A lovely retreat with an amazing James Bay location in the very heart of Victoria. This beautiful Heritage Home was designed in 1896 by locally famous architect Samuel Maclure. The home has been restored to its original splendor while adding many modern comforts such as heated tile floors, gas fireplaces, sunken patios and lovely gardens. Each suite has it's own private entrance and private 4 piece bath. The city is at your doorstep. The home is a short walking distance to everything from Beacon Hill Park, the Royal British Columbia Museum, and National Geographic's IMAX theatre. The picturesque Inner Harbour, Parliament Buildings, Empress hotel and shops & restaurants are just one block away. We strive to offer our guests a private and quiet escape in the center of everything wonderful that Victoria has to offer.

Hi there. I'm Cindy and I've had a passion for both archicture and travel since I was a child. I always knew that creating interesting homes would be a big part of my life. I fell in love with The Robert Porter House the first time I walked into it. It makes me very happy that I can share this unique home with people from all over the world. I hope you love Victoria and The Robert Porter Inn as much as we do.

James Bay is one of the best locations in Victoria. Beacon Hill Park is right across the street from The Inn. It's our largest urban retreat with lovely ponds and gardens. Visit the parks children's farm, where there's also a petting zoo. On the opposite side of the park you'll cross Dallas Rd to the beaches along the pacific ocean. Great for runners, cyclists, roller blading or simply walking along and enjoying the spectacular view. To enjoy a more local street scene, make your way to the Cook Street Village (a short 5 min drive away). Follow Southgate street to the Cook street shops, pubs, restaurants, markets and cafes. Less touristy than downtown Victoria, this area will be a pleasant surprise. For a larger selection of restaurants, bars and shops you can also walk to downtown Victoria. Either way, you won't be disappointed.
