Our door is always open to guests.
And we're the "old school" type... drop-ins are welcome anytime. Well, almost anytime :-).
Address:
1000 Burnside Road West, Victoria, BC V8Z 1N3 (Google Maps Link)
At the corner of Burnside and Grange (kitty corner to Marigold Elementary).
Four cars can easily fit at the top of our driveway. But be cautious -- the driveway steep, on a double-yellow, and very near the intersection. You may wish to park beside the house on Grange and walk up the side steps.
Other nearby parking:
If the driveway is busy, there is usually a spot beside the house on Grange (on gravel, room for 2 or 3 cars).
If we're having a party, there is lots of nearby parking:
- Parallel parking by Marigold school, on Burnside or Grange.
- Parking lot on Grange near the Galloping Goose (a dozen public parking spaces)
By Bus, Bike, or on foot:
- Bus stops for the Route 22 are right outside.
- Stops for the frequent service Blink Route 95 are 12 minutes' walk away, at the Admirals/McKenzie interchange.
- The Galloping Goose regional trail is less than 200 metres away.

Address:
1005 McKenzie Avenue, Unit 419 (Google Maps Link)
It's easy to drive by the main driveway of McKenzie Avenue (see it here in StreetView). The most reliable entrance is here, off Saanich Road onto Annie Street.
Keep in mind when leaving or arriving, that it's a double-yellow on McKenzie at that point. Left turns are only permitted when non-obstructing of other traffic. Consider entering and exiting via Annie Street.
Doorphone code: 570
Phone: 250-216-0398
PARKING:
- Visitor parking is at the southeast corner of the parking lot (Google Maps Link) - follow the signage and lane markings.
- Double-check the stall marking -- it must read "VISITOR".
- There is some on-street parking on Annie Street, but be sure you're outside the fence.
- If you're staying overnight, I have one overnight guest parking pass (can borrow more, if needed).
- For parties / poker nights / etc: the building curfew for sound is 11pm. Thankfully, we can still be normal volume after 11pm... well built building :-).
Hope to see you soon. :-)
