SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort is set in Sooke, 23 km from Sooke Region Museum & Visitor Centre and 3 km from East Sooke Park. Free WiFi is available.

A variety of popular activities are available in the area around SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort, including cycling and hiking. A fitness room is accessible. The location, on a cliff facing the Strait of Juan de Fuca, was fantastic. The cottage itself was very modern, well-equipped for cooking, immaculate with a great shower and deep bathtub. Even in November, the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling glass balcony doors are worth throwing open to see, hear and feel the sea air and waves directly below. Hummingbirds visited each day. Everything was very high quality and the staff in reception was very helpful and friendly. Check-in and check-out were straight-forward.

The air-conditioned accommodation is less than 1 km from Nanaimo Museum, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.5 km from Nanaimo Bastion. The owner was really kind and helpful. She informed us that the road we would need to take to continue our journey was closed for renovations following fires. She inquired with the tourist office about available buses. It really helped us a lot. The breakfast was really varied and plentiful. There are 2 very sweet dogs and a cat. Spacious garden to relax. In the morning several squirrels could be spotted.

Boasting mountain views, Baylight 天使谷 offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 18 km from Mill Bay Ferry Terminal. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is situated 19 km from Royal Roads University. We had a delightful time at Baylight. The downstairs apartment is clean and feels fresh, the beds were super comfortable (in fact I peeked at the brand so I would know for future mattress purchases) and the whole place is adorably decorated. They are still working on getting the kitchen set up, so if you are coming in the near future, bring meals and foods you can warm up in the microwave, bagels for the toaster, and don’t forget the ice cream which you can have while enjoying the gorgeous view outside your door. Catherine and Jeff were wonderful to work with and very responsive. All around, a wonderful home base for those planning on exploring the beauty of Vancouver Island.
