"At your home we found the ideal location to launch our adventures – kayaking, hiking, cycling and discovering Victoria. We will surely return to your little part of paradise."
Anne and Laurent, Montreal Canada
Sooke is located approximately 35 minutes from Victoria, British Columbia, and is the gateway to the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Outdoor activities abound with hiking, biking, kayaking, scuba diving, whale watching, golfing, sailing, swimming, fishing, birdwatching, and beachcombing to name a few.
Fine dining is available a short distance away at the Sooke Harbour House, 17 Mile House, and Point-No-Point Restaurant.
You can also visit the Blue Raven Gallery and other artist's studios, the Farmer's Market, go souvenir shopping, swim or hike at the Sooke Potholes Park, East Sooke Park, Juan de Fuca Trail, West Coast Trail, and Kludakh Trail. In the winter, San Juan Ridge offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Or, for a true West Coast experience, go beachcombing at French Beach, China Beach and Botanical Beach.
Sooke's performing arts community stages events year-round, ranging from theatre to rock, choral, jazz and orchestral concerts.

"It was great to be able to launch our kayaks right here on your beach. We were particularly thrilled to meet one of the local seals!"
