| The Lotus is located
directly adjacent to beautiful Stadacona Park.
The park is home to a protected Gary Oak grove,
winding paths, open grassy fields, and countless
flower beds. There are also four tennis courts
and a children's playground on the far side
of the park, perfect for your Victoria BC furnished
accomodation.
Just across the park from The Lotus is Stadacona
Centre, with a grocery store, shops, restaurants
and cafes. Stroll fifteen minutes further east
and you come to the quaint Victorian neighbourhood
of Oak
Bay, with its specialty shops, antique stores,
and famous tea house where you can get traditional
English tea.
One of Victoria's best beaches, Gonzales Beach, can be reached by walking 20 minutes down historic St. Charles Street. St. Charles runs through the exclusive neighbourhood of Rockland, and is a beautiful walk past grand old mansions and their grounds.
Head west from The Lotus and you reach downtown
Victoria in a leisurely 20 minute walk. The
Historic Market Square and Victoria's Chinatown,
the oldest Chinatown in North America, are not
to be missed. Victoria's thriving outdoor markets
are also on this side of downtown. Walk several
blocks along the water to the south you will
reach Victoria's Inner Harbour where you will
find many of Victoria's popular tourist attractions
such as The Empress Hotel, The
Royal BC Museum, and British Columbia's
Legislative Buildings.
