Don't overlook this gem - Gavin and Gae are delightful, low-key hosts who start your day with astonishing breakfasts and then provide accurate information to launch your Victoria adventure - regardless of nature - to resplendent heights. Ambrosia - in this one visit - instantly became one of our favorite all-time B&B's. In addition to the hospitality, the rooms (we... more

My husband and I stayed at Ambrosia for 3 days in June/July. The first night, Gavin for some reason upgraded us to the Ambrosia suite (awesome!). It was absolutely gorgeous. Stunningly decorated, very comfortable bed & sheets, the jacuzzi tub is luxurious. The tiles in the bathroom warm under your feet twice a day. I really love this bed and... more

The Ambrosia was our first bed and breakfast experience and we are now hooked. Everything from the breakfast to the room couldn't have been better. We were greeted at the door with a smile, had a brief rundown of the lay of the Inn and then left to enjoy it while always knowing any question could be answered just by... more

We were graciously met at the door by the Owner of this Gorgeous Bed and Breakfast. A warm welcome and look around told us this is THE place to stay. The location is perfect for those who love to stroll to the water front adventures or the beautiful park a few blocks away. Our host was very helpful in directing... more

We had never stayed at a B&B outside of our home country (Brazil) and it was a amazing surprise after almost 24h journey to Victoria see what was waiting for us. The room was beautiful and warmly waiting for us. Next day was another surprise with the gourmet breakfast! What an experience we had with Gae and Gavin and others... more

May 27, 2008

Great place, easy walk to Victoria's attractions, very comfortable with good bed and the spa, oh so relaxing (and not feeling guilty using all that water as we would at home in Australia). Great people, Gae & Gavin could not do enough to make our stay memorable, and the breakfasts, excellent food and company. We would recommend Ambrosia to any... more

Stratford, Ont
May 22, 2008

We have been fortunate to travel often and usually choose up-scale inns or B&B's. The Ambrosia may well be the best overall that we have encountered. It is well located to all the attractions in Victoria. The home is delightful and immaculate, beautifully furnished without the "fussiness" often encountered. The breakfasts are sensational and the hosts could not be more... more

This should be BREAKFAST and Bed! Three courses of homemade dishes (melt in your mouth croissants - yum) and a good hour of conversation with your fellow guests! A great way to start the day. Gavin and Gae at Ambrosia were fabulous! Our room was beautiful and cozy - perfect for our weekend getaway. Our hosts made some great suggestions... more

We stayed at the Ambrosia for our Anniversary and from the moment we arrived it was fantastic. Gae and Gavin made our stay outstanding from the excellent gourmet breakfasts to local tips for eating out and sight seeing. The room was very clean and the bathroom was great (we stayed in the Ambrosia Room) - way more than you would... more

We just spent a few days in Victoria at the exquisite Ambrosia B&B - from the moment we walked in the door until the sad day we had to go back home, both Gavin and Gae were the perfect hosts. The decor is simple and cozy, our bed was ridiculously comfortable, and the jacuzzi tub for two was our favourite... more
