Beautiful views from the hot tub, balcony, and patios. The grounds are stunning, with lush manicured gardens and views. We stayed for a week, making 2-3 meals a day in the kitchen (it has all the basic pots/pans/dishes). We picked up groceries on the outskirts of Victoria before driving out, and visited the Saturday Farmers Market in Sooke to get local bread, mushrooms, greens, and eggs. The bed is comfy and the overall cottage space is perfect for 2. We spent more time in the outside spaces, so we didn’t feel too closed in. Definitely enjoyed the local parks, trails, and scenic drives. There are 3 outstanding breweries within 5-10 minutes from the cottage.
