We were so lucky to find this place after my original booking got cancelled. For the reasonable price, I was prepared for something a little under par- and all dog owners know how hard it is to find nice places to stay. How pleasantly surprised I was when we pulled up to our new home for 3 days. Our Nest was just lovely - full kitchen, spacious living area (yes, low ceiling, but none of us are over 6 feet); bedroom was lovely and comfortable. And the gorgeous bathroom! What a treat.
To my added delight, I was able to book the main house apartment unit for my daughter, son-in-law and 2 year old granddaughter who were travelling with us. They loved their space too, but spent all their time in our apartment - joining us for meals, and just sitting outside enjoying the outdoors. So wonderful to have fenced area for our dog - although Wendy's dogs are sweet and friendly. Granddaughter didn't know what to think about the farm animals - but they were quiet and well behaved - no one waking us up at the crack of dawn. Little granddaughter enjoyed the swings and toys around and met Wendy's grandson River. Proximity to the town of Sooke was nice too.
All in all, I'm glad the other place got cancelled and we found this one. Wendy is lovely and made us feel so welcome. Can't wait to return. Highly recommend this place, especially if you have little ones. (Also should mention, the sofa bed was very comfortable - you don't hear that very often.)
