아르부투스 코브 게스트하우스(Arbutus Cove Guesthouse)

The view of the Bay from the deck. The hosting was smooth and comfortable. The room was large, and the common room was very effective and large as well.

We walked to Arbutus Cove from Metchosin and then to the Sooke Potholes. The Arbutus Cove Guesthouse was conveniently situated on the water right in between. We were greeted warmly and shown both to our room and to the common area where we could get tea and coffee and store our stuff in the refrigerator. There are four guest rooms. Our room was clean and friendly, with a wonderful deck and a view of the water. The hot tub was quite welcome! In the morning, we were able to get our coffee and tea and watch the otters crosing the bay before being called into a hearty breakfast at 8:30. It is a 15 minute uphill walk to the 17 Mile Pub, which lived up to its name and provided great basic drinks and pub fare. I would return!

Beautiful place to stay. Hosts are very welcoming. Our room was amazing and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious 😋 We will totally stay again.

Kathy and Mike were so helpful as we had a small trailer and weren’t sure where to park. Kathy met us on the road so we could scope out the parking area and had even moved their own car to give us space. Above and beyond what we could’ve expected to make for a wonderful and easy stay.

The inn is a gem, and the loccation is sublime. We were so happy with our stay, that we booked a room for the return leg of this visit to southern BC.

We were blown away by how nice this place was. It definitely goes down as the nicest lodging we had on our trip around Vancouver Island. The location is absolutely stunning, right on the edge of Arbutus Cove, with expansive views across the bay to the surrounding hills. And the lodging has a large deck where you can sit out and enjoy the view while soaking in the sunshine. It is a bit out of town, so you would definitely want to have your own car. There are a few restaurants in the general area, but it’s only a 10-min drive into town, so not too bad. It is especially handy for cyclists, as it is located pretty much right on the Galloping Goose cycleway. We had a very friendly reception from the lovely host who quickly got us oriented and checked into our room. There are only 4 rooms on the property, all within the main lodge complex, so it feels nicely intimate. Our room was spacious, airy, and bright, with tons of windows to enjoy the amazing views. The furnishings were all comfortable and the room spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The Wifi internet worked well and the TV had a Roku account so a wide range of programming available. Our only actual complaint was that the TV was so darn small, about the size of a computer monitor, it was hard to see from the bed. A large, modern TV would be a welcome addition. In any case, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope we have the opportunity to come back here some day. Highly recommended to all travelers in Sooke

This hotel is a hidden gem in the wilderness of Vancouver Island. The room was very spacious and clean. The lake view outside the picture window was grand. The hotel is situated right on the Galloping Goose trail. We wish we had made time to hike the trail, but our schedule was full due to an unexpected event. Perhaps next time.

Our host was great, recommended a pub within walking distance, did not disappoint. Beautiful view overlooking the ocean from our room.

Lovely property with a stunning serene view. Home cooked breakfasts to die for!
