A Float Home B & B in Fisherman's Wharf

A floating home moored at Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria, with two guest rooms — Poppy and Ivy. Food kiosks share the dock, and seals, otters and herons work the water around it. The Inner Harbour, downtown and the Dallas Road waterfront are each about a ten-minute walk, and water taxis run from the wharf in summer.
