Derek’s place is exactly what the name implies – an idyllic break from the hustle and bustle. We just loved the location, the stunning views and the tranquillity. The cottage is as advertised, cosy, well-appointed and very, very comfortable. We spent hours watching various birds and enjoyed spectacular sunset vistas. The cottage is also a very convenient location for exploring all that Sooke has to offer including great walks, river swimming and beaches to explore all the way to Renfrew. We highly recommend Derek’s place and would love to stay again.
