I had a chance to stay at Derek's place for 2 nights with my sisters. It was meant to be a retreat to spend quality time with family and the place met our needs perfectly. Small drive from Sooke but once you have the groceries and liquor on board, you probably don't need to venture out again.
Amazing view. Went for a swim in the reservoir. Felt alone in the world.
Would like to go back in the future for sure!
