This is a wonderful house in a great neighborhood, quiet but not far from the highway. The beds were comfortable, and the patio decks provided a perfect spot to relax, giving you the feeling of being out in the forest. You’re a short ride to downtown Victoria, where you can visit the museum or the provincial capital grounds. You’re also close to Butchart Gardens and the Butterfly Gardens. Take time to drive to Sooke Potholes Park. We did, and we were rewarded with watching salmon run up river to their spawning grounds, and seeing a black bear come to the shallows to do some fishing of his own. We also took two full days to go to Port Alberti, where we visited the stunningly beautiful Stamp Falls, and watched a seal play in the river by Paper Mill Dam. A second day was spent visiting the town of Chimanius and seeing the murals on public buildings, billed as the largest community art project in the world. And after that we hiked the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet. It truly was breathtaking. This was our first trip to the island, and our AirB&B house was a perfect place for us. Can’t wait to come back.
