Garden Oaks Fine Accommodation
Furnished Accommodation for Lease over 90+ Days
Centrally located on the people-priority greenway known as the Oaklands Rise Woonerf our suites are spacious, fully equipped homes, typically rented for longer term. With utilities and a range of amenities included (from free Wifi to tableware and linens) a residency with Garden Oaks Fine Accommodation represents an extraordinary value in Victoria's rental marketplace where costs have more than doubled for many owners.
Ideal for those in Victoria as a base for extended medical treatment, academic or work projects/locums, film productions or just helping our with family care, you'll find a neighbourhood welcome that is sure to ease your stay. Our long-stay suites are furnished; one is partially furnished with character built-ins. These one and two bedroom suites offer residents unique spaces to make a home. Two suites include an additional study/office. Photos are found in the links below.
We do keep a waiting list, so don't hesitate to let us know of your needs.
In compliance with B.C. governmental regulations we do not accept reservations classified as Short Term Rentals.
We welcome "snowbird" and longer term reservations over 90 days in support of health care, film and theatre productions and educational terms in Victoria. Often a stay of a few months turns into a residency for 1-3 years, the longest now for over 10 years! Much depends on availability and the needs of prospective renters.
Reservations of not less than 90 days may be arranged via AirBnB or VRBO. Photos may also appear on other sites despite that our listing is not actively maintained. If you have any questions, please contact us directly. We are not liable for online advertising that is out of our control.

Allergies in the family, and among our resident community, mean that we are unable to accept pets. John jokes that he lived with a setter, three labs, a manx and a siamese for 27 years...then moved for university and discovered breathing! We are proud to offer housing that supports the health needs of our community. We do understand the challenge of finding pet friendly accommodation and regret that we are not able to help. No smoking of any substance is permitted on the property for the enjoyment of all.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to let us know your housing needs.
