Visitor Accommodation General Info

Situated in picturesque Gordon Head, the University of Victoria is only 25 minutes from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, 20 minutes from the Airport and Downtown Victoria. The campus is ideally situated to enjoy numerous outdoor activities. Relax on the sandy beaches of Gyro Park; hike to the top of Mount Tolmie; enjoy a jog along the alumni chip trail or ride your bike to Mount Douglas Park.

Throughout the year Craigdarroch Guest House offers accommodation in 7 hotel style suites. Due to limited availability, reservations for Craigdarroch Guest House should be made well in advance of your arrival date.

From May - August each year Residence Services opens its doors 24 hours a day and welcomes visitors to stay in single and twin Dormitory rooms, Bachelor Apartments, or 4 bedroom Cluster units. The money saved by staying on campus allows visitors the freedom to enjoy the multitude of festivals and attractions Victoria has to offer during the summer months!
