Arbutus Cove Guest Lodge was a pleasant surprise. We had been booked in by a conference organizer and we wondered about being away from the hotel in Sooke. The guest property is about 9 km from the heart of Sooke. It's down a twisty, winding road and we were beginning to wonder what we had gotten into. At the very... More

Flawless! We loved our getaway in this spectacular place. From first contact with Kathy, we enjoyed easy reservation and check-in, then when we entered the cabin were amazed at it's beauty and comfort. A hot tub on the deck, in the midst of a hail and windstorm, was incredible. The location seems a million miles away but is so accessible... More

We stayed here for 4 days over Christmas while visiting family for the holidays, and have nothing but good things to say about it. We had cycled by in the summer while on a visit to check it out, and were impressed with the beautiful gardens, and how well kept the property seemed to be, so decided to book it... More

We stayed one night. The property is nice in a quiet location. Comfortable room and a large kitchen, sitting, dining area. We had this to ourselves, but it could be a bit crowded if all the rooms were let. The security was a bit lax. The entrance door did not want to open from the outside. However as the external...

This is a large wooden lodge separate from the main house giving one complete solitude and privacy. The view was over Sooke Sound, where the seals catch fish and the wind ruffles the water. Everything changes, the colours, the clouds, the water and the wind in front of your eyes; for us it was a frozen three days of our... More

The Arbutus Cove could be great if the hosts were more hospitable. The location is lovely and the rooms comfortable, but the only exchange we had with the owner was to get our credit card info and pay the bill. This occurred the minute we arrived at the guesthouse, and evidently replaced any welcome. The owner did give us a... More

We stayed in the Arbutus Cottage for 3 nights in July and we fully recommend this place. It is self contained, with fully stocked kitchen, clean bedroom and bathroom, cozy living room and a gorgeous deck with hot tub and barbeque. The little thoughtful touches make it feel like home. Excellent location and quiet natural beauty make this the perfect... More
