Norm and Pam's cottage deserve 10 stars. Such a lovely, peaceful place made even better by incredibly generous hosts.

As another reviewer noted, the pictures just don't do the place justice. It's a little slice of heaven enjoying the view from the deck, watching the otters frolic in the water and bald eagles soar overhead. Sooke, BC is quiet and unassuming with excellent hiking, beautiful vistas and friendly folk.

We're already planning our return next summer.
