Sooke is a great starting place to explore Vancouver Island (we found Victoria too busy and touristy). Amazing coastal hikes, beautiful beaches, many nature activities. Daniel and Cameron are wonderful hosts and their home is relaxing and warm, located in a quiet end of Sooke, but still short drive to couple of great restaurants and places to explore. Our stay comfortable, enjoying the views of the ocean in the evening and and homemade granola and yogurt and toasts and jam waiting for us every morning. Hard to find a more relaxing place. Hope to be back!
