Doug is an incredible host and local that will let you know all the amazing things to do around Sooke. His homestead is situated just past a brand new bridge, close by East Sooke park, and the view from your bedroom is incredible. Dont make the same mistake I did and make it down the hill with your car, if it doesn't have AWD.... very difficult to climb back up the gravel hill without some traction! but thankfully doug was able to help me out. Would love to be back again!
