Many of our guests described our location as great or perfect.
We are about:
• 8 min walk to Cook Street Village
• 10 min walk to Beacon Hill Park
• 15-20 min walk to Downtown Victoria, Inner Harbour, Dallas Road waterfront, Government House, Craigdarroch Castle, and many other attractions
• 7 min by car or 15 min by direct bus to Royal Jubilee hospital
• 30-40 min by car or 1 hour by bus from Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal
• 30-40 min by car or 1 hour by bus from Victoria International Airport
HISTORY:
This large three-level Craftsman chalet-style heritage manor was designed in 1912 by renowned Canadian architect Samuel Maclure for a prominent local businessman who was well known for his involvement in the prohibition movement, his church community, and his role as president of the YMCA.
Over two decades ago, the manor was thoughtfully converted into seven self-contained suites. Each suite is uniquely designed with its own character and personality, ranging from efficient studios to spacious two-bedroom accommodations, all featuring private kitchens and bathrooms.
Formerly known as Trutch Manor Suites, the property was, for many years, one of Victoria’s beloved bed-and-breakfast destinations. Today, it continues its tradition of hospitality as a family-operated boutique neighbourhood hotel under its new name, “Larkspur Manor Suites.”
The name “Larkspur” was chosen to pay homage to Victoria’s reputation as the “City of Gardens.” The larkspur flower, an old-fashioned bloom that comes in many beautiful shades, is often associated with love, affection, happiness, strong bonds, and a pure heart. We feel it beautifully reflects the spirit of our manor — warmly welcoming guests from all walks of life to create meaningful memories, whether visiting for a special occasion, a relaxing getaway, work, or time reconnecting with loved ones.
Since becoming the owners a few years ago, our family has been honoured to continue sharing this special heritage manor as a comfortable and welcoming home away from home for those visiting and working in Victoria.
OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:
As the building was constructed in 1912, there may be creaks and squeaks on the floor or stairs which are to be expected from this vintage of building.
If you appreciate buildings with characters and old world charm, then you come to the right place.
This suite is on the second floor (the top floor) of building. There are stairs to the building and to the suite, (sorry no elevator), and it is not wheelchair accessible. As such, it will be challenging for those with mobility difficulties.
The bathroom is an ensuite, which is in the bedroom.
The couch can be pulled out into a double bed, not queen size bed.
Our posted rate is for double occupancy. Each additional guest after 2 is $45/night.
Laundry is in the basement of the building, free of charge. There is a set of stairs going to the laundry room right across from the main entrance of the building. Laundry hour is between 9 am - 8 pm.
We have motion sensor security cameras on the outside of our building which stay on during 24/7. One at the main entrance, one on the side of the building above the gate, one near the fire escape at the back of the building, one above Unit 7 entrance, and one on the garage facing our parking lot. We do not have any recording devices inside the building or in any of the private spaces.
Sometimes my 7-year old dog, Cosmo, a medium-size Labradoodle, stays with us. You may see him play outside in the courtyard. He is super friendly. However, if he sees you for the first time, he may bark at you. If you are nervous around dogs, please let us know and we will limit his presence outside.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
My daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights and thoroughly loved our stay. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and a short walk to a grocers, coffee, and restaurants. I was participating in an event in the inner harbour and it was about a 15 minute walk, which was ideal. The apartment had everything we needed- a comfortable bed, a kitchen with all the cooking supplies, a nice little living/dining room area. Checking in was very easy with extremely clear and helpful instructions. The host checked in on us over text to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all it was a lovely stay in every way and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I will be recommending this place to others as well.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
This suite is very charming, clean and well appointed. The heritage home is beautiful with very welcoming gardens and patios. The location is excellent, very walkable to downtown and offers plenty of off street parking. A great home away from home for our family's Deuce Days adventure.
