We had a wonderful stay. Derek and his partner were very friendly and helpful. The property was beautifully landscaped and the accommodations were clean and included all the basics and a few extras for us to enjoy our stay!

We enjoyed our stay here. It was conveniently located to drive to different parts of the island. There were many small touches added that made it feel like home such as a night light. Kitchen was well stocked. There was a book with helpful information and we were provided with our entry code well in advance of arrival. We would stay again when visiting the area.

Farm Stay Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our time at Farm Stay. We were not around much, really only to sleep and have breakfast since we were touring the Sooke area and trying to fit everything we wanted to see into our 2 nights. However, the accommodation was excellent! Nothing to complain about and Derek has thought of all the little things that make it that much better. Ie: USB plugs bedside, coffee, condiments and chocolates available, nice bed linens and towels, lovely dishware etc. The location is very convenient for visiting areas of Sooke and the nature! Since we were not on site much, we didn’t get the experience meeting the animals which I would have loved! Well done Derek!

Why they chose this property

We offer a unique experience of both being rural, yet quick access to all the amenities of city life.
Our property borders the Galloping Goose Regional linear trail, which is well know for mountain biking, walking and horseback riding.
This is a working hobby farm, and great opportunity to see some small farm animals and consume farm fresh produce and eggs. If you are here at the right time in spring, you may be lucky enough to enjoy some of the baby farm animals.
