Victoria's moderate year round climate makes it the perfect destination for those looking to enjoy a milder summer or winter. You can enjoy year-round golf at several fine championship golf courses. You can take in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Feb 21 to Mar 1, 2009 at the new Save On Foods Memorial Centre or catch a play at one of Victoria's many theatres. Experience an Imax presentation at the National Geographic Imax Theatre or see a big blockbuster at Tillicum Centre's Silvercity. Visit the world famous Butchart Gardens (if you are lucky enough to be here in December their Christmas Lights display is amazing!) or have afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

You can also take advantage of the many excellent pubs, restaurants and art galleries that Victoria offers. Enjoy Victoria's unique shopping experiences, take in the Provincial Parliament Buildings, the Royal BC Museum , walk the inner harbour or the local ocean beaches or stroll through the quaint neighbourhoods around the downtown core, all within 20 minutes from the Bedford Guesthouse.

If you are looking for recreation, the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre is only a quick 7 minute drive from the Bedford Guesthouse. This facility has an excellent pool, a fully equipped drop-in fitness centre, a 9 hole par 3 golf course, outdoor tennis courts and (for the more energetic) a 1.5 mile chip jogging trail. In addition, for those guests who qualify, there is a 55+ activity centre with a wide range of programs, activities and social events for your enjoyment.

The convenient location of the Bedford makes it an excellent jumping off point to explore the rest of Vancouver Island which offers everything you could want, from quaint towns, farming country, wineries, unspoiled beaches and serene lakes and rivers to name a few. If you have time, go and explore some of the fantastic up Island parks (Cathedral Grove, Pacific Rim National Park, Strathcona Park) or enjoy some of the many other Vancouver Island attractions.
