Arbutus Cottage is a wonderful place to stay for some R&R. The peacefulness of the cove is just what we needed. The Gallopping Goose trail passes right next to the property and is a wonderful way to stay out of your car for a day. You can walk into Sooke and bus back if the return is too long- or bring bikes! Many excellent parks to explore and hike in the vicinity. Kathy was easy to communicate with. We will come back!
