We just spent 4 nights at A Garden Hideaway in Sooke and it was fabulous. Caryl and Ian made us so welcome, and also gave us our privacy - a delicate balance, and so well done! The apartment is beautifully decorated yet incredibly comfortable, and has absolutely everything you could need (and then some). The garden is lovely and we so enjoyed meeting their dog, cats and chickens (not to mention the local bunny population). We were able to really relax and enjoy the beauty of Sooke and the surrounding area - it was the perfect place to rest after our days of hiking, tide pool hopping and otherwise exploring Vancouver Island's wild west.
