Our home is located in funky Fernwood just two blocks from Belfry square which is home to art galleries, a theatre and several fine restaurants and coffee shops. We were recently written up in the New York Times as one of the most interesting areas in Victoria. Check it out at http://www.nytimes.com
We are a short walking distance,from the inner harbour. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and features many fine heritage buildings. It is located on Vancouver Island which is home to the Orca whale as well as many fantastic hiking trails and surfing beaches. We are also one beautiful ferry ride away from Vancouver, a major urban center.

We are a lesbian couple who have been together for twenty-five years and love our life in Victoria with our Bouvier Joop and our little Victorian house. Dieuwertje, (60) was born in Holland and Frances, (55) hails from the Canadian praries but we both have grown to love the West Coast. Dieuwertje is an artist/woodworker who designs builds and installs custom gates passageways and furniture for the out of doors. Frances is a certified Sommelier who works at Zambris the best Italian restaurant in town. She also runs the business and writes for the website. We share a passion for architecture both in the home and garden and would love to explore other cultures.
