What a special place. We loved watching the relaxing water scene, the beautiful sunsets and the Eagle circling above.
We brought our coffee to use in the percolator provided in the kitchen and sat out in the morning sun before the breeze picked up.
We had two 5 star dinners out which we highly recommend. One in a very casual setting at the end of Gillespie Road (and through a trailer park) at Smokin Tuna Cafe, amazing food, with a stunning view of the wharf. No menu, just whatever gourmet creation the talented chef writes on the board. The other you need reservations for - at Wild Mountain in Sooke. This was another 5 star meal that we will rave about for a long time. Our lunch at Sooke Harbour House by comparison was quite forgettable.
So take lots of books, some good grip shoes for the walk down to the cabin, and you will enjoy this magical location thoroughly.
