The VIEW is awesome. We watched whales and birds and sun risings and sunsets all from the sofa. The food in Sooke is amazing. Even better is the organic yogurt and the granola supplied by your host. The refrigerator was full of good food. The location is awesome too. Along the road are a few beaches. They are spectacular as well as the hike through the forest to get to them. We travel a lot and definitely rate this place high on our list for the money. It was clean and comfortable too.
