V	Vienna Watt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really enjoyed the new exhibit on the history of sewage and water in Victoria. Maybe not the #1 museum in Victoria, but a solid #2.
F	Francois Villeneuve on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Terribly disappointed with the afternoon tea. It used to be great now it’s a rip off. The food was excellent but terribly expensive for the very small quantity and it was served in the entrance/info area. It used to be outside on the lawn with real tea in hand made covering. There would be butterflies and kids would run around a play crickets the service was then done by ladies in nice period dresses. Now it’s outside catering and it’s served in the entrance. Not the same at all. I didn’t bother to revisit the house afterwards. For the price of the tea one would think they could complimentary include the house tour but no it doesn’t… The whole point was to be in the Victorian gardens having tea. There is not point doing tea in a generic tourist attraction entrance. Sad to see this once very nice tea in the garden having gone wrong.

B	Beatrice Toner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The house and gardens are a must-see. The exhibitions are beautifully put together and reveal stories about Victoria's history that wouldn't otherwise be known. The gardens are a beautiful place to spend time in, and return to often as the seasons change!
D	Darren Findlay on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful house with a very interesting story, it’s very rare to have a house in the same family for so long and to have so many of the families items still there is absolutely amazing. Beautiful green oasis and in industrial area. Well worth the visit for a Victorian or someone interested in historic houses.
G	Glen Greenwood on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful historic home, gardens and great staff who went out of their way to accommodate a special request. Highly recommended and well worth the visit. Don't let the location fool you, this museum is an oasis for history lovers.
L	Linda Holland on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Point Ellice House is a beautifully preserved piece of Victoria history and is a truly unique treasure located on the Gorge Waterway very close to downtown. What makes this home so unique is that it remained in the hands of the same family for three generations with all of it’s original contents and without any substantial redecorations. What you will see, including the wall paper, the fixtures, the furnishings, and the china, is all original and covers the period from 1890 through 1920. It provides a rare opportunity to see one of North America’s largest collections of late Victorian and early Edwardian objects in an original, untouched Victorian home. It is now a National Historic Site and well worth a visit. If you make advanced reservations, you can have afternoon tea in the garden.
R	Regina Akhankina on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For history enthusiasts! For locals and tourists! For fans of Victorian epoch! For anyone who’s fascinated by interior design! This place is a hidden gem! It’s so worth visiting! Pictures from the phone don’t do any justice to this stunning place! Staff is beyond amazing! They literally walked extra mile for us today. Guide was so lovely and extremely knowledgeable. Price is more than reasonable. Find the time to check this place! For high tea reservations are needed! Would love to come back!
