All of our rooms have been designed for year-round comfort and charm. Every one features ocean views, a balcony or terrace, private bath with luxurious deep soaker tub and/or misting shower, wet bar and comfortable sitting area in front of a wood-burning fireplace. Each has its own unique decor with decorative touches by Frederique, original artwork, antiques and books enhancing the theme. In any season our rooms offer a cozy and spirit-renewing refuge.

Connecting with nature is an essential part of being alive. “The tonic of wildness,” as Henry Thoreau called it, is crucial to our health and happiness. Enjoy our live beachfront entertainment; sunbathing seals, frolicking otters and visiting whales.

Remember, all of the rooms have breathtaking views*, wood-burning fireplaces, wet bars stocked with coffee, tea and cookies, port to sip by the fire, balcony or terraces and each is uniquely decorated with original art and whimsical touches.

The differences between the room types are in the size of the room, the size of the bed, and the type of hot tubs, jacuzzis or steam showers offered.

Watch this slide show and interview with the co-owner Sinclair Philip that covers much of the history and philosophy of the Inn:

Sooke Harbour House, Organic West Coast Gardens.

The gardens of Sooke Harbour House are, modestly put, an edible paradise. We grow naturally, organically and seasonally. The plants we have in the garden all have an edible part. It may be a leaf, a flower, a root, a tuber, a stem, the fruit or the bulb.
The garden is very attractive in all seasons, but more colourful in the Summer. Spring, Fall and Winter, all have their own charm and beauty. The purpose of the garden is to grow interesting and delicious products to use in our kitchen. Our favourable climate allows us to do this year round.We do not separate the garden into herb, vegetable or flower section. Everything is planted where it will grow the best. That may mean the roses are interplanted with herbs and edible flowers or fuchsia and tuberous begonias thrive under similar conditions There are challenges to growing by the ocean, but the natural beauty makes it all worthwhile.

If you have questions about kitchen gardens, herbs, salad greens, or edible flowers please feel free to email inquiries to gardens@sookeharbourhouse.com. Please state where you live, so we can take your climate into consideration.

Sooke Harbour House Herb Garden:

Usually a herb garden will contain edible plants with a culinary use, that will be harvested fresh everyday or dried for future use.  They may also contain medicinal herbs or dye plants and that is their original use.  Some plants will have both culinary and medicinal use, such as sage and lavender and may be both useful and beautiful.

A herb garden can be arranged in formal beds, like a knot garden or parterre or informally put into a mixed border with ornamental plants.  The garden may contain annuals, biennials,  and perennials with both shrubs and trees.  Our garden contains all these elements and are generally used throught out the property and as part of the landscape.

At Sooke Harbour House, we have created an edible landscape on our grounds of over 200 edible herbs, greens, edible flowers and vegetables.

Our garden design focuses on producing healthy, fresh and delicious food, which is both beautiful and functional.

Garden Tours

Join one of our experienced gardeners for an instructive stroll through our organic kitchen gardens. Learn what we are growing for our kitchen this season, discover edible plants, hear about our efficient composting system, the process of becoming certified organic, and take in the beauty of our grounds.

Complimentary garden tours take approximately 45 minutes, and are offered daily at 10:30 am. Please meet your tour guide at the front desk at this time.

The Vancouver Island region is best experienced out of doors. So much of it is protected, unspoiled wilderness that any visit here would be incomplete without an excursion to at least one park or nature reserve. Right accross the strait we have East Sooke Park full of trails with beach access, picnic areas and easy terrain for a visitor at any age.

Wildlife flourishes in abundance, making birding, whale watching and salmon fishing extremely popular pursuits for visitors and locals alike. Birders can check hundreds of species off their lists. Whale watchers regularly sight Orcas, humpbacks, greys and minkes. Anglers fish for all five species of Pacific salmon. Take a salmon charter and ask our chefs to prepare your catch for dinner, they will be happy to cook or even smoke your fish for you.

There is almost any kind of outdoor fun in the region – golfing, hiking, biking, kayaking, camping, swimming and picnicking – and plenty to do indoors as well. Visit museums and heritage sites of Victoria, enjoy live theatre, browse art galleries, tour vineyards or stay indoors and be pampered in your room with our spa services.

Congratulations to everyone!

Good luck!
