The waterfront suite is just as described and as shown in the photos. From the large deck you can see the little islands, and the binoculars supplied by the hostess allowed us to see 5 or 6 seals, some sea otters, and a pair of eagles. Some days we just did not want to leave the place. In the evenings we enjoyed the fire in the wood burning stove, and slept well in our very quiet two bedroom apartment . Our host and hostess had good advice on wonderful local hikes; we hiked at the Sooke Potholes and the along the coast at East Sooke Regional Park. Downtown Victoria is only a 30 minute drive away. We enjoyed the Victoria Symphony, Greater Victoria Art Gallery, the main library, and the Royal BC Museum. If you enjoy nature, a quiet house and neighbourhood, and the pleasures of a small city, this is the place for you.
