The Lodge at Weir’s Beach

I stayed here with my partner recently and it completely exceeded our expectations. The lodge was beautiful in a gorgeous setting and right on the beach. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean and there was a fun living room with tons of games, movies, books and things to do inside, but the best was outside. There was a fire pit just steps from the ocean as well as a hot tub with an ocean view. The kitchen was fully stocked even with a spice rack so we could cook things while we were there. We had a very affordable small-​ish room with an ocean view and it was so perfect waking up listening to the sounds of the ocean. The town itself is small and rural, mostly a farm town, but the people are all very friendly and there is a great pizza place and restaurant down the street. Metchosin is about 35 – 40 minutes from downtown Victoria so having a car (rental or bring your own on the Ferry) is probably a good idea. The owner of the lodge is a wonderful lady named Marg who is friendly, funny, helpful and full of interesting stories. She also teaches yoga and does massage there upon request. It would be a great place to go for a retreat too for a group of people. The two of us actually had the place pretty much to ourselves because the other people who were supposed to come missed their ferry over so it was certainly an added bonus to have that much space and privacy. There is free WiFi and a phone you can use too, which comes in handy when you are coming from another country like we were and had no use of our cell phones there. We would definitely go back and we plan on it!
