General Overview

This Guest Suite is our Labour of Love, created out of our enjoyment for hosting. Throughout you will find artful details, thoughtful decor and furnishings designed with the comfort of our friends and family in mind. This bright, woodsy two-floor loft is next to our main house, and yet offers friendly privacy. You will be surrounded by serenity and beauty in our rural setting on South Vancouver Island, with Ocean and Garden views. The space is bright, warm, and versatile, with hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings on the main, modern furnishings, and an option for sleeping on two levels. Cozy enough for 2, but spacious enough for 5-6. The ground level offers a private entrance, kitchenette, dining space, a comfortable living room, 3pc newly renovated bathroom with heated floors. The main offers sleeping in a comfortable Queen Murphy Wall bed. The large loft sleeps an additional Queen bed and Double bed. The Loft also features a comfortable reading and games area; and provides garden and spectacular ocean views both South and North facing. The loft is accessed by a beautiful solid wood loft stairs. This is a non-smoking, pet free, family friendly suite.

The Space

Guests have access to parts of the yard that we call our ‘Wildwood, a grassy section with mature alders, fir trees, blackberries, wild bunnies, the occasional deer, and our favorite mossy rock that is home to a fire pit, and Pergola, overlooking stunning ocean views, and surrounded by gardens. Swing in the hammocks, settle into our comfortable Adirondack chairs, or dine alfresco at our outdoor dining teak table under the wisteria. Children may enjoy our trampoline or a friendly game of badminton. Or find a quiet scenic spot in our front yard sitting area, overlooking gardens, ocean views, accompanied by the friendly chatter of feisty hummingbirds as they feast on our fragrant honeysuckle.

Guest Access

2 floor loft with options for sleeping on both levels. Guests with mobility concerns can enjoy the convenience of staying on the main floor, which includes everything you need in one accessible space. While the charming Loft bedroom provides for additional space and privacy, and is especially a favorite for families with kids. The loft is accessible by a sturdy 'ladder'. Please go up and down facing the ladder.

Neighbourhood

Our neighborhood is called Otter Point. Here you will enjoy a rural setting with close proximity to both Nature and Sooke town amenities (located 8 km), close enough to enjoy the vibrancy of City life (Victoria 47km), yet only minutes to several West Coast beaches, and the draw of Old Growth forests. We are ideally located for nearby activities that include beach combing, old growth forests and nature trails, coastal hiking, charter fishing, horseback riding, whale watching, bike/kayak/paddle boarding opportunities within minutes. Here you may also enjoy the quietness of being away from a city, or the brilliance of the stars enhanced by the darkened night sky. Fall in love with the uniqueness of our area as you watch the fog roll in over the water, hear the sound of the waves rolling, the voices of the Sea Lions; the smell of the fresh sea air; and excitement of spotting whales from the comforts of our front yard or the loft window. Some of our favourite nearby spots: 1 block from Otter Point rocks and small public park with shoreline fishing access. 1-2 km from Gordon's beach, an easy 10-15 walk. 4km from Muir creek 8km from the town of Sooke. 10 minutes to the Sooke Potholes 10km to Sheringham Lighthouse, French Beach and Shirley Delicious (a MUST visit for their tasty treats!) 20 minutes from Jordan River and China Beach and the Juan de Fuca Trail head @ Mystic Beach. 40 minutes to Sombrio Beach and our favourite secret Waterfall 30 min to East Sooke, Beecher's Bay (another gem) 1hr 15 min to Port Renfrew, Botanical Beach (our #1 suggested excursion) 47 km to Victoria 1 hour by car from Swartz Bay Ferry 63 km to nearest airport, Victoria International Airport
