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!

Sooke Potholes stay

It was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The hosts had bikes we could borrow to use on the Galloping Goose trail, which was a highlight. Close to walks in the Sooke Potholes regional park.

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.

Nice little hideaway

Loved the proximity to the Galloping Goose and the fact that we could walk it with a stroller. The perpetually backed-up traffic into town was a bit of an annoying and unforeseen problem. I liked the booklet the host left for us - appreciated the local tips on food and outings. Also appreciated the playpen and lots of extra blankets. (A high chair would’ve been awesome!) But while one of the queen beds was super comfy, the other definitely was not. Also had ongoing issues with the tv while we were trying to play music. The bbq was a bit out of the way and we didn’t have utensils. But overall a very enjoyable stay.

My happy place in every way. Love the 2 separate very comfy bedrooms, windows everywhere providing lots of light and screens so they can be opened, air conditioning, full kitchen, perfect indoor socializing area (great for board games), beautiful wood and other detailing, deck, privacy, quiet, green space all around (it’s the owners yard). Easy access to ‘downtown’ Sooke and beyond. Love this home away from home.
