About the host
Hosted by Guy & Amber

Hi there!
We live and work on Vancouver Island and and in our spare time we enjoy all the outdoor activities offered in and around Sooke: hiking in the hills and driving down the coast, kayaking on the Basin, cycling on the Goose and swimming in the beautiful fresh water lakes.
We love hosting because we love where we live and all that it has to offer. Sharing that with visitors is a real pleasure. In addition we have both worked in busy jobs and know how important a break can be to restore and recharge and we have kept that in mind with all the details in the cottage to help our guests relax and unwind during their stay with us.

Cycle, stroll or run on this picturesque multi-use trail, formerly a railway line, that takes you on a 55-kilometre journey from Sooke to Victoria. Scenic water views of Sooke Basin await you just a 10 minute stroll from the Cottage along the trail.
The Stickleback Restaurant, with one of the best waterfront patios in town is within a leisurely 15-minute walk. Need to grab some essentials? Fear not, as a quaint grocery store and a convenient gas station are also just a short 15-minute walk away.
Nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers will find themselves in paradise with access to established hiking and mountain biking trails in the Sooke hills, all within easy reach. If you're here during the right season, don't miss the opportunity to rent kayaks at the same site as the restaurant. If you are not an experienced kayaker sign up to one of the group tours available and visit with some of Sooke's year round marine residents such as harbour seals, and otters. It is not uncommon to spot golden eagles and osprey over the Sooke Basin area.
Should you choose to explore further, Sooke Centre is a mere 10-minute drive away, offering a myriad of activities such as whale watching, dining options, and the chance to savor craft brewing experiences. Hare Cottage invites you to unwind, connect with nature, and make the most of your stay in this idyllic corner of Sooke.
