Wonderful stay at Sooke guesthouse

We had a wonderful visit to Sooke and Victoria. The guesthouse is clean and comfortable with lots of natural light and a view of the backyard complete with chickens. We took a day trip to Salt Spring Island which was fun. Lots of hiking and spending time in charming Victoria. Thanks Laura and Steve!

Peaceful Sooke guesthouse

My third stay at Laura and Steve's Sooke guesthouse was as lovely and enjoyable as my previous visits. The view of the yard and woods beyond is very soothing. The accommodations are comfortable and very clean and modern. I feel very relaxed here and the location is convenient to going East into Victoria or going West to the provinicial parks and beaches. Thanks Laura and Steve!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Laura and Steve were great hosts. The guesthouse was perfect for our needs. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and there's a lovely skylight in the bathroom. While in the area, we did the Peden Lakes Trail in Sooke Potholes Park and spent a number of hours at Butchart Gardens, a true Canadian national treasure if ever there was one. Pizza at Stoked Wood Fired Pizzeria is wonderful and breakfast at Shirley Delicious is outstanding. We'd love to come back some day.

A Wonderful experience. Quiet, comfortable and clean - falling asleep to crickets every night and listening to the Ravens as we wake. Our hosts were very friendly and attentive. Deer visiting in the early A.M. and nothing but beautiful green trees all around to look at in this tranquil setting. The Galloping Goose trail just outside the back yard is a cyclist's paradise - wide, flat and no hills but lots of nature on your adventures. Highly recommend!

Perfect spot on the Galloping Goose!

We spent 4 nights here and everything was perfect! A quiet, peaceful setting, with direct access to the Galloping Goose Rail Trail. The grounds are lovely, beds are comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. We found so much to do in Sooke besides the cycling.

2 days on the Galloping Goose!

Two old Ladies who used to cycle on the Galloping Goose spent two very comfortable days at Laura's apartment. This was ideal from our point of view with fully appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, and lovely view of the garden at the end of which was the trail. It is close to downtown Sooke, which has a good grocery store and restaurants. The building itself has solar panels which serve the electrical needs of the apartment.. We were very happy with our choice of accommodation.
