smiles. Will have to stay again. The Starbucks for breakfast across the street was just so accessible. 5 stars ⭐️ for Robyn’s place. Everyone must try. 😁

We had a wonderful stay at Robyn’s place. Everything was as described and the place was easy to find and check into. Especially liked the security of the building. We would definitely recommend Robyn’s place to anyone visiting Victoria! Thanks Robyn!
