The Lodge at Weir’s Beach, Victoria BC

The Lodge at Weir’s Beach (a 25-minute drive from downtown Victoria) is a natural spot for a knitting retreat! It is exposed to the south-east, which is where the prevailing storm winds come from, across the Juan de Fuca Strait all the way from Washington. In its own little bay with a walk-on sandy beach, the interior of the Lodge is also ideal – several fireplaces, enclosed decks and comfy couches make knitting and storm-watching a delightful way to rejuvenate yourself after the holiday season and the winter ‘blahs’. Come and join us for a great get-away!
