"A letter from Janet and Heinz Mayr of London contained a glowing recommendation for Fairholme Manor; which they describe as "a wonderful, newly opened bed and breakfast apartment in the lovely Rockland area of Victoria" with a "beautiful" one-bedroom suite the Mayrs say will sleep four comfortably. "

"This outstanding historical property has an ocean and mountain view and is adjacent to government House and its exquisite gardens. The owner, Sylvia Main (a former concierge at The Empress Hotel), treats her guests like royalty and serves a breakfast second to none. She was most helpful and knowledgeable regarding non-tourist-like restaurants and things to do and see in Victoria."
