Farm Stay Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our time at Farm Stay. We were not around much, really only to sleep and have breakfast since we were touring the Sooke area and trying to fit everything we wanted to see into our 2 nights. However, the accommodation was excellent! Nothing to complain about and Derek has thought of all the little things that make it that much better. Ie: USB plugs bedside, coffee, condiments and chocolates available, nice bed linens and towels, lovely dishware etc. The location is very convenient for visiting areas of Sooke and the nature! Since we were not on site much, we didn’t get the experience meeting the animals which I would have loved! Well done Derek!

recent visit

The property was compact, quiet and clean with modern decor. The listing says that it is 1 bedroom and sleeps 4. We were 2 guests and it was a snug stay but I suspect that four guests could feel really cramped in this property. Not a complaint, just my opinion on what was advertised. Close to amenities and a lovely farm setting.

Very convenient to the Galloping Goose. Commendations are very good for a couple or just one person. Daniel's market across the street has a good selection of food. The induction plate, microwave and fridge a plus if you are on a budget or just do not want to go out for meals.

Lovely, quiet farm property, 5 minutes to town

This VRBO unit on the property is private, comfortable and nicely furnished with everything you need in the kitchen, bedroom and bath. The wifi connection was good. You are 5 minutes from downtown Sooke and 35 km from Victoria. The Galloping Goose bike path is right outside the property gate. There are gardens in bloom and chickens too. A small market (yummy ice cream cones) and a gas station are across the road. The host, Derek, is very quick in responding to any questions. I would definitely stay again.

An absolute 10/10 experience, a beautiful little farm surrounding a comfortable and cozy place to stay! Across the road there are valuable amenities to buy fresh produce and treats, with the Stickleback bar and grill ~500m away. Far enough out of Sooke to avoid traffic but close enough that its hardly anything to get there, would recommend to anyone for a home away from home or a staging area for the great nature surrounding them!

Sooke Getaway

We wanted to come up to Sooke for a quick getaway and a little biking on the Galloping Goose and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Comfortable bed, hot shower, cold AC. what else do you need. It was convenient to everything but also out of the bustle of downtown.

Why they chose this property

We offer a unique experience of both being rural, yet quick access to all the amenities of city life.
Our property borders the Galloping Goose Regional linear trail, which is well know for mountain biking, walking and horseback riding.
This is a working hobby farm, and great opportunity to see some small farm animals and consume farm fresh produce and eggs. If you are here at the right time in spring, you may be lucky enough to enjoy some of the baby farm animals.
