Victoria BC Bed and BreakfastVictoria BC Bed and Breakfast -Gingerbread Cottage B&B
1905 Heritage Duplex DesignThe Gingerbread Cottage is one of Victoria's fine heritage homes that has been converted from a duplex to a great example of one of the many fine bed and breakfasts Victoria Canada. Built in 1905 with Arts and Crafts type architecture, it is a rare example of an early "side by side duplex" home.
Street view of the Gingerbread Cottage.
Quaint Victorian heritage design with Irish Glazed Pan tile roof and copper trimmings. Home was built in 1905. Being of duplex design provides great zoning for bed and breakfast rooms as there are 2 separate stairways and entrances. The guest rooms themselves benefit from the sound dampening "party wall" which separated the two houses and the lack of traffic on the stairs. As well the deluxe room comes with a private hallway to provide further privacy and sound control.
View at Dallas Rd 1/2 block from the Cottage with 2 cruise ships in port. The close proximity to the ocean, in one direction, and the Inner Harbour and Victoria's downtown make the Gingerbread Cottage an ideal location to holiday, sightsee, rest-up or walk to your work or conference.
Victoria Inner Harbour a short stroll from the Gingerbread Cottage in the other direction. Victoria is famous for its romantic Horse carriage tours

Vanessa von Schellwitz is a gourmet chef who came to Victoria, British Columbia from her home in the culture filled city of Salzburg, Austria.

Vanessa von SchellwitzComing to Canada from Salzburg Austria, Gingerbread has been a big part of my life since early childhood. Gingerbread has a long history, since medieval times it has been used because of its ability to stay fresh and wholesome for long periods of time, thus making it possible to take on early voyages and pilgrimages. Today, I own and operate the Gingerbread Cottage, Bed and Breakfast in Victoria British Columbia Canada and work with my favorite Austrian foods- Book your stay today!We hope to hear from you!
