My husband and I went back to Sooke Harbour House after staying there 25 years before. It was every bit as warm and hospitable as we remembered from years past. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent. We spent a lot of time with binoculars the next morning watching the blue heron's hunt. The room was great... More

My husband I stayed at the Sooke Harbour House in March of 2013. The room we stayed in (Emily Carr) was beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed the wood burning fireplace and the mountain and ocean vistas...stunning! The hotel staff were very courteous and polite. I can't say enough about our fabulous meal we had in the dining room - overlooking the... More

We went here courtesy of our daughters for a anniversay dinner. The drive to Sooke is about an hour from Victoria, along forested roads, passing the city of Sooke, which has an interesting museum, located just before it. A pub along the way (17 Mile House ) Sooke Harbour House is getting old. Still has wonderful herb garden, freshly prepared... More

Better bed at a Motel 6. For $200 plus a night...we could have stayed at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria for less, and a much better bed. Also breakfast before 8 AM. Place was locked up at 8 PM too. Much earlier than the 10 PM as advertised for public spaces.

Furniture in the mermaid room was worn and shabby as it was on the porch as well. we were not advised when we booked our stay that the dining room was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, though the dining room looked lovely, and is highly rated and sois one reason we chose to stay here. Also the breakfast is only... More

My wife and I went to Sooke Harbour house at the beginning of May/13. This was our 3rd visit I believe and it was as we had anticipated. Very quiet, excellent food and good clean room. We'll be back for sure. This is a very unique place, do your homework first as to the menu and when the dining room... More

The scenic views and reliable service is what makes the amazing Sooke Harbour House a place that I will always choose to visit. Each room is so beautifully decorated and unique. The restaurant looks over the water and is just breathtaking. Not to mention the food is delicious!

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and it honestly is the worst we've been treated. The room was very dirty. Mold, shower scum you name it. The food tasted okay but the service staff is very bad. To say they are "Rude" is being nice. The dinner on the first night was good but our waitress acted... More

I have been the co-owner of Sooke Harbour House for the last 35 years and was truly shocked by your review posted on Trip Advisor today May 5, 2013 about your stay in June 2012! I have a hard time believing you actually had dinner twice in our restaurant as our servers that have been with us for many years... More

Came out for our second Sunday brunch with an Xmas gift voucher. Lovely location. Staff friendly. Food excellent. House salad is great. Chocolate mousse cake/ice cream terrific for sharing. Coffee best I've ever had in a restaurant. Love the unrefined Demerara sugar! Relaxing +++. Note the brunch is not a buffet, rather menu items which change regularly according to availability....

This is the place to be on Vancouver Island. We spent a weekend away on a "work retreat". It was both relaxing & energizing. Waterfront location, decor, food (local grown) and service were all 10/10. I wish it was closer to the Mainland. Expensive but well worth it........
